Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Delta
is the chapter at Worcester POlytech-
mic Institute. The above figures are
the results of a little football game at
the Oval yesterday afternoon in which
the Harvard boys swooped down on
their hosts like wolves on the fold OF
course it was a purely social and
fraternal game but It's sociability was
trenuous enough to recall to mind
Minister WI Ting Fang's recently ex-

The "softness" of the players was
Ievident by the time it took to recuper-
ate after each scrimmage. Mcfarland
of Tech carried under his sweater a
suspicious looking black bottle, and at
leach earnest cry of water, water" he
would hurry to the thirsty player. This
bottle excited the apprehension of the
Ionlookers until the players were seen
to take a swallow and proceed to
squirt it out in approved football fash
ion. Then it was apparent that the
contents of the bottle was really aqua
lpura.
The first touchdown was made by
ILongmaid on a pretty double pass
which fooled the Worcester fellows.
The punt out was missed. Rogers made
the second touchdown with a run of
