COLLEGE NOTES.


Gossip of the Campus and Dormltories. |
Last Thursday night the freshmen
held dance in Masonic hall for the pur
pose of getting better acquainted. The
sophomores, too, thought they would
like to meet the freshmen girls, and so
turned out in force. They did not find
the door open, but climed in thro' the
transom. However, it was then neces-
sary to meet the boys, after which, the
''sophs" were not really presentable.
Later the sophomore girls came up. The
hail proved to be too small for both
classes, so the sophomores were kind
enough to go away. For all of the gal
liant spirit of the freshmen, who were
there, the victory was gained by the
"sophs." But where were the "sophs"
Monday night? Some persons broke in
the door of Peachs room and made
general disorder of things in that suite.
The sophomores held class meening
Thursday morning in the chapel, in
which Stewart was elected president.
The appearance of Prof. Burt, however.
brought the meeting to speedy close.
Rev. Nathan l.. Nichols, '66, led the
chapel exercises last Tuesday.
More enthusiasm has been shown in
the football practice since the Norwich
game than any previous time this season,
and it begins to look as if Middlebury
would have team. Monday night
Spies, the old Columbia athlete, was out
on the field assisting coach McGrail in
handling the squad. 1t looks some as if
the New Hampshire State boys would
find the game today more than a
practice" game.
Stevens, the new freshman, is filling
the place in the back field left vacant by
r. Fisher. His work in the Norwich
game was of the highest order.
Saturday the Varsity played the Nor
witch University team at Mortified and
won through hard work by Il score of
12 to 5. The game began with Norwich
kicking to Middlebury. The ball was
kicked beyond the goal line and Middle
bury punted from her % yard line. Nor
witch got the ball on her own 80 yard
line and proceeded by strong line buck
ing to take the ball toward Middlebury' S
goal. In about five minutes of play they
had the ball on the one yard line. Here
they were unable to gain, and the ball
went to Middlebury. In her turn Mid
dlebury carried the ball by line PUSHES
I'D the field to about the 20 yard mark,
where she, too, lost the ball on downs.
Norwich again took the ball to within a
e.. Of ha w pn
held her for downs. However she again
failed to make her distance and Norwich
took the ball. By concentrating their
strength against right guard and tackle
she pushed the ball across for their only
touch down. They failed TO kick the
goal Norwich again kicked to Middle
bury. Stevens carried the ball to about
the % yard line. The game was fierce
and even for the rest of the half, and
when time was called Middlebury had
the ball in the middle of the field In
the second half Norwich kicked to Mid
dehurv. This half, like the first, was
nearly an even thing. But by repeated
: live plunges and tackle plays, Lovejoy
carried the ball across the line for Midd's
first touchdown. Vaughn kicked the
goal. MIDI then kicked to Norwich and
on trick got the ball near the center OF
the field. The ball was kept going
towards the Norwich goal. where finally
Stevens carried the ball across for an
other touchdown. Again Vaughn kicked
the goal In the last part of the game
Midi was tearing thro' the opponents
line, almost anywhere, for five and tel
yard gains.
The line up was as follows:
