HONORS DIVIDED IN
SUPREMACY BOUTS
Fresh Arc Nanquished on Field but
Sophs Arc Towcd Through Shiny
Waters of "Dc Puddle"

Honors were divided in the'annual
supremacy contests held Thursday
afternoon on Rogers field, the
sophomores finishing on the long
end of the scoEe, while the freshmen
held the dry end of the rope in the
main event, the tug-of-war through
Lake de Puddle The second year
men swept all before them in the
preliminary field events, but went
down to frigid Shiny defeat at the
hands of the newcomers in the tug
eing combat.
First on the program was the pen
nant fight which developed into a
species of football game The sophie
mores, with couple of rushes, a
long end run and clever back pass,
were soon within striking distance of
the goal Here they encountered a
stubborn resistance but we'll di-
rectcd drive sent the ball over for
the first soph victory
The sack race was run off in four
heats Of 10 men-five from each
side. The match was close through
out but ended with another win for
the second year men. Score: sopho-
more 1O7, freshmen 103.
The obstacle race. requiring attn
letes of exceedingly diversified abl-
ity, would probably have resulted in
freshman victory but for the diff
Guilty of several Wearers of the green
in negotiating the hurdles. 1t was
holly contested and anybody's race
until the last man was over the wall
The sophomorcs finished half a lap
in the lead.
Perhaps the most gruelling Of ~
the field events was the sack fight
in which both sides carried great
sacks of straw from the center of
the gridiron to their respective goals,
hampered in their efforts, however
by the numerous active goal defend
ers of the opposition. The sopho-
m ores proved more elusive in the
first half and lead their rivals by
five points. During the intermisson
the crowd of spectators, thinking the
game was over, dashed for the shores
of the lake in anticipation of the
big event. In the last half the frosh
came back strong and when the dust
had settled the game was found to
he tie Score: 2S-2S.
With the approach of the contest
de luxe, athe tug-of-war, a wave of
tenseness and excited expectation
swept over the crowd. There lay
the smooth, green pond, Shiny, cold,
and uninviting Across it stretched
a giant rope On the south bank the
frosh huskies took hold with = a
mighty determination. On the north
/ the sophomorcs, veterans at this
work, bantered each other, but
nevertheless betrayed a certain slight
nervousness. The rope was stretched
taut, the gun was fired, and 40 men
fought as for their very existence.
With a rythmical yo-heave no. the
second year men were gaining the
coveted advantage by inches whom a
slight pause in operations seemed to
give the freshmen renewed energy.
| From this point the sophomOres
steadily lost ground and, slipping,
sliding. straining every muscle,
moved resistlessly toward the icy
water, Not man shrank from the
ordeal, each giving all he had until
dry land receded from under foot.
Then amidst the wild cheering of the
frosh supporters the defeated team
wendell its watery way to the south
bank at the fatcd end of the rope.

States naval reserve at the headquar-
tiers in the old Naval Hospital at 9th

U. S. N, retired, is in charge of the
station.

made public only because of the dis
tinction they had of being the first to
enroll, it was said at the station today.
The women enlisted at this time are
only for duty as stenographers and
typewriters, and the office has not yet
begun to enlist women for duty as radio
operators. An order was received to-
day from the Navy Department to en-
list women only as stenographerS and
typewriters and they are given the rat
ing of yeoman, third class.
This Office also is en1isting persons in

CHICAGO, March 24.-Thomas w. La

night before investment bankers OF the

pared" reviewed financial conditions in
this country. He said. in part:
''Of Americas exports for 1915. total
ing almost $4,000, 100000. approximately
81. 000, 000, 900 were sold to England,
France. Russia and their possessions. In
the two years previous these same coun-
tries purchased from America $780,
100000 Of goods, making total purchases
500, 000,000
I'm the same period. we have granted
credit to these countries of something
less than $4,000, 5000 These figures
show how the trade Of these countries
has been Of enormous value to America
and would more than warrant extension
of continued credit. even if the entente
pations had not been fighting our battles
for us. as I believe they have. even If
we were not about to cast our lot in
with them.
''It may take some time for America
to assist actively in a military way. but
in. financial measures she can render
assistance this very moment II the
treasury should decide to issue a govern
ment obligation tomorrow for a billion
dollars. the whole sum would be waiting
for it.
Fortunately, In a financial way, our
country Is in state Of complete pre-
paredness. There is no sign of panic and
no possibility Of one. The community ha s
passed through all the apprehension of
impending war without a tremor. As a
solid and unsuitable basis we have an
allied nations that have in the last three
years bought from America nearly ST.
