EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- The great danger of fire in any of our college dormitories is in the use of open grates. If these grates can be protected so that the coals can not fall upon the carpets, there is almost no danger.

The other guard is Heffelfinger, a powerful freshman. Carbin at center completes the rush line. Wurtemburg, as quarter-back is playing almost as well as the famous Beecher. The half-backs will be Graves and McClung, both are playing remarkably well. Bull still fills his old place of full-back and will doubtless take all chances to kick goals from the field. The substantiates are Newell, Harvey, McBride, Pike and Brewster. Most...
