football games booked for Novem-

at American League Park. The
other is with the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor, according
to the schedule of the Wolverines
made public today
Owing to the extremely friendly
feeling between the Marines and

found to have the Leathernecks
play both games, but not on the
same day. Georgetown is trying
to rearrange it's 1923 schedule. If
successful. the Marines may play
here on October 6.
Failing to make this shift the
FIilltoppers may insist upon the
fulfilment of their original con-
tract calling for game with the
Marines here on November 10.
Boston College will play its an

stead of in Boston. The change
was announced today by George

The magician was especially
well received; his lemon trick and
the disappearing and reappearing

The story teller was another
lacking nothing for support. His
anecdotes were turned and twist

present, increasing the laughter
and the gayety.
But the big noise of the even

little fiappers in dances and songs.
And when those girls came close
to the seats and sang their songs
right at this lad or that-a VERT
able roar went up, matching in
clamor the increasing redness of

Then the evenings entertain

Mckinney, as we climbed into our

On the way home we wondered
whether we would write anything

conclusion. But We finally de-

let other folks know that in the

proves that beyond argument.

"Hello, Charlie" would burst
from some young fellow as a new
conner came into the comfortable

with half a dozen before he could
say a word himself.
It was one greeting after an

young men were in the building.
1t was not unlike the annual meet

some college class about five

was manliness and strength in
the greeting.
