W. C. A.; Lotus Club. Blanche Avon Ryker ' — hasn ' t that all the beautiful sounds of green fields and running brooks? Anyhow, it ' s a name and it stands for a stately and dignified senior girl, who makes an excellent sub- ject for the dreams of the theologs. D(ANIEL) SOMXER ROBINSON, D. Somner Class Pres. 10; Philo, Pres. ' 08; Sandwich Club; Debating ' 06, ' 07; Orator ' 08, ' 09, ' 10. Indiana University Fellow. Daniel was a good old-fash- ioned name and just suited for a preacher, but during his wild col- lege days it was natural that one should prefer to be known by the more festive appellation of D. Somner. So it ' s D. Somner. ' He is Butler ' s famous near-orator, chiefly remarkable for his bubbling delivery and his steadfast decision not to buy a Drift. MAUDE BOSTON, Mud 1 Kappa Alpha Theta; Lotus Club; Girls ' Basket Ball. ' 06- ' 07; Director Orches- tra, ' 09- ' 10. Mud ' s nickname must have been given her by her infant broth- er when learning to talk, for one look will convince the skeptic that Mud ' s face didn t deserve it. (This is a nice compliment.) She has a peculiar, fascinating and soothing power in discourse — then she has other interests. And who would suspect it from one so nonchalant? MARIE AGNES TILSON, Tinsel Class Vice-Pres., ' 09; Lotus Club Treas. ' 08, Vice- Pres. ' 09 ; Collegian Staff; Drift Staff, ' 09. Marie is usually referred to as Tinsel, although a few of her friends call her Agnes. She is one of the most enthusiastic work- ers in the choir and ably seconds Lora Hussey in the rendition of the beautiful verses of Number Two. It is said that she is interested in young lawyers, generally and spe- cifically. ANNA KATHERINE MURPHY, ■•Mother Lotus Club, Pres. ' 10; Dramatic Club; Editor Senior Edition Collegian ' 10; Instructor in English ' 10; Drift Staff 09. Ann Katherine, Mother, or Lydia Ann, is Mally ' s sister, or rather Mally is Anna K. ' s brother. Talks, walks, and does everything else with the high speed gear on, the throttle open, the spark ad- vanced, etc. She is very fond of German as a study, and while a great favorite of the Pretzel-bender is suspected of having incited a strike. Found vent for her powers as ■ Mother in Esmeralda ' and made a hit. MONTA ANDERSON, Y. W. C. A.; Chemical Club ' 09- ' 10. She has been suspected of teaching school. One would natur- ally suspect a graduate of State Normal of doing such things. Any- how, she took a year off to come over and wrest an A. B. away from our unsympathetic and stony- hearted faculty, and she seems about to do it. LORA HUSSEY, Gussie Pi Beta Phi; PWlo; Y. W. C. A.; Lotus Club; Class Vice-Pres. ' 08- ' 09; Drifl Staff ' 09; Chapel Choir: Chorus of The Sky Scrappers. Of manner gentle, meek and mild — sometimes. ' That is what her friends say. To see her sitting in the choir singing the inspiring words of Number Two one would not even suspect that at times her resolve could be unshakeable. JOHN WESLEY BURKHARDT Sandwich Club, Pres. ' 09. 10; Y. M. C. A. John very seldom goes out in the dark. He can ' t. ' Cause why? Oh! guess. John belongs to the Married Men ' s Club, his wife be- longs to the Mothers Club, and they have a cow and all other ac- cessories. John is so modest that he won ' t even wear his cap and gown. FANNIE JULIA BRADEN, Fan Tan Drift Staff ' 09. The only girl in Butler with nerve enough to take a course in economics. Believes in Art with a capital A and spends most of her time at the Herron Art Institute. Draws from life, still life, paints in water colors and embroiders. OTTA RAY HANWAY, Otta Ray Y. W. C. A. (cabinet); Lo- tus Club. Otta Ray is said by the mem- bers of the Lotus Club to be an in- terlocutor of great ability. How- ever, a man would not be admitted to the black face performances of the Lotus Club, so we will have to take their word. MARY HANNA Philo; Y. W. C. A.; Lotus Club. Mary tried Oxford away back in 06, but it didn ' t suit her, so she came to a real school. She ' s not the only one who has done it, and to judge from her smile she is sat- isfied with the change. IRENE BROOKS HUNT, Dot Y. W. C. A.; Lotus Club; Philo; Drift Staff ' 09. Dot is said to have obtained her nickname from her chronic in- ability to arrive on the dot, — that ' s one story. Another goes that she was so pokey ' that they called her Polka Dot (pronounced pokey-dot ), and as that was too long to call her for short, they had to change it to Dot. Take your choice. CARL HARRY BARNETT, Father Delta Tau Delta ; pa Alpha ; Philo Club; Y. M. C. A. ' 07 ; Baseball Tau Kap- Sandwich Pres. ' 06- manager ' 07 ; Oratorical representative ' 07 Class Day Plays ' 06, ' 07, ' 08, ' 09, ' 10 ; Baseball team ' 04, ' 05, ' 07, ' OS. The father of his class. He came from Plainfield — or at least the catalogue says so, but it was so long ago that very few of us re- member just when it was. ROBERT JAMES McKAY, Bob, Mary ' s Lamb Sigma Chi : Philo ; Dramatic Club, Pres. ' 07 ; Class Pres. ' OS; Basket Ball, Capt. ' 07: Tennis Team. doubles and singles ' 07, doubles ' 0 9 ; Foot Ball, Capt. ' OS; Baseball: Drift Staff 09; Senior Scholarship ' 10. Besides all this Bob has been on nearly every athletic team and orchestra, and yet he has devoted most of his time to campustry. He tried Westminster for one term, but it was too far away from Green- field, for as a lady s man, Bob is the most consistent in Butler. Bob is a mighty good fellow — don ' t for- get it. GRANVILLE FRANK POWERS, Billy Philo, Pres. ' OS, ' 10; Sandwich Club, Pres. ' 10; Y. M. C. A., Pres. ' 0 7; Intercollegiate Ora- torical Contest, ' 08 ; Class Treas. ' 10 ; Treas. State Ora- torical Assn. ' OS ; Manager Baseball Team ' 10. How or why on earth a person with, such an imposing front name as Granville should come to be known only as Billy is a mys- tery. Once in a while he does a funny stunt in chapel, but his chief claim to fame is holding of the standing broad grin championship. His grin is of the kind made cele- brated by the Quaker Oats Com- pany. ALONZO ALBERT HARTLEY, ■ Lonzo Phi Delta Theta; Y. M. C. A.; Football 07, ' 08, ' 09; Class Track Captain, ' 10. ' Lonzo was the veteran center of the team that beat Wabash, and his graduation will leave a hole in the line that will be hard to fill. Always a steady and dependable, if not spectacular player, ' Lonzo has held down his place against men who considerably outweighed him. Off the football field ' Lonzo ' s chief ambition is to be as little conspicu- ous as possible, although once in a while compelled to recite. BARCUS TICHBNOR Philo; Lotus Club. One ot those gentle violets, modest, tender and true — and as she rather objected to being inter- viewed, this was all we were able to find out.

This organization has a twofold purpose since it offers both social enjoyment and training in journal- ism. Almost without exception itb members intend journalism as their life ' s work and essay to make it truly a profession. At the beginning of each year a program committee is elected which proposes and executes most of the work for the year. Monthly meet- ings are held at each of which the club is addressed by some successful editor or prominent journalist. Follow- ing an informal discussion of some phase of newspaper work the next thing in order is a feed. The Batler Press Club is a member of the Indiana Association of College Press Clubs. The officers of the club are Fred E. Shorte- meier, president; Bloor Schleppey, vice-president and Benj. Reach, secretary-treasurer. Membership is by election. THE SANDWICH CLUB THE SANDWICH CLUB is an organization of the young men of the College interested in moral and spiritual questions. It is composed principally of ministerial students and has one object— the securing of positions for the young ministers. The Club meets on the first and third Fridays of each month of the school year. At meetings a lunch of a substantial character is served — hence the name. The program of each meeting usually consists of an address by a prominent man on some church question or a sermonette by one of the members of the club. THE second oldest organization of Butler has a membership of some thirty students. Meetings are held weekly on Tuesday evening in the Philokurean Hall. Subjects of current and liter- ary interest have been used in the programs. Many enjoyable social functions have been given. The Alumni banquet has been changed this year to a reunion luncheon to be held on Class Day. THE LOTUS CLUB The Lotus Quintet T HE LOTUS CLUB is a purely social organization and its main purpose is a jolly good time. All the girls of the college are eligible to membership. During the past year the meetings have had delightfully varied programs, the most important being the minstrel show at the home of Miss Seward. Many profes- sional jokes and end man stunts were given. The club is governed by a committee consisting of two seniors, two juniors and one sophomore. This committee, with the faculty advisor, has complete charge of the programs, meetings, etc. The officers for the following year are: Advisor, Miss Allen; Seniors, Sidney Ernestine Hecker and Flora M. Frick; Juniors, Mattie Empson and Melissa Seward; Sophomore, Pearl Wolf. THE CHEMISTRY CLUB THE CHEMISTRY CLUB was organized during the present school year. The object of the club is to give to members of the chemical depart- ment of the college a detailed knowledge of some phase of applied chemistry. To carry out this end, papers are prepared and given by the members along lines of general interest. Addresses have been given by H. E. Barnard, State Chemist of Indiana; A. B. Davis of the Indianapolis Gas Co.; F. B. Wade of Shortridge High School; H. A. Schwartz of the National Malleable Castings Co. and A. D. Thorburn of Pitman-Meyers Co. The club is open to all members of the chemical depart- ment of the college who are interested in the science of chemistry and its practical applications. BUTLER MALE QUARTET Robert Hamp Benj. Keach Herbert Schmid Paul Ragsdale BUTLER MALE QUARTET is a new departure of the college. Up 10 the past year various attempts were made to organize a Glee Club but owing to the great number of other student activities the project was never completed. This year the material was at hand for an excellent quartet, and early in the fall the four chosen ones got together for rehearsals. Later in the term they were sent to represent Butler at the Centennial celebration of the Christian Church at Pitts- burg, Pa. The trip was very successful and enjoyable and served as a great advertising feature for the college. After its return from the east the quartet made several trips over Indiana giving entertainments, singing at conventions and otherwise spreading the fame of Butler. QC Q QC UJ _l H D m BUTLER DRAMATIC CLUB THE Dramatic Club is distinctly an active organization. It has as its sole purpose the giving of plays, the choice of which is determined during the first term in each year. This year the club gave Esmeralda a comedy in four acts. They appeared in Irvington and at Greenfield. The play was a success in many ways, the proceeds enabling the club to manufacture a complete set of scenery. Beginning with next year the Dramatic Club will occupy the old Lotus Club Room. ' Esmeralda CAST.

DEBATE AND ORATORY Our debaters were highly successful this year, maintaining the standard set by Butler ' s former representatives. Having finished champions of the Tri- angular Debating League, composed of Butler, Earlham and Wabash Colleges, we entered this year into triangular debate on the same plan with Ohio State University and Miami. The home team which met the Ohio State trio won by a unanimous decision, while our visiting team lost by one vote. Next year we meet Miami on our own ros- trum. Somner Robinson. Butler ' s representative in the State Oratorical, captured fourth place in a hard-fought contest. He has been our representative for three years, and has been a tireless worker in both oratory and debate. wJi 1 THE JUNIOR CLASS Flower — White Carnation. Colors — Green and White.

Each year the teams excel those of the year before. However, the development has not been equal in the several lines of athletics, and as a consequence we have this year football and tennis teams of the first water, basketball and track teams of a less worthy character and a baseball team of poor quality. That Butler has some of the best athletes in the State or Indiana can not he doubted. The number of boys supporting the White and Blue is small, and it is owing to their superior ability that Butler takes a high rank in the inter- collegiate athletics of the State. Internally, much credit for the success of athletics is due to a wide-awake and progressive athletic committee. This committee is composed of two mem- bers of the faculty, two students and the coach ot the prevailing sport. Through the work of this organization the scholarship of the athletes has been raised, student support has been secured, a faultless financial system has been adopted and sports for sport ' s sake have been permanently established. Wabash hits Stonewall Hartley for a one yard loss The football season of 1909 started off with a rush and was crowned with victory. Call for the first practice was issued the second day of the fall term, but a week or so elapsed before the full turn out was secured. A second team was or,2,anized early in the season and the success of the varsity was in no little degree due to the lively £crimn:age practice with would-bes. The first game of the season was with Winona Tech on October 2. and as usual there was some anxiety owi ng to the fact that both teams were un- known quantities. The kick off and three minutes play gave us a touchdown — Che rest was easy as is told by the score of 25 to C in favor of Butler. On October 9 Franklin gathered herself together and with a host of Frank- linite supporters undertook the mighty task of chastising the White and Blue prodigies by defeating them at Franklin. Bitter was the thought in the minds of our • ' hard shellerl friends, of the previous year ' s defeat (18 to 0) and the noble Thomas boots from behind his own goal, third chance to score Wabash loses her Franklin Game. Cully has not had a single kick blocked during his college play warriors to the south were well resolved on vengeance. But also, as much as we hated to do it, we could not do otherwise but take the game by a score identical to that of 1908, 18 to 0. One victory only encouraged the taste for more. Hanover came next. Slie too had an old score which she wislied to settle up by administering a liumiliating defeat to the Butler University boys. But generosity was a scarce article in the local camp and in spite of the feeble, pleading attempts of the river-rats, Irvingtonian hearts grew hard and strong and excepting a touch-down on a fluke the visitors did not get a look-in. Final count 23 to 5. The schedule brought Earlham to our classic suburb on October 23. The day was rather cool as were also the spirits in the home camp. Word had arrived to the effect that Earlham had recuperated since the previous defeat and had strengthened her forces by the addition of several new men. The truth of the statement was vindicated on the field. However Butler was pre- pared, and cheered on by Have you heard the story from the quartet the invincibles crossed the Earlham goal for a touch-down. The game ended Butler 6. Earlham 0. Sparks spoils a touchdown for Franklin Showing Earlham one of the fine points of the game On October 30 the first game of the season at Washington Park was played with DePauw. The local aggregation was severely handicapped by injuries to five or six of the best players. The game was hard fought and resulted in six Butler men being taken off of the field with injuries. We finished the game with six substitutes in the lineup. DePauw won by 12 to G. One week later, November 6, we played Rose Poly at Terre Haute and again met with defeat, 12 to 6, simply because the regulars were too battered up to play. The game was started with the regular lineup but had only been in progress a short time when several of the fellows were compelled to leave the field because of their old injuries. The same trick was repeated at Cincinnati on the loth with the exception that some of the worst injured were not permitted to enter the contest at all and all the fellows were urged to save themselves as much as possible. The re- sult was Cincinnati won 22 to 0. Only one more game remained and that was with Wabash on Thanks- giving Day. The two weeks intervening between the Cincinnati trip and the turkey day game were strenuous in the local camp. Bob McKay who had been out of the game all season on account of injuries returned to his position at quarter. The other cripples were put under strict care of a physician so by the fateful day the boys were able to move around though by no means en- tirely well. In the meantime Coach McKay had been secured to assist Coach Gipe in perfecting the team work. At last the day arrived. The team was taken to the Denison for lunch and a short rest. Short talks by the two coaches completed the preparations. The game was called and the test was on. It was one of the prettiest, most interesting and scientific contests ever played at Washington Park. Butler ' s defensive work was great and it was her ability to take advantage of the weak points in Wabash ' s playing that won the game. The result 12 to shows the strength of Butler ' s 1909 football team. This victory gave Butler third place in the state, Notre Dame occupying first and Indiana University second. Captain Thomas was certainly worthy of his position. His fame as a punter that cannot be beat has spread to all the colleges of the country. Thomas and Staggs were given positions on all state teams and some of the other players received honorable mention. The names and general lineup fol- low: Leech and Stiffler, ends: Thomas and Templeton, tackles: Staggs and Batton, guards: Hartley, center; Grier, Pavey and Townsend, halves; Stew- ard, full back: McKay and Badger, quarter. a TENNIS St Tennis is undoubtedly the sport in which Butler excels all other schools of the State. A number of excellent courts, contact with champion tennis play- ers who come to Indianapolis, a system of spring tournaments, and a keen in- terest of the students in the sport, all contribute much to the success of the White and Blue in this recreation. For three successive years Irvingtonians ' have held the State champion- ship in singles, Nate Rose taking it in 1908, Cullen Thomas in 1909 and 1910, This year our team, Cullen Thomas and Robert McKay, took the championship in doubles also. The State tournament for 1910 was held at Greencastle. Seven colleges were entered, viz: Purdue. Indiana, De Pauw, Earlham, Hanover, Franklin and Butler. Dale, of De Pauw, who won the I. C. A. L. championship, was winner up in singles, but Thomas defeated him in the straight sets, 6 — 4, 6 — 4, 6 — 3. Pur- due was winner up in doubles, but Thomas and McKay took them into camp in four sets, 6—2, 6—2, 1—6, 6—1.

Material was scare, two of the 1909 team having left school and no one entering capable of filling the two vacated positions in the excellent way in which the old members had done. The season opened after two weeks of indifferent practice with a game with Indiana State Normal at Terre Haute on .January 21. The outcome of the game was in doubt, because the local team was not only an unknown quantity but the players had not been permanently settled in their positions — and for that matter did not become settled during the entire season. How- ever the individual playing of some of the team brought victory our way with a score of 25 to S. Contests between DePauw and Butler have always been of the most lively sort. So it was with a slight revival of interest among the team and student body that the quintet put off for Greencastle to meet the Gold and Black on .January 28. We could hardly hope for victory at that time of the year, be- cause bePauw had been practicing diligently since December, and had gained a good degree of team work. Besides all of her last year ' s team had returned and v ere holding down their old positions. DePauw won 32 to 28. On February 4, the annual oratorical day game was played with Hanover at the Marion Club in Indianapolis. The game was ragged and uninteresting from first to last. It was a walk-a-way for Hanover. Not ' because our boys did not work hard, but rather because they did not work together. Also they were playing under the difficulties of having substitutes in the lineup. 23 to 3S tells the story with Butler holding the short end of the score. The next game was at home with Indiana State Normal on February 12. This being the Prst game of the season in the home gymnasium, the team was seen for the first time in a game on a floor with which it was acquainted. The game was rather rough but some good individual work was done resulting in a victory for Butler 38 to 1-5. On February 9 the quintet journeyed on a northern trip going to Notre Dame. Victory could hardly be expected especially en the notorious clay floor of the Catholics. The first of the game was by no means a walk away for the Irish but the second half witnessed a spurt which was far beyond the power of the Butler five to stop. The final count was Notre Dame 49, Butler lb. Wabash at Crawfordsville on February 18 was a repetition of the Notre Dame defeat. The team was in no condition. Positions were switched, but to no avail. The guarding was absolutely weak and because of this weakness, team work was im])ossible. As usual the points which Butler might pile up depended on the individual playing of three or four fellows. Butler lest 19-.55. Interest was dying out. Practice was becoming more irregular and ragged than ever if such could be possible. The student body had apparently for- gotten that the basketball season was still in vogue. But with the true Butler spirit the faithful few fought on in the face of defeat. Next came Hanover at Hanover on February 22. We were defeated 31 to 53. From the score one can easily deduce the fact that there was some good forward playing but poor guarding. Two more games remained on the schedule. DePauw and Rose Poly, both at Butler. Rose Poly cancelled their game, leaving the final game to be played with our lively rival. DePauw arrived here expecting to repeat the trick of .January 28 but the local team revived and downed the Methodists to the tune of 27 to 21. This score was significant in two ways: it tied the season with DePauw and made all the games on the home floor victories for the white and blue. These two facts are very gratifying to Butlerites and do much to sooth the disappointed spirit arising from the poor showing made during the rest of the season. CO H o c = c W i O 1 £. c+ - n : = CO cr ?r crc3 « 73 t SS BASEBALL Since the introduction of track and tennis teams, Butler ' s baseball stock has been rather low. Owing to the size of the student body it is impossible to support track, tennis and baseball teams in the same term and put the time on each which is necessary in order to turn out successful teams. Baseball was formerly a strong point in the local athletic circles but of late years i t has assumed the character of a spirit which is permitted to survive because of precedent rather than because of its present merits. This is however, not true of Butler alone. New and more vigorous games are more and more attracting the attention of the college world and baseball is suffering a corresponding loss of favor. Eleven games composed the 1910 baseball schedule. The first two, Wabash arrt Earlham were cancelled on account of weather conditions. The third on the list was with State Normal at Butler on April 28. We had been unfortu- nate in that we had not had the practice coming from actual contests. Never- theless a clean game resulted and though we were defeated 6 to 12, our fel- lows did their best and that is suflBcient. DePauw at Greencastle on May 6 was the next on the program and again we went down in defeat 9 to 0. The team was showing considerable improve- ment so the following game with State Normal at Terre Haute on May i:J was not such a walkaway for the opposing team. Although Normal won 3 to 0. our fellows played by far the best ball they had displayed during the season. From that time on interest began to revive. Preparations were made to defeat DePauw in the next game which was to be played at Butler on May 16. The game started favorably, Butler scoring in the first inning. DePauw revived and Butler plodded on. The last half of the 9th inning found the score 6 to 4, DePauw leading and Butler at the bat. A short series of plays and the bases were filled, two men were out and Casey at the bat. Two strikes, three balls and just then the man on third was caught napping. The game ended 6 to 4. On May 21, Butler played Wabash at Wabash and was defeated 9 to 4. On the 25th Moores Hill came here for the first athletic contest ever held be- tween the two colleges. We were rather dubious over the outcome of the game especially since the new foe had so recently defeated Franklin. The first inning brought three markers for Butler, while Moores Hill went out on three pitched balls. Butler won 12 to 2. Three games of the schedule remain to be played. We hope to win all of them but that is nearly vain especially since Notre Dame is one of them. We do feel though that our boys will do their best and even though they do not win, they will be an honor to the school. The remainder of the schedule follows: June 3, Moores Hill at Moores Hill: June 6, St. Viateurs at Kankakee: June 7, Notre Dame at Notre Dame. TRACK AND FIELD Track athletics at old B. U. are on the boom. That does not mean that our teams defeat all the others — it merely means that the sport is gaining in favored support. Track work was revived here last year, and, considering the very short time of its existence here, it has made wonderful strides. That Butler has some excellent track aihletes there is no doutt, and a year or so hence will see one of the strongest teams here to be found in the State. The season of 1910 was composed of three meets. The class meet on April 22 was very successful in that all the classes entered every event. Great in- terest was manifest, and this event bids fair to be one of the most interesting contests of the year. The Sophomores won with 33 points, the Freshmen taking 32 points, the .Juniors 26i and the Seniors 241 . The above results are significant in that they show the increase of track material entering school, each Freshman class containing more thinly-clad artists than the one preceding. The second meet was with Wabash on Irwin Field, April 30. Some good records were made in the weight events and sprints. Kingsb-ury, of Butler, took the individual championship. Wabash won the meet, 63 to 41. On May 28 the team went to Greencastle, where they met De Pauw in the last contest of the season. Thomas, for Butler, took the individual cham- pionship. Butler won nearly all of the weight events. We took first and sec- ond in the shot put, broad jump and discus throw. De Pauw was strong in the track work, especially in the distance runs. The final tally was: Butler 46, De Pauw .58. It is interesting to note that in all the meets of both seasons, 1909 and 1910, Butler has secured the individual championship. Roberts took it in the triangular meet, 1909; Kingsbury in the Wabash meet, 1910, and Thomas in the De Pauw meet, 1910. Manager Keach FEMALE FOOTBALL HE wind v a s blow- ing a per- fect gale across 1 r - w i n field, taking a de- cidedly cold and westerly turn, as the two teams trotted onto the field. No time was lost in preliminar- ies. Referee Empson flipped the coin and Captain Hubhard won the toss, choosing to defend the north goal for the Kappas. Captain Reed, the doughty Theta fullback, kicked off to Kirkpatrich, who advanced the ball five yards. Martin went through on a skin tackle formation for ten yards. Hub- bard made a spectacular gain at quarter for fifteen yards. Hendrickson fum- bled the ball on a delayed pass, but regained it on Kappa ' s twenty-yard line. Hubbard attempted a forward pass. Bragg broke thi ' ough and intercepted. Reed tell on the ball. A new ball was put in play on the Kappas ten-yard line. Pruitt, Kappas ' speedy end, downed Thayer on the fifteen-yard line. Scott intercepted a forward pass and carried the ball for twenty-five yards. Bragg made a long flying tackle. Two minutes taken out for Scott (also two teeth). By a series of end-around plays, quarterback runs and forward passes the Kappas seesawed down the field, the half ending with the ball in their possession on the Theta three-yard line. With the first sound of the whistle the Thetas seemed to play with something of their old-time snap. Booe received the bouncing pigskin, and with Captain Reed, Thayer, Bragg and H. Reed for interference, plunged straight down the field for twenty-five yards. With a series of line plunges through guard and tackle. Reed and Bragg placed the ball on the Kappas ' four- yard line. Kappa held for downs. Hubbard was forced to kick. Brown hav- ing sprained an ankle earlier in the game. Hendrickson followed the ball and recovered it when fumbled by Booe on the catch. With a clear field, Hendrick- son sped down the gridiron, running in old-time form (cheers from the bleach- ers). placing the tall between the posts. Score: Kappa 5, Theta 0. Hendrick- son failed to kick, the ball hitting Boston and seriously disabling that plucky player. Baxter substituted for Boston. Reed kicked to Brown, who was downed in tracks by Ryan, the fast Theta end. Hubbard dropped back of the line to punt, but was downed by McHatton, who broke througn, thus scoring a safety. The ball was kicked out from the twenty-five-yard nne and received by Barr, who advanced the ball three yards. By consistent line bucking and irresistible formations. Bragg was shoved over for a touchdown. Reed, who up to this time had been kicking in pleasing form, was roundly cheered when the ball was put in position. The tall rose and soared for the goal posts, but when ithin ten feet of the tar suddenly dropped to the ground. Examina- tion proved that it had been punctured by the mighty toe of Captain Reed.

Kappa made most of its gains through Thetas ' left tackle. Bragg had some trouble finding shoes to fit before the game. Hubbard was lost twice, once behind a goal post and one behind the ear flap of a headgear. Some delay was caused when Hendrickson failed to keep up with the Ijlays. Thayer played in perfect form.

(Enter Ell a, coming upstairs.) Dodo— Who is it, Ella? Ella — Mr. McKay, to see Miss Montgomery. (Exit.) Dorothy — Oh, never mind, girls. It ' s Bob come to see Mary Mont. I know it ' s ' •een a long time since he has been here, but you can ' t hear a word he says from the stairs, you know. (Exeunt chorus. Slam doors.) Dodo (to herself) — Well, I didn ' t expect Ken, but I thought maybe he might come around. Dorothy (sarcastically) — Oh! you didn ' t expect him, but you thought he might come. Huh I (Mumbling sound from behind one of the closed doors.) Ruth — Oh, people! What is that noise in Mattie Empson ' s room? Dorothy — She and Ethel Bennett are learning Hi-Lee, Hi-Lo, to recite in German tomorrow. Rm;h — Oh! isn t it awful! Last week they had to learn Ach, du lieber Au- gustine. They say the new German prof gives just awful lessons. Why, Mattie Empson says she ' s wearing to a shadow. She has to eat just heaps and heaps of Hearshey ' s Chocolate. She eats that because it says on the wrapper that it ' s more sustaining than meat, and she says she just can ' t stand to eat enough boiled ham to get the strength to keep going. Gertrude — Andy Leitch said the funniest thing about the German prof yester- day. Ruth — Oh! what did he say? Gertrude — He said, Kohler drinks macaroni like he was eating soup. Ruth — Mattie Empson says that Louie Kirkhoff don ' t do anything in German but sit and look at the Queen of Irvington. He must have a pretty bad case. Dodo (ecstatically) — Oh! how he must love her! Dorothy (sarcastically) — For goodness sakes, Dodo! You fatigue me, to say the very least. Dodo — Well, I don ' t care wha t you say, you horrid thing. I know he does.

Gertrude — Oh! but speaking about nicknames, I Dorothy — Who said anything about nicknames? Gertrude — Can ' t you let a person change the subject in a tactful manner ' ' Speaking about nicknames, I think it ' s awful to call Claude Kassebaum, Percy Cheesetree, just because he has a dog named Percy that looks like him. Dorothy — Some people don ' t like to hear the new German prof called Herr Brush, the Pretzel-bender. They think Tweedledum or Tweedledee more appropriate. Ruth — Dickie Moore don ' t like his name, either. He says it sounds too much like a canary bird. Gertrude — Let ' s see. There are Achin ' Paine and Uncle Job Hall, and Hopeless Chris and Blood-cell Bruner, and Hirsute Johnson Dorothy — Have you heard the latest about Bonnie Adams? Well, one of the boys went to say that Bonnie acted like a bloated bondholder, and he said it wrong. Now it ' s Bonnie, the bloated blond (e) holder. Ruth — People, 1 think it ' s just terrible to call him a thing like that. Gertrude — I know a new one on Miss Mclntyre. I wrote it down just after she told it. (Rummages in a book which she has been carrying.) Here it is. (Reads.) Once when Miss Mclntyre was a little girl and she was asked to do a sum in arithmetic, she became confused and drew a picture of a man on her slate. Ruth — Oh, tell us the joke. Gertrude — Oh, you want everything perfectly obvious, do you? Perhaps you want me to tell you about something like the exodus of Dona and Gaynelle on the day of the comet. Ruth — Why, I didn ' t know about that, either. Gertrude — Ruth, I am surprised at you! (Scorn.) Go ask some normalite. Dorothy — Say, that reminds me of an original song on the subject of norma- lites. It ' s called A Lesson in Ideais, or Who Opened Up the Gate. (Comes down stage.

HO-AND WHY SERIOUS AND FRIVOLOUS FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT AND NEAR GREAT In Ms youth he used to sing in the Cherry Orchard Quartet. And it was probably in this blossom-scented tower and rose-chistered garden that he learned to spell the secret of the world. Here he hobnobbed with the soul of Beveridge and with the dic- tionary. Here each little day he brought his book of synonyms and his well-worn copy of that speech of Beveridge whose flowery eloquence our hero compared with the natural flowers and found them lacking. When Shorty goes to Wasnlngton he will miss the dewy cast and sentient fra- grance of the little flowers, but with the burning image of his ideal ever scintilating in his brain and piercing his flesh and very soul, he shall rise through the cold gray gleam of the dawn of a revolutionized Republic, and his voice, clarion and Napoleonic in its mastery, shall ring through the land — nay, throughout all nations — and shall herald right and justice, the divine and supreme ruler of our city. And baby lips shall whisper of his an- cestry and his claim to kinship with the Senator who bore the world upon his shoulders, and far into the night echoes of his fame shall be wafted to heaven and angel choruses shall sing the glad Te deum, Schorte- meier — then Beveridge. THE HALL OF FAME. Society ' s youngest and most modest children visited the Methodist minis- ter. That good dignitary, who was ex- pecting a blushing couple to be mar- ried at about the same time, insisted upcn performing the ceremony. Fal- teringly. Hazel attempted to explain that it could not be. Alonzo, the si- lent, stammered unintelligibly. Both blushed violently. The minister in- sisted. Hazel remonstrated and stamped her dainty foot. Alonzo sud- denly come to his own, escaped through a window. Hazel sighed, and the minister murmured, Almost per- suaded. Prof. Coleman stepped hastily into a downtown tonsorial parlor and asked for a shave. During the process the colored barber made two or three of those slips ' with the razor, much to the consternation of Christopher. The causative factor of the damage could easily be explained by the in- ebriated condition of the barber. When the good professor benignly (?) stepped from the chair he remarked to his friend, stroking his bnused chin, There, you see the effects of drinking. Yas, sah! boss, interpolated the barber, dis heah boozin ' business sure will make a man ' s face tendah!
