 Monday night the degree team of the Grange conferred the third and fourth degrees on a class of eleven. Every officer, every member of the degree team and every candidate was present for both meetings and all four degrees.

FOOTBALL OUTLOOK
IS STILL COMPLEX
Harvard Shows Effect Of Haugh-
toms Return to Coaching staff

Harvard was put back on the foot
ball map as a result of a fairly easy
victory gained over North Carolina,
a victory that was little less impress
sive than the one scored by Prince
ton over the same team a week previ-
Gus. Moreover those who were ready
to count the Crimson out of the big
games, because Of the defeat in the
game with Tufts, are now rather in
clined to regard the 1916 gridiron
situation differently since it took the
best the Tiger team had to send the
Medford team back home, losers by
the frafl margin. of a field goal
The one thing that can be learned
from the results Of the Eastern games
on Saturday Is that the situation is
so open that 1t is impossible to pre-
dict at this time which of the big
eleVens will come out on top of the
heap. Yale, playing against Lehigh,
a team that held the Blue to to
score year ago, had the stisfactinl

cllnch1ng the game with two touch
downs. That was as good as ex-
pected, if not as good as hoped for ov
the sons of Old Eli. The only team
In the big group that showed posi-
tive weakness was Pennsylvania, and
1t is evident from the outcome of the
contest with Swarthmore that some
thing is radically wrong with Bob Fol-
wells pupils. Before this game
SWarthmore was considered weak, yet
by the use of the deadly forward pass,
the Garnet was able to score a touch
down and keep its own goal line in
tact from the assault of the Red and
Blue. If the big fellows are due for
more reverses this season, except in
their own set, it appears that they
may be brought about by the medium
of either Cornell or Dartmouth. Both
of these teams showed great offensive
power. Cornell making AZ points
against Williams and Dartmouth
burying the Massachusetts Aggies I'M
der the score of 81 to 0.

Eli Line May Be Altered.

New Haven, Oct. 16.-No injuries
which will keep single Yale PLAYER
out of the game next Friday with the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute were
received Saturday against Lehigh.
Traver Smith, quarterback. received
a slight bruise on the knee, but he
will return to practice in day or
two. 90 He has won clear title to his
position through brilliant field gener-
alship, and his work Saturday easily
eclipsed that of Chenoweth, the Le-
high quarterback
In preparation for the game Friday,
only single change is contemplated
by the Yale coaches Charley Taft
it is felt, will prove a more valuable
player at tackle than at center. ana
he will this week go back to that po-
sition as first substitute. 1t is ex-
pected that John Callahan, who bega1
a month ago as first string center, will
resume scrimmage today He has
been shelved by an injury.
Another plan which the coaches
have discussed is that of giving Rex
Hutchinson the 190-pound fulIback, a.
trial at center. He has not adapted
himself to the team play Of the Yale
backfeld, and Jacques has easily won
first string selection for the position.
Aside from center rush, it is doubt
full whether another change will be
made in the Yale lineup during the
remainder of the season. The nov
city of a Friday game will be tried
at Yale this week for the first time.
because the Yale Bowl has been
turned over for use in giving the
Yale Pageant next Saturday,
