...Rosie" and O'Connor have been nursing leg injuries for the past week, Pratt hasn't showed up yet, and Gurley, Captain-elect of the track team, is definitely out for the current cross country season because of a heavy academic schedule.

Hockey seems to be on its way up, although Yale and Dartmouth teams still overshadow the Crimson, the Elis having the use of a rink daily and Dartmouth having natural too while all Boston teams struggle to share what little artificial ice there is. Wrestling, attracted crowds last winter which bordered on Indoor Building basketball turnouts. Bingham attributed...
