WAS THE FIRST OF THE SEASON
A KEG PARTY ON THE GOLF LINKS FRIDAY NIGHT.
And Another on Porch of Row land's Store—Relics of Campus Party Advertised.
"These eups were left on the golf links by THE KEG PARTY Friday night. The owners may have them if they will take them down."
These were the words on a sign which, appearing high up on the south bulletin board of Fraser hall this morning, gave publicity to an open-air drinking party which was held on the campus Friday night. Suspended from the sign were two bright new tin cups.
An early golfing party Saturday morning saw evidences that there had been the night before a revel of the sort that made Milwaukee wealthy. The two tin cups were among the trophier gathered up by the players.
The debris which they found scattered over the ground south of McCook field did not come as a surprise to some of the golfers. Several members of the party who live near McCook field had listened the night before for several hours to sounds of unwonted hilarity out on the campus. The sounds began about the time when good students are supposed to be putting in their last licks on the lesson in Chemistry II for the next day. Just before midnight a burst of melody that would have put the senior law choral society to the blush was wafted across the street car tracks through the windows of dwellers near the campus. The melody kept coming for a couple of hours.
One man who lives near the campus took a look at the field the next morning through a glass He saw through the haze that filled the valley a group of men busily engaged in gathering up what appeared to be bottles. A little later he strolled over to have a look at the scene, and there saw enough to convince him that the commotion of the night before had not been with out ample cause.
Not bottle remained, it is true; but in the soft sod of the green was a circular depression which showed beyond doubt that a keg had nestled there. All about the circle the sod had been trodden by many feet. Semingly the keg had had some sort of fascination for the revelers. And one side of the circular depression where the keg had stood was much deeper than the other, showing that it had been tilted up as the bystanders coaxed it to yield up the last drop of its contents.
The ground nearby was strewn with bits of crackers and cheese which apparently had comprised the more solid elements of the feast. There was evidence also, that the stomachs of some of the feasters had revolted against even this light repast.
The two tin cups were objects of considerable interest to the students in the main hall today. Up to a late hour this afternoon there were no claimants.
D. L. Rowlands was fighting mad Saturday morning when he found the porch floor of his book store littered with corks, labels, metal caps, and other evidences that the place had been the scene of a drinking party the night before. Mr. Rowlands intends to prosecute the offenders if he can find them. He said this morning that he had a pretty definite idea of who some of the unwelcome visitors were.
