Since one defeat eliminates a team this year, each five displaced its utmost ability in an endeavor to re main in the contest. In spite of the fact that a few one-sided scores w ere turned in, most of the opponents were evenly matched and the encounters full of interest. The evening’s play was given a de cidedly singular opening when the Phi Deltn Theta aggregation ran up forty points against the Omega Mu Itho five and kept the latter scoielcbs. The next game, with Alpha Gamma Phi pitted against Sigma Pi, was very closely contested and ended with the score eight to five in the latter’s fa vor. Delta Upsilon Wins Delta Upsilon, displaying good form and teamwork, took the measure of the Delta Kappa Sigma tossers by the count of eighteen points to eight. A similar win was checked up m the nc\t contest when Alpha Gamma Rho garnered eighteen points against Lamba Chi Alpha’s seven. The last two games were more in the nature of runaways. The twen ty-three counters turned ir\ by Theta Knppa Phi easily proved their mas tery over Sigma Chi, while the Beta Sigma Rho quintet proved its worth in short order by taking over tlio Tnu Phi Delts to the tunc of 25-11. No Games this Week No games have been scheduled this week in the interfratermty tourney, although soveral will be played off in the intor-umt contest. The lapse in eliminations is necessitated by the fuct that workmen will bo in the Ar mory alt the latter part of the week puting up the decorations for the Sophomoro llop.
