This arrangement of foot ball playing will probably be the most profitable and secure each college a fixed number of games. THE ".loo" BALL. The masquerade ball given in the Armory on Friday eve. February 20th, by the "400" for the benefit of the Athletic Association was a bril liant success. Nearly all the students took part in fancy dress, and our coeds were there, as were the town people, as spectators. The College Orchestra furnished music for the occasion. Ward McAllister Weidner had a prominent part in attending to the different calls of the participants. The assembly contained representatives of all classes from an angel down to his satanic majesty. The ".400" seems to be quite a stable organiza tion although we cannot say definitely as the miter is not "in it." Ward McAllister Weidner, P. P. Lorillard Crawford and Major Grant Pratt were the coin- mittee. '94'S BANQUET. A custom which has been productive in the past of much pleasure and which has served to bind the members of each class more closely together, is the annual banquet of each incoming freshman class.

The start was made when the sophomores hav ing by some means learned of their intention came rushing from the chemical laboratory to defeat their plan. • Two hacks were stopped by the Soph's, the horses were quickly unhitched and a general scrimmage ensued in which the principal damages were discolored eyes, battered noses and a liberal supply of mud on the clothing of the combatants. This struggle continued for some time when finally through the efforts of Dr. Ath erton and some higher classmen the detained freshmen were released and allowed to proceed •to Bellefonte by train. After repairing as far as pos sible all damages caused by the fray they pro ceeded to the restaurant of Mr. Achenbach, where an elegant feast awaited them. After the last course had been disposed of and while the rings of cigar and cigarette smoke ascended to the ceil ing Mr. W. H. Brown as toast master called the assembly to order, when the toasts were respond. ed to as follows : "Our College, Our Class, The Ladies, Our Professors Our Past, Our Future, Some impromptu toasts were given after which the boys sought their quarters at the various hotels. The banquet was a brilliant success and al though some unpleasant features were connected with the start yet each and every man will doubt less look back to it as one of the pleasantest ex-. periences of his college life. The Athletic Association held its indoor sports on Saturday Feb. 21st, beginning at r:3o p. m.
