COLLEGE NOTES.

Everybody wondered on Monday
morning why President Thomas was
making the chapel service so short, and
they wondered still more when he said
that Physical Director Fisher had an
announcement to make. Their wonder
ment gave way to burst of uproarous
enthusiasm when Mr.. Fisher informed
them that some of the ladies of the
town were so well pleased with the
work of the team that they had ordered
twenty new Middebury football blan-
kets for the men. This was certainly
splendid way to show their appreciation
and there is no doubt that the men will
appreciate it.
There have been plans circulating
around the dormitories the past few
days relative to football game to be
played in the near future between
two picked teams composed of fellows
from Starr and Painter halls. Only
men who do not play on either the var
sity or scrub teams are eligible for
those teams.
Some of the men of the college are
certainly finding a splendid way to dis
pose of their spare time by conducting
some of the classes that the Y. NJ. c. A.
is carrying on for the benefit of for
eigners in Middlebury. Several classes
have been started and Mr.. Morhous
says that several more are in prospect.
The High school boys are planning to
organize a bible class for the winter
months, with college man in charge.
There is plenty of social service work
to be done, and any fellow desiring to
take advantage of the opportunity
should see Mr. Morhous or Mr. Ross at
once.
Now as the season advances and the
nights begin to get colder, all the fell
lows are beginning to talk about the
outlook for a good basketball season.
The Freshmen class has brought
large number of men who have been
STARS in their preparatory schools,
and it seems that the newcomers ought
to be able to put out team that will
make the other classes hustle to retain
their laurels.
Every fellow in college is saving all
his spare change for the Dist of Novem-
Der, when the team will make the trip
to Burlington to play their postponed
game with the University of Vermont. !
A h., Of fho bo,ra 10
clared their intention of being on the
scene that day, and every one of them
is confident that when MIDI. gets |
through with the L. V. NJ. fellows they
against team that can play football, !
and, play it to win. The prospects, |
however, are extremely bright for
victory.
A very enthusiastic meeting of the
Freshman class was held in the hemi
cycle one day last week. The purpose
of the meeting was the selection of
class colors and the appointment of
committee to order the class tocques
for the coming winter. After a spirited
discussion maroon and white were
chosen as the colors, and committee
was instructed to order the tocques of
the same firm furnishing the Freshman
caps The tocques have been ordered
and are expected to arrive in about
two weeks.
On Wednesday, Nov. 9Th, the Middle
bury college second team lined up
against the local High school team on
Porter field. The college fellows ex-
pected that they would have rather easy
picking, and so took things easy the
first quarter They soon found, how
ever, that they were up against foemen
worthy of their best efforts, for the
High school came very near scoring in
the first period. In this period English,
the college right end, dislocated his
elbow, and Drew was sent in for him.
At the beginning of the second quarter
Whitney replaced Drew, and Hard went
in at right half for Whitney. Final
score, 10 in favor of the college second
team. For the High school, Seeley,
Benedict and Epstein We're the stars,
while Hard, Grant and Ferguson starred
for the second team.
With five regular men on the injured
