...gala night came. The public, respectfully heeding the great maestro's command that no late comer be admitted, arrived in early crowds. They were greeted by a file of soldiers who lined the lobby and began searching everybody. The search went slowly and the crowd swelled before the theatre. The people who had been searched trooped back to check their cloaks. In the cloakroom stood the same single old fellow of yore.

Lee, whose judgment in Wednesday's scrimmage showed vast improvement. With this formidable combination appears L. Lockwood, a new-comer raised from the ranks. Lockwood first showed up in the second team's scrimmage with Rindge on Tuesday. He continues to display the consistent ability that distinguished him then, and will probably be a fixture as halfback until T. M. Carnegie returns. In fact Carnegie, who will be back...
