HALLOWEEN AT w. NJ. A
Cadets Entertain Faculty And
Young Ladies Of Central
CnIlere.


One Of the most enjoyable
Halloween affairs was the party
given by the Wentworth cadets
Monday night in the gymnasium
to the faculty and students of
Central College. The gym was
beautifully decorated with corn
shocks and autumn leaves, and
bales of hay formed comfortable
seats in every nook and corner.
The girls came over in cars and
after being welcomed by Col
Sellers and a receiving line they
were introduced to their part
ners Of the evening. And the
fun began.
A grand March was held first,
led by Cadet Captain Reid and
MISS dorothy Boatsman of Cen
tral. This served to pair off all
the couples. Then the usual Hal
lowe'en stunts were done, and
plenty Of gingerbread and cider
made delicious refreshments.
During the evening an impromp-
tu orchestra composed Of Miss
Davis Of Central, at the piano
and Cadets Boyer and McKeen
on saxophones, and Cadet Min
ter on the trombone furnished
delightful music. The w. M. A
orchestra also rendered several
selections. The radio room,
which was receiving the Swee-
ney program from Kansas City
furnished much entertainment.
A feature of the evenings fun
was a company drill with cadets
and Central girls alternating in
the formation. The execution of
the military movements caused
much merriment.
At 1890 the party broke up
and it was decided by all pres
ent that it was one of the most
delightful occasions of the year.

WENTWORTH AND

Cadets Upset The Dope BY Play

Ducks.

doesn't indicate a victory, but
with nine out Of every ten it
does indicate an agreeable sur
prise. 1t was the opinion Of
town folks that the cadets were
in for drubbing. c. B. C. was
known to have a pretty nifty
team. A team composed of a
star here and there, and few
real men, ,-men with whiskers and
maturity. But what the cadets
lacked in whiskers and maturi-
ty they made up in fight,-not
enough, however, to charter a
victory, but enough to hold the
visitors, and to now and then
throw a scare into them.
The day was too hot for fast
football. The game commenced
with the kickoff by Chillicothe.
Wentworth made first down in
two plays, but the next couldn't
be made so easily and pass was
tried which Chillicothe inter
cepted, fumbled and recovered.
The bali was on ChiIlicothe's

Random went around left enc
for fifty yards. But there had
been holding and the ball was
brought back and the cadets
penalized fifteen yards. On the
next play Bandon punted. C. B
G. tried to advance, but the
cadets wouldn't let them, and 8
punt followed. w. M. A. made
10 yards thru center, and on the
nezt play drew another 15-yarc
penalty for holding. And so the
quarter passed; neither side a.

the first down. The cadets made

pervsion over the entire Hudson
river valley section. which grows
more apples than all of New Eng
land. This position pays salary
double what Mr. Dudley has received
in Maine.
According to one close TO Mr.. Dud-
ley, Governor Baxter invited Mr..
Washburn and Mr.. Dudley into con-
f-rcnce, upon learning OF Mr.. Dud-
iey's resignation. and having the or
chard interests Of the State at heart,
asked Mr.. Washburn II he would ac-
eept Mr. Dudley's withdrawal If Mr..
Dudley would reconsider his resigna-
ton. Mr.. Washburn rcIlied that he
would. Mr.. Dudley at that time said
that he did not care to remain here
any longer. but at the earnest de-
in convention at Lewiston, he con-
scented TO allow committee to pro-
coed to some adjustment.
A committee of orchar5ists went to
Augusta Friday morning and waited
upon Commissioner WasEburn, urg-
ing the necessity OF the States re-
tanning q man of such exceptional
ability as Mr.. Dudley. Mr.. WASH
burn agreed to accept the withdraw
al If Mr. Dudley would come to Au-
gusta personally and put it in writ
ing.
The committee telephoned Mr..
Dudley asking him 10 do this, and
they were confident that the Gov
ernor and Council would make the
necessary increase in salary; but
between the time of 'phoning and the
arrival Of Mr.. Dudley, there were
other developments and the commit
tee therefore reported to Governor
RaXter that it would be unnecessary
to take up the matter of salary.
