...game with the Brockton Cricket Club at Brockton this afternoon. This is the last game before the intercollegiate series, as the eleven leaves for Philadelphia next week. Brockton has good bowlers, but the batting of the team is weak. Harvard's batting order will be: Drinkwater, Murray, Lowry, Paul, Fair-weather, Mather, Taylor, Brown, Bradley, Wilder, Samson...

In the second place, the punishment for the so-called school-boy antics of the Seniors will fall on members of the present Junior class. It is only fair to suppose that there is a goodly number of 1901 men who wish a debating course in their Senior year.
