vested in the executive committee which is com
posed of a representative from each interested
college.
The following officers were elected
Pres. M. M. Irvine, Franklin and Marshall.
V. Pres. W. C. Sproul, Swarthmore.
Sec'ty. M. P. Collins, Haverford.
Treas. C. H. Hile, State College.
Mr. Shields will probably be chairman of the
executive committee.
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 class of '94, not to be outdone by previous
freshmen, proceeded with the utmost secrecy to
make arrangements for their banquet. Everything
having been satisfactorily arranged on Friday,
'THE FREE LANCg.
Feb. i3th, at 3 o'clock, four hacks drew up at the
west entrance of the college and were quickly
filled by the freshmen.
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.
It is entirely unnecessary fur us to say that it was
a success, as the judgment of the body of specta-
