FRESHMEN WIN RUSH

The freshman class, although still an unknown quantity behind the anonymity of six inch green caps, first made itself conspicuous by an abortive raid on the Nugget a day before most of Hanover had realized another college year had begun. The yearlings apparently learned to work together, for four days later they faced the sophomores on the campus in the annual football rush, captured a majority of the footballs, and earned the privilege of taking off their green caps while in the Nugget.

With still more than a week before the Norwich game, football is holding its own with fraternities as a dominant interest. Increasing numbers of students watch afternoon practice, although opinion as to Dartmouth hopes is still pretty much a matter of guesswork. The World Series can be depended upon to soon popularize local radios and to vary the steady diet of football gossip. The Hanover reaction to the political campaigns should be interesting to watch, and Spain and Hitler receive an adequate share of campus attention. But when all is said and done, Holy Cross, Brown and Columbia do not play in Hanover every year, and as the season gets under way there is little doubt as to what will soon become the chief topic of conversation at Dartmouth.
