Many Captured in Organized Rushes Preceding Their Banquet.

The class of 1911 held its freshman banquet in the Armory on Sat- urday evening. The banquet was preceded by a series of organized rushes between the freshmen and sophomores on the Armory green. These rushes were conducted on the plan adopted last year, when they were introduced, with the approval of the faculty, as incidental to the freshman banquet. The faculty had forbidden the banquet in the preceding year on account of the disorder and danger attending the sophomoric custom of capturing freshmen and keeping them prisoners. The rushing began about two o'clock in the afternoon and continued for two hours. Parties of fifty freshmen were lined up successively on the north side of the field, an equal number of sophomores facing them on the south side. At a signal the freshmen ran for a goal line on the opposite side of the field. All who failed to reach it and were captured and held by the sophomores were taken to Barnes hall and "decorated" by their captors. They were paraded about the campus after the CAPTAIN E. L.
