in Old Main on Monday evening.
“We hn\c been filling a much

Busy Court Gives Stay of Judgement -
to Lucky Unlucky Yearling Offenders
Because of the overcrowded list of
names of those petitioning the Tri
bunal as worthy of being excused
from part or all freshmen customs,
cases of erring freshmen were nearly
omitted fiom the itinerary for that
august body when it convened m ail
Old Main Wednesday night with a
crowded room of upper-classmen as
r background
Meting out justice, however, that
is characteristic of jurors, the “sol
emn council” disposed of twenty
three cases under the executive
guidance of M. A. Buckley, '26, presi
dent pro tem in the absence of 0. H.
Moore, ’26, who will not return until
later m the semester. Before the
docketed cases were heard, elections
were held for secretary. Pritchard,
’26, was selected to fill that role for
the coming season.
Sargoant at Arms Bergman being
absent, the part was given to the
charge of Michalske, who filled that
dignified position both efficiently and
humorously. His antics and wit,
coupled with the crossfire of the
“judges” and the comments of the
audience, made the affair quite lively
despite the dull nature of the cases.
First Transgression
First and only of the luckless year
lings to toe the chalk line during the
evening for a freshmen custom of
fense was Charles Seligman, ’29 No
matches, no bible and no namecard
was the charge After a thorough
examination of him and Ins case, he
was sentenced to tote for public dis
play, the usual eighteen by twenty
four cardboard bearing the inscrip
tion, “Didn’t expect to go, but hur
ried back,” m four by one-half inch
letters

OLD GRIDMEN CONTINUE
DAILY SCRIMMAGE WORK
Few Changes Made in Lineup
of First Team—Work of
Line Disappointing
With only a few changes marking
the piactico of the yeaihng gridders
dui mg the past week, Coach Her
mann is continuing the daily loutine
work in picpaiation for the opening
game of season with Wyoming Senu

team continually taking the offensive,
has been the regular program for
the pigskin wairiors for the last
week Starting, tackling and ham
mering the bucking machine' also oc
cupy n large part of the after
noon's woik No longer do the tired
bn'ttleis leave at an early hour, but
now dusk gicets them before the
last whistle sounds.
Poor Line
Despite its weight and speed
the line is one of the poorest in sev
cial years, according to Dutch Al
though this is, partly duo to inexperi
ence, the tioubic is dccpci seated and
the final outcome will depend on the
llnec weeks’ practice lematmng be
foie the yooiimg’s first clash
The situation in the backfield is
moie pi onus mg, Neal, Whitmore,
Wilson and Wolff gaming ground
consistently against the scrub elev
ens. Sevoial other backfield candi
dates on the second and third-string
aggiegations might also develope into
good players during the coming
w ceks
WohUyei, a former center on tho
foui Ui team, is now occupying the
coveted position on the fust eleven,
while Prnsse has been lelegutcd to
the second team. A slight infection
has kept Matlucu, guuid on the first
eleven, out ot practice and Traugh
