NOVEL EVENTS PLANNED
Rivalry Intense Since Freshmen
Wish to Keep a Clean Slate
After Earlier Victory.
Leaders to direct the freshmen
and sophomores of the University
in their struggle for underclass
honors Friday and Saturday will be
elected today. The first year men
will assemble at 7:30 o'clock this
' evening in the ballroom of the Un-
ion while the sophomores will meet
at 4 o'clock this afternoon in room
35 of Angell hall.
The captains elected today will
each choose a staff of assistants to
organize completely the class and
to develop class spirit. Rivalry at
the games will be intense, it is be-
lieved, inasmuch as the sophomores,
who met defeat for the first time
in their class career last fall, will
be out, for revenge and to secure
a majority of wins in underclass
competition.
Nine Events Planned.
The freshmen, likewise, will turn
out with" "blood in their eyes," in
an attempt to keep their slate clean
with the hopes of achieving, by the
end of next year, an unblemished
record of four Victories, iL goal that
was last attained by the class of
1930, now about to graduate.
The underclass games will consist
of nine events, five in a water sport
program Friday afternoon at the
Huron river and four in a field day
Saturday morning on South Ferry
field.
Two new events, canoe races be-
tween'picked crews from each class
will start the traditional battle Fri-
day afternoon. Two tugs-of-war
between picked teams of 50 each
will follow these events. The final
competition of the afternoon will be
a tug-of-war in which all members
of the two classes will participate.
The first four events will each
count one point and the latter two
points, making a total of six points
for the afternoon.
Saturday Games Named.
Saturday morning's activities will
begin with an obstacle race, and
continue with a cane spree, and
pillow fight, all of which will be
fought out by picked members.of
the classes. The final event of the
games will be a "hog-tieing" con-
test for all freshmen and sopho-
mores. The first three events will
each count two points, and the last
three points; bringing the total for
the two days' competition to 15
points. +.
