Merry-me—goodness! These houses that have their pledges make monkeys out of themselves on Monday nights out with laughers up with laughter at their pranks.
Lost night the Theta's pulled a little follow-up story by asking Betty Cole to arise at dinner and give 10 reasons why she asked or disliked Casanovas's methods. She, in reply, could only say that he had asked her for a little cooperation in the weeing at the Phi Pi gathering. But she didn't him any as she knew nothing what-ever about college life but yet that she hoped to learn.

A team of tigers', disputed players were transformed into a group of happy warriors within a few hours time yosemite Giants turned the tables on their Manhattan rivals, the Yankees, to win the fifth World Series game-5 in ten

Opposing Schumacher on the mound was Charley "Red" Ruffling but it wasn't Ruffing's day and the Giants got to him for five hits and three runs in the first inning.

He gave Pete Rose two saves and second double in the tenth and coupled with Bartel's sacrifice and Terry's long fly produced the game winning run.
The general attitude before the game was that the Giants would go down without a fight. They were lainst their workout, some of them even failing to take their batting practice.
