Not so hig, hut oh, hoy! don't try and put anything' over on him. Tough as he is he is a true gentleman, and well-liked hy all. Capt loc watches over him like a hahy, and so does some fair maiden hack in good old Cincinnati. George was a eo-captain on the hoxing squad and his line spirit and courage- ous hoxing aided greatly the morale of this team. Fighting in the ll9-pound class he would train down nine or ten pounds every week, and then hop into the ring and hatter some foe down in one round. 'Tin Plead is a first sergeant of the highest degree, his famous For lluty Today was the cause for much good natured kidding. His grunfness was only a false front, for he was everyhody's friend, and was willing to help in any way.

Bud, quiet and unassuming, is a demon on the tennis court and a perfect gentlemang however, he seems to have an Odd appetite, since he likes his milk flavored with alum. Bud came to us making noises on a drum and continued to beat his way up to a lieutenancy. Not to change the subject, but llud is quite a lady-killerf' roping' them in one week only to drop them the next. He is changing now though, having been disappointed in love fwe think that is itj, but we can't understand why he is continually down town on leave. Maybe he hopes to fmd a true love in the Arcadia.
