basement storeroom adjoining a room being used as a meeting place by
Si,gma Chi Sigma fraternity.
The probable cause <Jf the fire was a faulty furnace and a gas leak
in t·he unventilated basement.
Smoke and gas hampered the fire
fighters to such an extent that
four firemen including Captain
John Dreher of Hook and Ladder
Truck 3, were overcome. Two, Mr.

balls remained unplayed in
one of the pinball machines.
One of the balls had been
cocked into the channel. but
