The Inter-Class Basket Ball Tournament. Backward, Turn Backward, time, in thy flight, Make me a Junior, just for to-night. To buy crutches for our Athletic Association, it was decided to have a tournament between classes. Two games were to be played on March 28, and the winners and losers of these games were to play the next Friday, April 4. Two pennants were to be awarded, one for. the actual winner, and one, since the Seniors were sure to lose that one, for the best conducted team. The prog- nostications were that the Juniors or Sophomores would get the first one, with the Seniors running third, with the conduct pen- nant mortgaged, and the Freshmen just running for their health.

He reluctantly accepted it and took it to a dark corner and went to sleep, using it as a pillow. The Freshmen became aroused at this and sent a representative to obtain the ball. Dedricks gladly gave it up to the courier and escorted him back to his team-mates. Here he was treated kindly, given an ice-cream soda, pineapple flavor, and sent back with many presents to the Seniors’ abode.
