Hanover, N. H., Oct. 19--Captain Horton, who has been suffering for some time with a weak ankle, gave the injured member a bad twist during dummy scrimmage this afternoon, and had to retire, his place at fullback being taken by Black, a substitute who has shown great promise in his play so far this season. A star on last year's Freshman team, he took his place in the Green backfield against Yale last week when the Dartmouth backs had worked the ball within the ten yard line, and took the pigskin over for his team's only tally...

The higher education will have gained another victory...

At the other end of the scale stands Miss Tiverton's black cat, sleek and scornful the most satisfactory cat since Dick Whittington's day. Neither Juliet nor the reader ever sees Miss Tiverton, but the black cat, sunning himself on the wall between the two houses, is a competent viceroy...
