PICKWICK1ANS-
Continued front pftRO one)
crson (thq chief exponent of tho
superiority of tho 'bluc-bnckodJ
spoiler" and tho unhappy causo
of yesterday's challongo) In mnk-
lng his arrogant statements In
chapel last Monday spoiled in-
correctly tho only word ho at-
tempted boforq tho student body.
This wovd "lncomproncnBlblllty"
Mr. Stovcns contends should bo
spelled with an "s-1 slh" rnlhpr
than with an "s-l-slgh."
Bro. Schug in accepting the
challenge mado tho provision that
"Competont judges must be pro
vided" thoroby eliminating tho
possibility of having faculty
members serve in that capacity.
Bro. Hobersdn was meek ns n
lamb and said never a word but
Bro. Cox In n statement made af-
ter Doc Schug's acceptance said
that while ho was positively non-
plussed by tho chnllengo ho was
"thoroughly In accord with tho
speech that Bro. Ilobeison made"
and that ho believes "tho faculty
has thq ability to tfutspell that
little hunch or Plckwicklans." Bo
that as It may como April Fool'c
Day our student body will have
tho chancq to see a showdown on
tho question of what tho .younger
generation is coining to and por-
chanco to see tho faculty and its
vaunted superiority go down in Ig-
nominious defeat.
