The sophomores at the University of Pennsylvania won another class "scrap" last night, using brains as well as brawn this time to obtain Uieir victory. The encounter, whirh wns deMgnated as a "poster fight," lasted from 5:15 o'clock to 0 o'clock, and during its progress, me llernl methods of storming castles were revived on the campus. The rules of the engagement were: One hundred posters were tacked up . 1 -'iiiiiu,toros in various placcn throughout the stretch of campus bounded by lliirtv-fourth street, Wood land avenue and Snrure street ; one of thc.c posters was the vital one. known only to the sophs and to the senior class piesident. who was Informed by n note Just previous to the tight: the fresh men, unaware which poster was so designated, were supposed to tear it down in the allotted time: the sopho mores were supposed to prevent it. Posters Tacked lp The guile nnd cleverness of the sec-ond-jenr men were displayed in their concealing of the important poster. Rrarenly and with much ostentation, thev went around the campus tacking and nailing up the various posters, Suspicious freshmen followed eery move. In the meanwhile a small party tack ed up the vital po.tr on the inside of the board fence between Wilnr In stitute and its annex, facing on Spruce street. At the outset of the fight bands of sophomores made a great show of de feuding the other ninety-nine posters and fought tooth and nail to prevent the freshmen from tearing them down. At the sfinie time nearly half the class waited in the vicinity of the vital pos ter. They didn't do it obviously, but managed always to keep within a short radius of the board fence, which is partially surrounded bv shrubbery. One by one the various posters fell under the onslaughts of the larger army of freshmen. Then, only fifteen min utes before the end of the tight, a wandering freshman climbed the board fence nnd discovered the missing pos ter. Immediatel. he set up a loud yell. and in that direction rushed excited hordes of botli clnssmen. The sopho mores, prepare for such an emergency. lined up liihifle the fence In numbers before their opponents could rally to trio attack. Sand and Sod IVd Thereupon commenced a correct imi tation of the storming of a medieval baron's stronghold. The freshmen used ladders nnd planks to scnle the fence. They climbed on top of each other The tried to climb the slippery, vertical boards. And every time as they reached the top, watchful sophomores toppled them over, none too gently. The defenders used sand ns a weapon, nnd many n bold freshman, nrrivlng at the edge of the fence, was suddenly blinded and had to sink back. The at tackers retaliated with hunks of sod which decorated their foes in various parts of their anatomy. Barbed wire, which topped the fence. nlo caused havoc with the poor freshmen.
