Only by special permission from the authorities will the repre- sentatives of the college publications be allowed on the field and even then such pictures must be submitted to the management for their approval before publication.

 A very interesting fact is revealed by this years freshman class statistics in the falling off of the high school representation to only 167 men as compared with 23o last year.

It is hoped that out of these new candidates four may be selected to successfully fill the empty positions in the varsity eight caused by gradua- tion. Appleton, McHenry, Rogers and Titus were lost by gradu ttion. Coach
 Nfckalls, ever since his return from England, has kept his men under
 steady drill every afternoon. This
