This afternoon the Knights of the Key meet the Monthly-Advocate litterateurs at 3.30 o'clock...
...will play its first out of town game this afternoon with St. Mark's School at Southboro. Since the opening contest with Brookline High School the line-up has been shifted considerably, and many stiff practices have been held with the University second team.
