B0WDo|N COLLEGE

AT chdpel IleSCay morning the
freshmen made their first demonstra-
ton Of the year. The sophomores,
leaving the chapel before the fresh
men, as is the usual custom, at
tempted to hold them within the
doors. AS the sophomores came out
they Immediately piled en- nasse
against the doors. One burly Sopho-
more had a large beam which he
placed against one of the doors. This
made the only chances Of exit a mat
ter of four feet. The Freshmen from
within the chapel then tried a series
of rushes against the door Several
times the defenders We're on the verge
of going down against the terrific
impact of the rushing yearlings.
Each time, the Sophomores repuised
the aspirants. The upper classmen
looked on, encouraging the freshmen
to break through. Several pairs of
glasses We're tossed to the spectators
to insure their owners against the
danger of getting them smashed.
Several men were tramplcd on. but
no serious consequences reported 1t
is the claim of the SophOmores that
they finally released the freshmen at
the injunction of the Student Council,
which claimed that several profess
sors were being detained in the
chapel. However, the event ended in
good feeling. 1t is q good indica ton
OF a spirited rivalry between the
mainder of the year.
