Discovered-A Samaritan Spirit
on Our Campus
Behold! 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

REMARKABLE POLO GAME
Matchless skill and fearless riding
were the chief characteristics of the
Polo game which took place on the
campus last week. 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.
