At a recent meeting of the cabinet
of the Y. NJ. c. a. il was decided to
combine the Northfeld and Socia, and
Handbook committees into one. The
purpose of this step is, that several
entertainments must be given i'll order
| to raise sufficient funds to send
| large delegation of students to the
| Mortified Student Conference, and
| the combined committees will give
| stronger working force. Ernest Il.
Cole u who was chairman of the
Handbook committee. will be chairman
| of this committee. Ernest c. Mariner

| Hardy "A, George w. Perry IA and
Robert II. Bowen Ia are the other

Great optimism among the entire stu
| dent body and alumni of the city Is be-
! ing shown in regard to the colby-Bo"-
| dom football game which comes, next
Saturday, at Waterville The fair show
ing that the team made in the Bates
game last Saturday, and the consistent
development during the weeks practice
are the grounds upon which this optim-
ism is based Captain Bagnall, who sur
fered a severe injury in the Bates game,
| has been on the field every day, this
week. but he has not been able TO run his
team. Quarterback Wier, who played
during the last part of the game, Satnr-
day has been in charge of the team, this
week, and without doubt he will be in the
game Saturday, in place of Capt. Bag
nall. Fraser and Pendergast have reeoy-
| cred from their injuries to a certain eX-
| tent that were received, Saturday, and
they will both be in the game. This aft
ernoon. at practice the second team did
excellent work. Pratt, Goldthwaite and
Rose in the back field were hard propo-
sitions for the Varsity. Several times
the ball went to the second team on
downs Crossman, Royal and Priestly,
