Those about the center pole were not kept long in waiting, for it was here that the sophomores concentrated their first attack. They came from opposite directions, and after a fierce contest which raged for 8 minutes a sophomore rose out of the struggling mass and scaled the pole for the flag. This won, the sophomores turned on the west pole and by rapid charges crawled over the green topped domes of the helpless freshmen and the flag was lowered within the small space of 3 minutes. All efforts of both sides then became centered on the east pole, but here again the jubilant second year men were successful within 4 minutes. This left the freshmen windless and at the empty end of a 4 to 0 score, but the Cane Spree was yet to take place. This developed into a close and hard fight, but the sophomores could not be defeated. Draws were called in the case of six canes, but out of the remaining twenty-four the sophomores wrestled away thirteen. This added one more point to the sophomores' total, and the freshmen had little to smile over when they exposed their tattered shirts to the photographer before Hill Auditorium.
