In reply to the taunts of a large band of sophomores which congregated in front of Grays and Matthews last night, a number of freshmen assembled to prove the superiority of '92 by cheering. Finally, as this sport became rather monotonous, and as honors in yelling the class cry were evenly divided, the sophomores resolved to put matters to a final test by a rush. In the meantime the freshmen had collected in force and not only drove the sophomores back but carried on decidedly vigorous offensive tactics. The sophomores, surprised by this burst of energy, fell back and reformed their line. Another rush then took place, but it was so dark that when the opposing forces became mixed it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe. The whole affair was finally ended by each class marching around the yard and cheering wildly. The outcome of the rushing, such as it was, resulted in the favor of '92.
