Freshmen Fizzle At 2nd Riot Try

The freshmen tried again, and once more they failed to produce a riot. At about midnight, a group of students set off fire crackers in the Yard, and as proctors poked their heads out of doors, the freshmen set off for the Commons.

Thirty made it through the gate at the north end of the Yard, and an equal number squeezed through a gap in the fence at the corner of Mower after the gate was closed. When they got to the Commons, the freshmen didn't know what to do, so they yelled, ran, and played hide-and-go-seek with the police. Bursars cards were taken, and the would-be rioters skulked back into the Yard through the hole near Mower.

Even less intrepid freshmen remained in their dorms and sang "Down with Burris Young" to the tune of "We Shall Overcome," for no apparent reason.
