FRESHMEN OUTNUMBERED 3iore Than 125 Second Year Men and Women at Annual Banquet, Which Troves to be Entertaining Affair.

Seven or eight Sophomores picked up the Freshman bodily and started with him to the Hoffman Hotel, as a prisoner of war. The capture an excellent excuse for the Freshmen to rush the Sophs before thsy reached the hotel entrance and, although a number of Freshmen made single-handed attempts to release their the yenrlings wero rot properly orjranized- to rush the Sophs and recover, hostage. The Freshman, kicking, fighting and biting as he was taken into the lobby of the hotel, was given a lecture and allowed to go.

More than 125 second year students, among them 15 to 20 co-eds of the Sophomore class, were present at the annual banquet, which was delayed a short time while the hostilities were going on outside. With M. E. Glatfelter, president of the class of 1926, iri the toastmaster's place, the blessing was called for from E. W.

Baker, a member of the class. After partaking of a baked Virginia ham the 'Sophomores entertained by roasts from Mrs. Henry W. A. Hanson, Dean P.

M. (Continued on Third Page) Dr. Cadman Urges on Students A Full Life, of Self Sacrifice Will Go A Long- Way Toward Making Better Politics, Morals And Religion, He Is Full Of Second-Raters, Such As Henry Ford, New York Clergyman Asserts. LADIES' NIGHT IS ATTENDED BY 175 Annual Function of Union Encampment Proves Big: Drawing Card. TO LOYSV1LLE service f' themselves in an endeavor to make iht- country better, religiously- politically and morally, was urged upon the student body of Gettysburg College in an eloquent address by the Rev.

Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, of Brooklyn, New York, at Brua this morning. Alter expressing a fear and citing concrete, examples to imprest upon hLs hearers that America really was losing much of its moral fibre, Dr. Cadman called upon the College students to become the bulwark of sacrifice and service, which-will eventually, he said, bring about the salvation of the country and its constituents.

Dr. Cadman's appearance at Gettysburg College was brought about through rhe ofrorts of the president, Dr. Henry W. A. Hanson.

The New- York clergyman is speaking in Harrisburg tonig-ht, and is one of a number of nationally-known figures, who have appeared-in the Capital City and in Gettysburg during the past winter. Brua Chapel was crowded with students, co-eds. Seminarians and Acade- mians to hear the noted pastor. In his address. Dr.

Cadman referred to the Battle of Gettysburg as a monumental example of self-sacrifice in an -effort to settle once and for all time a great national issue, but he declared that he would like to see erected on the field a memorial to the mothers who bore the soldiers of the North and of the South who fought and died here, and who rendered a still greater sacrifice than those who fought here. "America." he continued, "is filled -with so many second-raters, until Henry Ford has the temerity to have his' name mentioned as a possible candidate for president. i- The greatness of a nation is its power to create great spirits. Out of the eighteenth century which wa? filled with rottenness, corruption, lilth and licentiousness, there came men. like James Fox.

Edmund Burke. Goeihe. irhiik-r, Waihir.gt'.T.. Jefferson, Adams and Frar.kLn. "Svt jour hearts arianie on a ide-al and give your lives to the Almighty.

Too much importance is placed upon political This country of ours was not founded upon political expediencies, but upon a desire for religious Men of the type of W-iJliam Randolph Hearst, Mayor Huyler, of New York, and politicians connected with the Tea Pot business in Washington came in for a scathing indictment at the hands of Dr. adman, who added that it was the business of the young men in togooutinto the world and clean up the meases made by organization built upon political foundations to the complete exclusion of rc-ligion. Moral qualities depend not alwi.ys upon numbers. Dr. Cadman asserted, and ofticies the majority will be- lifted to new heights by one person or by the minority, citing as an example the self sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The visiting clergyman touched, briefly on the quarrel going on in the church between the modernists and fundamentalists, saying that the terms fundamentalist and liberaiist were like rubber-necki. He the students to allow their manhood to expand under the influence of a great ideal of sen-ice and self sacrifice "beyond yourselves and by so doing- you will make better men of yourselves, be of inestimable value to your country and to your God." Intermingled with the rich philosophy of life which he gave his hearers Dr. Cadrr.an kept a running fire of wit and humor, which frequently caused laughter so hearty as to interrupt his remarks for several seconds. Dr. Cadman was introduced by Dr.

Hanson. after Dr. M. Coover, of the Seminary, read a passage of scriu- ture and delivered an invocation. The visiting clergyman pronounced the benediction at the close of the chapel service.
