Preparations have been made to photograph from the University Observatory the shower of meteorites which is expected to occur this week. In 1833 and 1867 the meteoric displays were of extraordinary brilliance; in the fall of 1899 it was expected that a shower as extraordinary as in those two years would be visible, and although to unusual display appeared, astronomers look again this year for an exceptionally brilliant shower. Those marked display seem to occur after periods roughly averaging about thirty-three years. November 13 is the day believed the most likely date for the display this fall...
...from practice at a time, when he needed it most, owing to inexperience in the position. Hamlin, who took Kinney's place at left tackle, has not made a remarkable showing and it may still be necessary to move Shevlin back to this position. No change is liable to occur at the guards or centre. Metcalf has been tried at right halfback, but this change is hardly expected to be permanent. Winslow will be the regular quarterback in case the coaches should decide to move Metcalf. Ward has played right halfback throughout the season but last week marked a falling...
...interclass debates will be held during the first half year. The Senior-Junior debate will occur on Monday, December 15, the Sophomore-Freshman debate on Wednesday, December 17, and the final debate between the winners on Friday, January 30. The question will in each case be submitted by the upper class, the subjects for the first two debates being announced on November 15. The trials to select the teams for the four classes will be held on Wednesday, November 19, and Saturday, November 22. New teams will be chosen by the winning classes for the championship debate, to the best...
...University Observatory is preparing to photograph the total eclipse of the moon which will occur tomorrow night. At 10.17 the moon will enter the umbra of the earth's shadow, and at 12.19 the total eclipse will begin; this will end at 1.48 and at 3.50 the moon will again be clear of the earth's shadow. By photographs the light of the sky will be measured during the eclipse, and the light of the moon eclipsed compared with the moon's light unobscured. The observers will expose also several plates during the eclipse to discover if any hitherto undetected...
...fumble as they were and their condition is gradually becoming better. Bates scored on Harvard in the game a year ago on account of a fumble, but with the lesson which the University team learned last Wednesday a repetition of this misplay is hardly likely to occur. As the Bates team is weaker than usual, a large score should be made. The length of the halves today will be fifteen minutes each. The two teams will line up as follows: HARVARD. BATES. Jones, l.e. r.e., Libby, Connors. Wright, l.t. r.t., Andrews, Phillips. A. Marshall, l.g. r.g., Howes, Jackson King...
