parade ground. Both sides fought
valiantly for the full hour ana not a
man broke out of ranks to go home
for his umbrella when the rain came
on. The result was never in doubt
although the Sophomores at one
time came almost as near getting the
flag as Alexander came to getting
the roast of beef in the Ham Tree
act.
Fire Drill Soon
A welcome bit of news to every
student in college is the fact that in
McAllister hall and in Main build
ing an organization is to be effected
immediately to supervise the fight
ing of any fire which may occur in
the buildings.
This matter has been in charge of
Capt. Hay, who expects to have a
drill on Saturday of this week.
Each floor of the Main. building is
to have two squads of three men
each to handle the hose --two men
at the nozzle and one at the valve.

satisfactorily. Trousers 15c.
There will also be a squad on each
floor to act as guards when the
alarm is given, and all will be under
the supervision of the chief marshal
of the building. Three marshals on
each floor are to have direct charge
of their floor and are to select the
men to act on the squad. A similar.
organization is to be formed in Mc-
Allister hall.
It is certain that this plan of plac
ing authority in definite squads will
prevent any such lack of discipline
as was shown at the recent fire in the
Chemistry building, and to perfect
such a system, drill is necessary.
Saturday seems to be the best time,
and until the men get acquainted
with their places, these drills will
occur once in every week or two,
and then onde a month.
The village department has sug
gested the co-operation of the stu
dents with them under a town mar
snal as chief, the same organization

in the buildings to fight any outside
fire, and is possible that such an
agreement may be made.
