This mire accounts for the slow time turned in by the boys. First on the program was the 100 yard dash. Garrett James harei ly pulled ahead of a highly com petitive field, turning in 210.7 lime. 30b Creagan, Belt, and Jim llzmnah.

The next event, the 880, was won hv Ed Johnston, a frosh Alpha Sig. lie also came in first in two other events to become high point man. Ed crossed the line 2:57.? minutes after the gun went all. Don Eekstrom, Delt. pushed the winner all the way but missed the needed step to win. Bill Plengey, Alpha Sig, finished third. Ed .l‘ohnston came right back and took an easy first in the 100 yard low hurdle, timed at 212.6. Dick Larson, Bill Logue, Triangle, followed in that order. Bob Creagan, Delt, came through first in the 220 in :25 flat. James anrl‘llannah were forced to come in two, three. lValiace Highest. Charles Wallace, Triangle, took an easy first in the high jump with a leap of 5 ft. /1 in. Charlie has a had knee from his younger years but this did not bother his high jump style. Bill Suthers, Belt, and Larry Mcflill, Triangle. tied for second followed by Dick Larson and Dick Taylor, Phi Kap, another tie. Bill Plengey showed his stamina in the mile run. Not only did he set the pace but he finished far ahead. Clare Udell. Delt, second and Eldrid Koenig, Phi Kan. third were the only others that lasted the stretch. The winner was timed at (3:08. The unbeatable Johnston came back to win the 440 at 1:00. Again Eckstrom pushed him all the way. Michel Coccia, Alpha Sig, pulled down third. Allen Leaps to 18 Ft. 1 in. in the field events, Howard Al len, Alpha Sig, took an easy first place with a leap of 18 ft. 1 in. James and Suthere tied for sec- ()l’lil. Bob French, another Alpha Sig, threw the iron ball 34 ft 6 in. to take first. Bill Deiters, Belt, and Howard Allen followed in that or- der with their heaves. Bill Suthers had a tough time winning the discus. It was not until the forth throw that his mark of 92 ft. 9 in. was reached. All the boys had a tough time in the rather small ring, but Dieters and Anderson, Alpha Sig, placed sec’ and and third, On Friday morning those speedy Alpha Sigs took the relay, thus making them king of fraternity track. This placing first in ath- letic events is no new experience for the Alpha Sigs. They have taken first in swimming basket- ball, and are now in the finals for softball.

The sophomorea tool: the Rush by virtue of the Mind counting of the Junior Mar, ahals. it seems as though the Junior Marshals had not yet re» covered from their bender of the previous evening. They counted 12 total of 6 points for the soph- cinema and only 1 point for the freehmen. The freshmen, expecting that the sophomores would get grey hairs waiting on the campus all night, decided not to come down until the time of the rush. At approximately twelve-thirty the freshmen met at the prearranged elevated platforms. The south-side group met on the 58th street plat- form while the north and west side group met on the State and Dearhorn platform. At exactly 1:15 P.2d. both groups left their respec- tive stations and they arrived at the 36th street platform from where they proceeded to Cornis- key Park. At Box Paris: the brave men of “44” organized and advan- ced to Ogden Field to show the boys of “43" what they were made of. The freshman morale was raised to a new high when they saw a group of Lewis men who helped a great deal in giving the sopho- mores the beating of their lives. The fraternity men also gave a good showing. Sophs Unfair When the Greencaps entered the scene of battle, they immediately saw that the sophomores weren’t going to meet them on even terms. The sophomores did not want to fight like men. No. They had to use underhand methods such as an assortment of rotten fruits and vegetables, sacks of flour, and nails to tear the many bags that the freshmen took from them. But; these unfair schemes were not enough. They also had a reserve of about ten sand bags which they drew forth born the field house as soon as the hostilities opened. ‘ Fronts Fool Supine lifter the freshmen and sopho- mores; heat the daylights out of each other, they organized the des~ traction of the upper classmen. Here. was a real blitzkrieg. Junior and senior pants were hanging from every tree, lamp post and building; in a short period of time. The third and fourth year men met their superiors in the fight that took place. Wielding a fire hose, they tried to hold off but they were overcome and nearly drowned with their own hose. The mall may seem to be over, but the thought of the fun will live iorever. For the sophomores, the class rush activities began Thursday night. The boys, about twenty. slept all night at school—4n vari- ous places. Their anxious waiting went unrewarded an the uncoop- erative freshmen put in a good night’s sleep. Had some unsus- pecting freshman turned up, he would have ended his journey a long way from Chicago. As the sun arose on Friday morning, the sophomore army in- creased. Full strength was reached at 9 o’clock. With noth- ing to do. some went to sleep, some watched the pageant, while others stayed in the cafeteria. During the morning the sophs enjoyed freedom from competition in the greased pole and pie eat- ing, contests. So it was, the sopho» mores took both of these events. It is a preposterous claim that the sophomores had any extra bags. Everything was on the up and up. How could any one ac— cuse the unknowing second year men of any such debauchery? At 2 o’clock a mad howl was heard coming across the tracks. Yes, it was our little yearlings coming up for slaughter much like the calves in the stock yard ramps. And so it was, the calves were slaughtered all one hundred and fifty of them, and in ten short min- utes.

Twenty juicy blueberry pics, all in a row—«and each ten inches in diameter-“with twenty hungry mouths poised nervously above them. Oh yes, two eyes and a none were attached to each mouth «and also got their share of plan later. A nervous little puppy, bark- ing hungrily at the appetizing smell of the pies, also managed to get in on the scene, for the class of ’43 somehow made con- nections with this little fellow as a mascot. Each time he ran for a pie, however-«with his little clum- sy, puppy-feet slipping awkward- ly around in the newspaper that covered the floor—the stentorian yells from two or three of those mouths would frighten him into confusion, and he would walk tim- idly away from the scene—«only to yelp at the sight of those pics, when someone held him back. Fun Starts. “Okay, go ahead!” This remark from Head Marshall Johnny But- kus’ lips gave the group the high- ball, and each head dove into its pie—only to find, in most in- stances, that the nose beat the mouth to the scene, and managed to get a deeper grip into the situa tion. The pies had looked de- licious. but now there was purple blueberry from eyebrow to chin, and car to ear, combined with a chaotic sputtering of callow-look- ing pieces of piecrust temporarily glued to the scene, as well. Each face looked mauled to pieces~ when you could see it—for, de- spite their appearance, the faces were extremely active, trying to act as fingers, hands, and arms, as well as mouths.

For approximately lif‘ n mih~ utes, last Friday afternoo, Field resembled the fruit and try section of Maxwell stre lng through a session of internal feuding. Eggs of slightly ancient vintage, tomatoes that once saw their ripe old age pass into second childhood, and various other. spe~f (lies of assorted aged fruit Were the chief weapons of the oppressed and the peraeoutors, represented that glorious: afternoon by the freshman and sophomore class respectively. It was the annual class rush and the antipatliiee. grudges, and general ill‘feeling', that had lzieen smoldering all year, were brought to a sudden head at: the. class of ’43 outnumbered, three to one, played host to a stubborn green cap horde. "When the uni familiar objects had cleared from the atmo sphere over Ogden and the bags had been counted, the sophomores were declared the with more by a 6.1 score. Bunion-a Win. Of course, no one could really decide who the actual winners or the contest, judging by those who were still. able to boast of a com» pleto body-covering outfit. The son- iors and juniors combined . and braved the angry horde by Waving a smoking fire hone around at the egg hurling throng. While line control of the fire stream was questionable at times, for both the freshmen-sophomore and the inn- ior-senior squads had their turn at ”bat,” the number or under-‘ claasmen Who received the com- plete ice water bath far exceeded the number of “big shots" accord- ingly so fled. During the rush proper Dick Goat/ow, while under the infill once of some back-fired tear gas, worked the old gag with psdedo» tear streaming eyes. "‘Are you hurt?", the ever courteous m.ind~' ed l’rosh would inquire of Dickie, Whercupon Dick would nod his head, and pick himself up and commence to fight with another group and pull the same line. It worked, for Mr. Guetzow had his trousers on till the last ' Bags, Bags, Bags. Since the principle object of the rush was to get as many bags as possible from the center of the field and return them in one piece to the respective goal. The main fight usually centered around the bags, where they usually do any: way whether it’s in a rush or not. in these friendly little sorties, the experience of the sophomores was evidenced quite thoroughly as they wielded spikes and knives with great dexterity in order to rip the sand and hay loaded bags. It Ends Barely. When the final gun that official- 1y put a halt to the feudin’ yin Ogden was fired, the attentional the now brotherly freshmen and sophomores was entirely turned onto the juniors and seniors. Not many in number, the upperclass- men faced the impending blitz like , true heroes, using the hose as their only means of defense. Grad- ually the hosemen were forced to retreat. In the course of this great receding action pants flowed off and legs were bared with great rapidity. Finally, the gallant fif~ ty retired to the north entrance of Main, where they seized.- Ive Buddeke and commenced to strip him to bare essentials. Soon the entire fight focused at this new Dunkirk and the senior-junior trousered ranks were considerably thinned. As a grand and glori- ous finale, every one was forcibly made to accept a sans-pantscon- dition, whether friend or foe.
