Show Sophomores who eat bed-time lobsters, have nightmares about being dragged through rivers by hordes of contemptible freshmen. Last fall it was no dream. A courageous band of sophs, fighting to the last ditch-the Ogden River-finally let their old careworn bodies be overcome by the youthful, immature enthusiasm of the boyish freshmen, who had up to that time shown very little respect for their elders. After the brawl was over, the inconquerable sophs put on their good-loser faces and friendship reigned supreme.
