Delta Theta Football
Game Postponed
Until Monday

The annual Delta Kappa Epsilon-Phi
Delta Theta football game which was
scheduled TO he played this afternoon
on SCaverns Field has been postponed
until Monday afternoon because the
field is being used all afternoon today
by the freshman sophomore baseball
game and the Coburn-Colby Seconds
clash. Both teams have been spending
a great deal Of time in practice for the
annual event and tho game should be
worth seeing, there usually being more
humor than football in the antics of
the players. Both Captain Peanut"
shaw of the Dcles and Cam:in Bar
ney Google" Thompson of the Phi
boobies are confident of an ovcrwhclm-
ing victory for their respective teams.
Captain Shaw stated that tho Dckc
hackilcld would make up for the loss
Of advantage in the line. which is con-
coded by sport writer's to hc very weak,
End would tear through the husky Phi
Delt first line Of defense in easy fash
ion. He thought that the score should
stand about 80 to for the WcarcrS Of

Captain Thompson of tho fast travel
ing Phi boobies is willing to bet his
last suit of clothes on tho chances of
his charges. Under The skillful hand
ling of Coach Tiny" sullivan. tho Rcd
House lads have advanced remarkably
in the art of football. In fact, Cap
Thompson states that his line IS
stoncwall from their toes TO the top
of their heads and the idea Of a DcIlc
cleanup is absurd. The game always
arouses the intense interest of the en-
tire college. both divisions. and a large
attendance is expected Monday after.

Temporary Changes in Layout
Several changes in the prison lay

served as the warden's garage. The
second floor of this building, which
comprises q large and we'll lighted

pool room by the prison officers, has
been turned over to that department.
The school work for the time being

infirmarN. 1t is not crowded as
there are only three men now on the
sick list.
Crowded conditions in the East
Wing are of course unavoidable.

prisoners. These are large airy cells.

Above these cells, the now cell

60 barred quarters will soon relieve
