A champion of the fair sex has arisen from our midstl Adid who could it be? Jim Black? No. Cor (s Green? Gracious, No! Well, I know you will never guess. It is no otlier than our venerable and beloved professor, Dr. Josiah Morse. Oh, now, don't he so surprised. You know that Dr. Morse has always showed a kindly spirit under his satirical manner. Of course, somle of us rather doubt the truth of this sateient, especially if we liappen to be smarti.ng under one of his wise cracks at our expense, but we cm forgive hiu for much at that, when we hear of his defence of woman. le stited before witnesses (the Philosophy 7 class) that he completely sympathized with i ally young lady who was alot the recipient of masculine attention-or in other words. a flapper with a tea-hound trailing alcog. I Ic went farther to de lare that if any young lady in such a situation would apply to hin, that lie would do his darndest to provide her with the lacking quantity. Such gen erosity ! Such a spirit of noble altru isi ! Can Vou heat it? But wait ! Ile isn't the only one who feels a kindly pity for the much abused ;nti down-troddon sex. I hear (now, of course, this is only hearsay, but I hiI it frimi a fairly reliable source and one of the anused witnesses of the cm,versatimn) that our dashing fresh wa, who is universally recognized as the outstaiding vaip of the catllipus, wats talking to Oue of tile social cabi net meibers.

The game was re plete with thrills and there were but two casualties to mar the success of the (lay. Both teams exhibited wonderful abil ity and rare finesse. The playing of Ichabod Crane Vardlaw and Jessie James Lipscomb stood out for the Reds while Douglas Fairbanks Wauchope and Iar.iey Google Morse were the stars for the White-. Buffalo Bill Snowden played well for the Reds until he ran head foremost into the Maxcv monument. Bill was not hurt much. but the molument was completely de molished. Paul Revere Burney's shots were invaluable to the Whites mtil he mistook Iloot Gibson Currell's head for the pill, and gave it an awful crack; he was the-11 pot out of the game. This proved fatal to the Whites, for Bill Ilart Kennedy's powerful two-gun shots sooi gave the Reds a lead which the Whites were unable to overcome. Nla%y famous and beaut.iful pe,nies were used in the game; chief among them being the Old Gray Mare and Spark Plug. U.S.C. WHAT A DISTRACTION?
