This has been their habit and it is a common sight. Miss ----, a society leader of that city, rides horseback, man-fashion, through the public streets; Miss ----, another society leader, promenades through the corridors of the State College in an officer's uniform, and the good people are not shocked at any of the escapades; but when it is proposed that bloomers be worn by the Institute team of Nicholasville in playing the basketball team of State College next Saturday . . . | - |
