SMASHING OF HATS
 IS STILL OBSERVED
Oxford and Cambridge Students
 Maintain Old Custom

London, April 90 CUP)-In the good old days of hanson cabs and heavy ladies of tho chorus it was not unusual for the undergraduates as the gentlemen of Oxford and Cambridge universities arc called, to come to London town on occasions anu take charge Of piccadilly Circus and all points west. There are still certain evenings of the year when an elderly gentleman may find his top hat being used as a football by stu dents who have organized an i'm prOmptu game in the Strand. Boat race night is capable of being like that.
 Tho freedom of London acts as a natural tonic to the undergrads because there are very few bright lights in their native haunts. off cially there arc no lights at all after what might be termed only the start of q potentially fine evening. And there arc rules and regulations. i7Olllt oL llltIiit oL tCliiStt al tll- forced. There is tho ono about be- ing fined one penny for arriving at college or lodging house between 10 p. III. and II ?. m., and a fine of twopenCc for arriving after II but before midnight. Goodness only knows what may happen after that, perhaps the fine increases by q penny an hour for the doors arc Of 1icially closed at 10 o'clock.
 Among the rules not enforced Is the one about not entering any licensed premises, i.o., freQuenting d public house, saloon, or other in- stitutions kept open for the dis pensing of strong drink. Of course the students might voluntarily, as sume the responsibility for the en- only theoretical and what good could come of trying to enforce a theory? It might not work, Any how. tho rule is only enforced in cases of persistent rowdyism, which are very few. Scholars and gentle men do not imbibe too freely, es- pecially within stumbling distance of a college.
 There arc several things that an undergraduate at Cambridge is not supposed to do. He must not take part in any dance in a public room or in any dramatic entertainment, unless the function is licensed by the university authorities: go out after dusk without bis cap or gown: smoke within the precincts of his college; use q motCr car. if he is q first year man; have d motor car out, when permitted 10 uso one, after S:3O T. m., during tho Octo- Der and Lent term and 10 P. m, dur ing the May term. The people who see that Cambridge men obey these rules are known as the Proctorial Syndicate, consisting of two Proc tors and four pro- Proctors, each of whom has two Constables or bull dogs 10 aid in the administration of truth and right.
 The Chief Proctor of Cambridge. aided by few bulldogs, found out recently that all early-to-bed ideas were not being carried out in the spirit that made the boat race what it is today. After observation by the bulldogs, the Chief Proctor visited a cottage a few miles outside Cam bridge, arriving in what might be called the cool of the evening" He entered a room in the cottage and found four undergraduates seven girls, the hostess and her son. and an elderly man, identified later in court as the husband of the hostess.

 23.DAY STRUGGLE
Ate Canned Meat When Unable
 to Cook

Truro, N. &, Dec. 23 UP)- Seven members of the crew of the three-masted schooner Amy G. Me kean, which was abandoned 800 miles off Queenstown, arrived at Halifax last night with a story of 2S-day fight to keep their vessel afloat in a high-running sea.
 They were rescued by the Swed- ish motor vessel. Strassa, and when they neared Halifax they were transferred to motor boat. All were suffering from exhaustion and one of the seamen, J. Lynch, ha q infected hands where blisters had become poisoned. He was taken 10 a hospital.
 The seamen said they ran into a gale during the voyage out of Queenstown and their ship was hove to. For 23 days they pumped in an attempt to keep the Amy G. Mckean afloat. Huge waves broke across the vessel and it was impos- sible to do any cooking. Salted provisions and canned meat were their only food. they said.
 Once the captain tried the schoon- CT back to Falmouth, but was un- successful. On December 10 the Strassa came along and took off the crew just as they were preparing to take to lifeboats.
