emi HE ANNUAL sofa-pillow cA fight between the elevens of Wellesley and Vassar will probably take place late » in October in some neutral dor- mitory, probably either that of Smith or Bryn Mawr. Since the passage of the new rules . governing this interesting game, forbidding the secretion of bricks in the pillows, it is no longer considered either a dangerous or an unladylike sport. The objection of parents to the prevalence of athletics at our universities will probably be overcome at Yale this year by the adop- tion in the curriculum of a regular course in athletics with which none of the courses of study shall be allowed to interfere. It has been the injudicious mixture of the two groups of learning that has made all the trouble in the past, and beginning with the opening of this year Yale will divide her classes into those seeking the Y and those | seeking the Why. They will be distin- gu shed from each other by their sweaters. | Hazing having been declared unsports- manlike by the authorities, it will no longer be encouraged in our best colleges.

With the closing of the baseball season, it is interesting to note that the various teams of the two big leagues will be kept together during the winter in a series of spelling bees to be held in all the home cities. The first contest, which will be held in the Harvard stadium between the Boston and Chicago teams about Thanksgiving time, bids fair to be most exciting, Dr. Lowell having consented to serve as umpire at the home plate, with Dr. Hadley, of Yale, in the outfield. Professor Matthews was to have umpired the first game at the Polo Grounds, but with the barring out of re- formed spelling under the revised rules he became ineligible in a game in which errors count. Several contestants having sustained seri- ous injuries in practice, the hundred-yard hobble-skirt dash has been eliminated from Barnard College field day by order of the faculty committee on athletics at Columbia. There is much disappointment among the students over this decision, especially as one of the contestants had already made a prac- tice record of three hours and twenty min- utes over a slow course. The new football rules are giving general satisfaction, although some objection is ad- vanced by some of the elevens over the rule DON QUIXOTE UP-TO-DATE. “CHESTNUTS IS CHESTNUTS.” Editor—* Why this is nothing but a collection of stale horse-show jokes '' Comic artist—'' That's just it. horse chestnuts.
