A Correction.
Some weeks ago representatives of Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi entered into an agreement for playing the inter-fraternity championship games of 1901. There was no stipulation as to date, excepting that all games were to be played before Thanksgiving. Lots were drawn and the Phi Delts and the Sigshosen to play first, the Betas to play the winner. As no time earlier
PARLIAMENTARY FORM.
ARTICLE XIII.
The question to whom the championship of 1901 belongs is now in dispute, and the Sigma Chis feel that for the satisfactory settlement of the matter, a game is due them.
