Letters, and English exam

much but on Market St. at the ferry depot the street cars made considerable racket.

I asked a condutor which car to take and he told me all about it. I got aquainted with that fellow sitting behind me in the train comming from L. A. and he proved to be a traveling Englishman on his way home by way of Canadian Pacific R.R. We played cars that night till about 10 oclock and then went to bed. It's hot stuff traveling I wish I could travel all the time.

I am in a fine family here. It reminds me of home. There a piano downstairs but I don't know who plays it. Good bye.

I went to see the rush between the 98s and 99s last Saturday night. Well, I kept out of it and its a good thing I did, because there would not have been enough of me left when I got out for you to recognize as Emil Knecht. It was the nearest thing to a battle I ever saw.

The 98s assembled at the Gym. and the 99s at the base ball grounds. About quarter of eight, when it was pitch dark the 98s formed in line and marched to the ball grounds. The 99s then lit a big bon fire so that you could see a little. The 99s also formed

in line. You can imagine the yells and whoops that accompanied the attack. College yells were ringing out every minute.

The minute the two classes met they began throwing each other down and the one who succeeded in over powering his adversary would tie his hands behind him and also tie his legs. Well this lasted about an hour and a half. Then the 99's began to become fewer and fewer until about 100 men were tied up and layed in the weeds.

They were then carried to a fence and a photo taken. (flash)

Buses were then hired and they were taken away. Some were taken to a lake a little

ways off. Others were taken to Redwood City and some to Mayfield. The Junior class helped the Freshmen quite a good deal. A band of Juniors stopped the buss going to Redwood City, cut the horses loose and rescued the loud Freshmen. The boys taken to the other places did not get home till very late. There were quite a few that were hurt. Two fellows had there legs broke, one got his head cracked; one fellow got three ribs broken and I heard that one fellow got his collar bone broke. Of course nearly everbody had their face hurt.
