Rilph Pedersen, son of Kev. and
Mrs. Pedersen, who is attending the
University of Washington, writes
interestingly to his parents, under
date of September 25, in part as follows:
Dear Folks at home:
There is so much to write about that
J don't know just exactly where to be
gin. So many things have happened in
the last few davs that mv head is
in a whirl and it is hard to remember
one tiling from'another. The big event
was the annual tie-up, and that I will
■ describe first.
Every year it is the custom of the
Freshmen and Sophomores to contest
1 in three games to see which ot the
1 under classes is supreme, that is in
! physical strength. These three contests
are, the ^annual tie-up, Fresh-Soph
| football game, and a push ball game.
! The annual tie-up came oil last Friday
! night. It was noised about during the j
week that every Freshman was to up-1
' pear at tlie central depot at 1) o clock
o! this night, there we would organize, |
i be supplied with rope, and ride up to
'the U. of W. stadium in special cars,
i There we were to make a bon fire and
wait with folded hands for the Sophs
! to come and attack us. We were to j
i catch the Sophs, tie them up and throw ;
them into the bon-tire. The Sophs j
were to do the same with the Fresh
men, if possible, and throw them into;
a bon-tire which they were to build.
* When we met at the depot, we were
surprised to find that about a third of
our Freshmen were missing. After
inquiring around about these missing
ones, a few Juniors volunteered the
information that they had seen a hunch
of Sophs going about in the afternoon
in autos, grabbing every Freshman
they could find and spiriting them
away somewhere. We found out from
some graminer school boys that they
had seen some Freshmen taken to an
old deserted soap factory at the edge
of Lake Union. This was enough for
us. We got in our special cars and
went for that soap factory. Sure
enough, we found a mob there, fifty
Sophs were on guard, but they were
nothing. Two hundred Freshmen of j
us picked up those guards and tied
them, hand and foot, in no time.
Every door and window was boarded
and nailed up tightly, but a railroad 1
happened to be close by, so we picked (
a 20 foot steel rail and battered in
those windows and doors in no time.
Next the two hundred of us poured
into that building. The old building
began to shake and tremble, it was
pitch dark inside, and as we had the
guards tied up, our- leaders thought!
it best that the majority of us pile out!
becauseof our own safety—the building I
might fall down. This we did. The
Freshmen leaders searched the three
story building and found about 150
Freshmen. All of these were tied |
hand and foot, and 98 in addition were ;
placed heads in stocks. The Sophs had !
had these 98 stocks made to order and i
they were all full and a bunch more
of Freshmen there also.
Maybe you thihk there wasn’t some-1
thing doing when that hunch got tree.
With 350 Freshmen we were able to do j
anything. We proceeded directly to
the stadium, built our bon-lin*, and i
impatiently awaited the attack of the i
200 Sophs. At about 12 o’clock they |
came. All were in marching order
and in lock step and made a brave ap
pearance. At a given signal they:
broke ranks and made one desperate
gasp to tie us up. Now the fight was
to last 20 minutes, but at the end of 15
there was not another Soph to tie up. |
Those which had not been tied made
one desperate etTort at getting away. |
We piled those Sophs twenty deep,
hands tied behind their backs and feet
tied with heavy rope. They yelled
and squirmed for mercy, but no mercy
was given. After the Freshmen were
declared the winners, we formed the
grand parade and marched home to the
tune of “Halleuh, we’re the Fresh
men.” The Sophs went home the
back way, dragging their tails behind
them. That is victory No. 1 for the
Freshmen. I might add that there is
1000of U9, including the girls. I was
tied up for about five minutes myself,
hut was soon rescued bp some Fresh
men. I helped to tie up seven Sophs.
