two o'clock
The wind howled and shrieked dismally , and to venture out meant to nurse frozen ears as a result of facing the blast . But neither wind nor weather frightened the enthusiastic basketball fans . With knitted and fur caps pulled down over their ears they gallantly braved the storm . Even the majority of the faculty were in the front seats that had been reserved for them and by two o'clock every available inch of space in the gallery was filled . The sophomore colors of blue and gold mingled with the red and white of the freshmen colors in the decorations that were displayed lavishly about the gymnasium . The faculty , too , wore the colors of their respective favorites , while the president of the college held two immense bouquets , one of red , the other of yellow roses , showing that he at least was impartial . On each side of the gallery a group of girls stood ready to lead their respective classes in the basketball choruses that are sung solely With the object of urging the teams on to deeds of glory .
