strongest. Phi Delta Theta won the
championship last winter and the

championship game. Despite the fact
that these two teams are favored they
are not by any means safe because
Delta Epsilon and the Nom frat
teams have also gone through the
season thus far without a defeat. The
withdrawal of Zeta Psi from the
league has necessitated drawing a

play in the contests this week.
The series illness of Charles o. Ide,
editor-in-ch chief of the Colby weekly
publication the Echo has necessitated

from taking charge of the paper again
this year. The new board will send
out it's first issue this evening. Ever
EFT Condor '26 of Shrewsbury, Mass,
has been elected by the members of
the board to fill the vacancy made ny
Ide's absence and is a very capable
substitute. He has been connected
with the various publications of the
college since his freshman year and
has had a great. deal of experience in
the literary field. Several changes
will be made by the new board it is
expected, but no radical depart IRE
from past policy Is anticipated.
