ShutterButton: Penn Traditions Less Resilient Than Fling

Here we have one of the many Penn traditions that didn't quite stand the test of time. Presenting the Bowl Fight: an annual orgy game that pitted the sophomore and freshman classes against each other. It took place in the Quad in April, much like Fling! Only it was super violent. A couple of years after the Bowl Fight pictured (1914), someone died and they (appropriately) called the whole thing off. So please, sophomores, as you sneak past the tight Quad security this weekend to visit your old rooms, don't try to wrestle freshmen into bowls. We wouldn't want Fling cancelled, now would we?
