How kind of the Lambda Chi's to recall that snowball epic.

Fijis did indeed initiate that running battle by attacking Phi Mu, which used to be across College Ave. After being caught off guard, the Phi Mu's needed to vent, so we joined forces to attack ATO - a slaughter, I might add.

Some ATO's joined us and we proceeded up College Ave. picking off targets as we went. One memorable moment for me came as we paused to catch our breath across the street from Phi Eta and Jim Chaplin, pitching ace for the Black Bears baseball team, was challenged to chuck one of his best at Stodder Hall, a dorm about 40 yards away.

​Jimmy packed a ball, wound up, and followed through with a beautiful stride.  There was a hushed pause as the crowd watched the building, the only sound the falling snow.  Then a large window on the third floor exploded. A cheer went up from the snowy warriors and the attack recommenced on the next house, probably Kappa Sig.  A fine time was had by all - except for the guys (I think Stodder was a men's dorm then) who lived in that dorm room.

“What if the space be long and wide,
That parts us from our brother’s side

A soul-joined chain unites our band,

And memory links us hand in hand.”

(Phi Gamma Delta fraternity song)
