HOYAS AND N. j.
HAVE ROUCHP
Ink-Stained G. U. Raider Is
Hurt When Forced to
Kiss Terrapin.

Maryland University'S priced bronze
terrspin rested on a shaky pedestal
today and at least one Georgetown
University student nursed bruised lips
from kissing same as result Of
humping party" staged by the Hoyas
and the College Park boys last night.
Unlike last years imbroglio between
flying squadrons from the two schools,
which ended in more than a score of
arrests when fist fights broke out at
the Hilltop campus, last nights DEM
onstration apparently was passed off
as good, clean but rough fun.
There was some discussion about
who suffered most-the terrapin, up
rooted from its concrete base and
daubed with the blue and gray of
Georgetown, or several of the George
town students, who were forced to
kiss the damaged Maryland mascot
and one in particular who was coated
with ink.
Terrapin Kidnapped.
The unscheduled pre-football game
rally between the student bodies
Of the two colleges started after five
carloads of Georgetown students sue
ceeded in prying loose the terrapin
IN front of the Maryland gymnasium
After applying the Georgetown colors
to the base they were caught in the
act of kidnapping the terrapin by a
descending mob of Maryland students.
Somewhat the worse for wear, the
terrapin was restored to its pedestal
and the captured Hoyas were dealt
with. Stripped almost bare, one of
the raiders was painted with ink.
With several of his fellow-students he
then was obliged to kiss the terrapin
by way of apologizing.
Fists started to fly when the Mary
landers attempted to make the in
vaders wash the paint from the ped
estal. The fight was brief and no
serious casualties were reported.
