As his cheek is not entirely well a mask has been made which will protect his face from further injury. Leslie also was back in the game, so that the team will have the same line-up in the final game of the season as against Princeton three weeks ago. In the practice game between the first and second teams yesterday afternoon in the Arena, the first easily won by the score...
