WILDCAT SCAMPER I-IE ANNUAL SCAMPER held just before Christmas vacation may not have been the best yet : but the crowd was far from dissatisfied. As usual, the big event and highlight of the evening was the Freshman- Sophomore basket ball game, in which the players wore gloves, and played with- out rules, although kicking an unconscious opponent was frowned upon. The grudge bout between Phil Herbert and Laverne Kesselring ended with Kesselring on the canvas in the middle of the iirst round. Frank Piluso put Dot Clements away in the first five seconds of their bout. These two fights were a big disappointment to the crowd. who had hoped to witness lots of slugging and bloodshed, McGrath was awarded a technical K. O. over Bill Louderback, for the latter had trouble with his knee and could not go on. Roy Lawrence and David Fillipe put on a good fight to a draw, as the open- ing event. Merton and Tobingson, Freshmen, won over Skelly and Durham, Sophomores, in the free-for-all, Durham being another K. O. victim. Hamburger and White, slightly inexperienced but willing, put on a wrestling match in which Hamburger won two consecutive falls. The fastest round of the evening was put on by Jack Rannells and Wesley' Hummel of the Chico High School: during this hectic battle Rannells received a broken nose and retired. Later in the evening Hummel took on Norman De Vol. Chauncey Wilson was the little fellow behind the megaphone and Ben Steffen refereed. Hap Miller put on a comedy stunt. flt really is too bad that Hap doesn't appear oftener in the guise of a lady, He makes such a charming one. Pleasantly plump and all thatlj

Over three hundred and nfty girls, including faculty women, were present, all gaylv dressed in costumes of every description. Many countries and different characters Were portrayed by the laughing, dancing, merry-making crowd. The program, which took up most of the evening, was enthusiastically received by the audience. The various clubs and organizations staged the follow- ing skits: Prodigal, a story of health, was put on by the girls of the Home Eco- nomics class. The faculty showed their usual ability in presenting Statues? , a portrayal of famous masterpieces. The Alpha Chi girls staged a Bowery pantomime called Frankie and Johnnie, with Maxine Forcum singing an accompaniment. The Shoemaker and the Elves was presented by the Candlelight Club in pantomime. The Lanternlight girls, wearing pretty gold and purple outiits, staged a clever drill. The Delta Sigma Epsilon presented Love Through the Ages, which traced love-making from the age of the cave man to the love of future days. The College Girls Christian Association gave a novel act entitled In the Region of the Stomach, stressing the fact that we should be more careful of our diet. Pi Kappa Sigma girls gave a burlesque of some popular songs, with a melody accompaniment sung by Orva Bybee. The dancing act put on by Delta Sgima was very effective. Following this, the Bidwell Hall girls staged a very creditable tumbling act under the direction of Misses Rockwood and Gocke.
