ment at Urbana of a new school of

has recently lost a number of her
best candidates for the track team.

football team seems to be after the
other teams. They are leaving there
to go to other universities.

ulation of the university consist of

It has been suggested that a pub
lic square be condemned near the
University of Pennsylvania and that

Instead of the annual hair cutting
war between the Freshmen and
Sophomores at the University of
Michigan, which has caused many
serious injuries, it has been decided
to have a tug-of war across the Hu
ron river. One hundred men will
be chosen from each class and sta
tioned on each side of the river. A
long rope will be utilized, and one
class or the other will be dragged
through the river.
- There is a chance that Harvard
may abandon tennis this fall. While
a game was in progress a spectator
was struck in the eye by a peeled
lemon, hurled from some unknown
source. The eye is a total loss, but
the lemon will recover. The inci
dent, however, has convinced Presi
dent Eliot and the athletic board
that tennis as now played must eith
er be reformed or abolished in toto.
