MIDNIGHT HOUR OF ATTACK
Professors Are Aroused From Sum-

I'VE have met the enemy and they
are ours" The soph banner was on
top last night after the first real COM
bat of the season with the greener

The time was midnight or there

boys dOrmitory on the second floor
The participants numbered about Il
freshmen and a somewhat larger
number Of sophs.
1t was a peaceful night above the
Thirty-eighth street boulevards All
seemed quiet and the neighbors had
no apprehensions of coming conflict
when they retired; 1870 arrived and
slumber had begun to reign through
out the neighborhood. But not for
long. Suddenly the watchwOrd was
given and a party of freshmen swoop-
ed down upon the unsuspecting
sophs. There was a brief struggle, a
few shouts and then 10 mortified soph-
ignores found themselves unable to
move hand or foot. The first episode
was over and the freshies were vic
torious.
But now reinfoTcements came upon
! the scene. The bound sophomores
were released, the hunted turned hunt
ers and the whole brigade Engaged
with the freshman COrpOrals guard A
few minutes more and the trick was
turned. Fourteen freshmen were
bound hand and foot and were MAX
ing themselves heard with the utmost
yehemence. The sophs had won.
But now the limit was reached. The
neighbOrs had been rudely awakened
and midnight telephone calls began to
come swiftly in the direction of the
homes of the Augustana faculty
Sleepy-eyed professors were jerked
out of bed, formed into a posse and
sent with all haste to the scene of the
! trouble. The instruction was quell-
/ ed. Peace and order were restored.
And the freshmen were forced to
await the dawn of another day before
further hostilities

 It was when Mann tried to belittle

 into the spirit of the measure. listened to the argument understandingly, saw it's vast importance and urged its pas sage.
