The annual grape rush came at the

The annual grape rush came at the
last half of the fifth inning of the
Sophomore Freshman game THURSDAY
morning. Both classes Swarmed the
field during the carly innings of the
game and kept constant watch of any
maneuvers to get the fruit to the lofty
Juniors. Unbeknown, however. a little
group of Freshies withdrew and busted
themselves for the onslaught. The
Sophomores stationed watchers at diff
ferent vantage points of the field and
let no grass grow under their feet. In
the middle of an exciting play there
suddenly rose shout by the entrance
to the rear of the grandstand. The
whole crowd ran to that point and saw
an auto approaching with grapes and
clinging Freshmen. The numbers and
formidableness of the mob at the gate
however, gave the Freshmen a scare
and when a short distance away they
wheeled about and made for the other
end of the campus, pursued by mad
dened crowd of Sophomores. Then it
was that the Freshmen put something
over the Sophs and established a new
precedent. Arriving at the lower end OF
the campus they proceeded. for some
unknown reason. to confiscate some of
the grapes. Later in the game many OF
them appeared with grapes. munchine
and chewing to their own satisfaction
For the present, however, they changed
their minds and once more at break

time succeeded in getting just inside

all present getting few. Some of the
more gentlemaniy took the pains to
hand a few boxes to the fair co-eds in
the grandstand, who received them
with gracious favor. Soon the excite
ment was over and interest in the
game resumed itself. The whole college
is wondering, however. what possessed
the Freshmen to eat part of the grapes
which are supposed to be handed out
to the Juniors only.
