...bloc-mates-New York's Sirovich, La Guardia, Black; Illinois' Sabath, Britten; Missouri's Dyer. But Representative S. Harrison White, wet Coloradoan, is out and Maryland's John Philip Hill, Leader Linthicum's predecessor, failed to get back into Congress.

Ticknor, like French, has completely recovered from a minor injury, but he has had no work this week, and it is felt that he can stand the additional rest without detriment. A shake-up in the forward wall is necessitated by Ticknor's absence, with J. N. Trainer '31, moving over to right guard to fill his position, J. E. Barrett '30 taking left guard, who in turn will be replaced by T. H. Alcock...
