down in a modest wooden hotel in East
Twentieth street, just east of Broad

the second act of the opera in Eng
land, when, with his literary confrere,
w. S. Gilbert, and the noted English
impresario, D'Oyly Carte, he sailed for
America. Sullivan came here in an
attempt to prevent the "pirating of
the Pirates"-a fate which happened to
its predecessor "Pinafore." In this
country, Sullivan wrote the first act and
scored the whole opera, and its pres
entation caused sensation.

to the present method of scoring. He
also urges q change in the new dead

Warmers views were contained in a
letter to Gilmour Dobie Of Cornell, who
presented the coaches report on rules
at the convention just closed and urged
more simplifcation and more safe
guards in the rules, rather than any
other changes in the code which he
found satisfactory for 1882.

will transfer his work bench

to use a livelier ball. The change

On that Saturday Dartmouth is

the second game of two-game series,
and Princeton meets an old rival in

New Hampshire and Lehigh to with

Further, it is likely that Lehigh and

While no official announcement has

the athletic heads Of the four institu-

toward the proposal.
Dartmouth and Princeton last met in
1916, and for the past three years there
has been considerable agitation by
alumni or of the two institutions for a
resumption in relations.
