Fellow Student.

Something of the zeal and interest
shown by undergraduates in foot ball
games and in the success of their
teams was exemplif1ed by an incident
in school not a million miles from
here. Students in this particular in
stitution got an idea that a rival
school was sending scouts to watch
their squad practice. To prevent this
secret practice was declared and
guards were posted. About two days
after the guards had begun, their
duties a rather dignified young man
was apprehended watching the prac-
tice with what appeared to be more
than the usual interest. He was ac-
costed rather unceremoiiiously and
asked what he was doing. and, upon
failing to answer promptly, was sub
jected to an application of a paddle
and then given ducking in an ad-
jacent lake. The students were in
high glee over what they had done
to their rival schools representative
until about a dozen of them were
hailed into the presidents office the
next afternoon and confronted with
the irate parent of a member Of their
