Prior to this fateful water-cure on Friday, the F reshmen had some taste of the second year men,s ability to hold their own in a rough and tumble battle. Some fifty shirts succumbed the festivities following the first Freshman meeting, which suddenly ended in a midnight bath. So it went all through the entire week before the F riday for settle- ment. Legs and faces were smeared freely with red paint, to obliterate the greenness. Songs and yells and stories all added to the amusement of the Sophs. . However, Friday of the rush, the Frosh were undaunted believing that the class of Twenty-six was as the proverb goes just 6tLouzy Sopho- mores? T hey knew better at the end of the day. Their first awakening came when twenty-five of the choicest from each gang vied for honors in the tug-of-war. Experience told because twenty-five Frosh were pulled into the hose awaiting the loser. The next event of the afternoon was the water-oure in the form of the Royal Tank Rush. The event was a fight for superiority in rough neckness. If the speed in which the lowly Sophs did their duty indicates anything, they are a rough lot. Details of the rush: On one side Husky Rothschild led the Frosh . and on the other Tiny Osborne attempted to make their respective teams strive for Victory. Osborne with a system, told his men that the job must be done in nine minutes. Therefore, when the gun sounded the pace was set and in eight minutes and fifty-nine seconds the last forlorn lad with a tt27ii on his back gave a faint cry, ttGive iem hell, feed iem bricks, California Twenty-sixf, Gurgle, and the day was a Sophomore day spiritually and physically. The reception during the afternoon was followed by a milder one that evening in the form of a Frosh mixer. A11 ill feelings were cast aside. The upper classmen exemplified to the new men what this institution stands for, and what California Spirit is, and, foremost, that the Freshmen are welcomed into the student body of the California Aggies. f411-

Smokes for the occasion were donated by the local stores who says they were not appreciated? Mr. Forrest Plant, an old California graduate and an ardent backer of the Aggies, delivered the ttpiece de resistanceal and heightened the interest with a story about a man who t6shot off his face? Captain Klingaman responded for the team and Manager Avery gave us a line on the worries of a football manager. - A Basketball Smoker Rally was held on Febru- ary 14, under the direction of Rally Committee Chairman Howard Burnett. Christensen,s Orchestra had been procured for the evening and delighted the assemblage with strains of harmony. Mayor Ander- son told us what the Aggies meant to Davis and how he liked to see the old Aggie Spirit at its best. Captain VVetmore spoke for the team which was to leave in the morning to play a two-game series with Nevada. He stated that every man was out to win With all the fight he had in him. At the conclusion of the Rally things looked blacker than tta nigger shoveling coal at nighth for Nevada. If there is one thing to be remarked upon in summing up the years work, it is the splendid co- operation between the Rally Committee and the Campus Public. But there is more than one thing to be remarked upon. For instance there is the ushering job at all the games, the reception of visiting teams, the inciting of a large turnout to assembly, and last, but not least, the distributing of smokes at the Smoker Rallies. All these things have been done and well done by this yeafs Rally Committee.
