...crew has been obliged to stop rowing owing to the floats being taken up unexpectedly. The captain of the crew had made arrangements with Mr. Eveleth, who has charge of the floats, that they should be left down until the middle of December, and a bond was to be deposited at the Bursar's office to cover all damages the floats might sustain from the ice, for when they have been left down heretofore they have sometimes been stripped by the ice and tide...
...members of the junior class crew will be unable to practice on the river during the early part of the coming month as they had hoped. It seems to us that in the future it would be policy to leave the float alone until an order comes from the captain of the 'Varsity crew to take it away, and if any class crew desired to use the float when there was danger of its being carried off by the ice, a bond sufficient to cover all damages could be left with the Bursar.

During the first half the game was hotly contested. Duane, captain of the Tech. team distinguished himself again and again by his powerful rushes and fine passing.

Williams kicked; Germer, of Tech., caught it and making...

Now, however, the Yale captain declares that the question...
Stevens I stitute had scored 30 points to 0 against Dartmouth, on Monday when Captain Odlin withdrew his men and forfeited the game. The ground was very muddy, but in spite of that, Stevens made some long runs, and by good tackling and blocking forced back the heavier rush line of their opponents. Dartmouth was forced to play a kicking game from the start. In the first half, Stevens scored 24 points, and in the second had made a touchdown in one minute from the kick-off, and forced Dartmouth to a safety, when the latter team decided to forfeit...
