...Pedant Joue," which is going to be performed by the Cercle Francais this year, will not be produced as originally written by Cyrano de Bergerac, but in a modified form. H. B. Stanton '00, president of the Cercle, revised the play, and has reduced it in length from five to three acts. The play has probably never been put on the stage before, although large passages have been borrowed from it by Moliere. The fact that it was written by Cyrano de Bergerac, whose name Rostand has made so famous, also adds to its interest...
...Bernard has been appointed coach for this year and, judging from the improvement which the men are making under his instruction, the play promises to be one of the most successful which the Cercle has yet undertaken. The scenery, which was taken from an old etching at the College of Beauve, was designed especially for the play, and the costumes were made for the occasion. The poster was open to competition this year, and the one by R. H. Greeley '01 was accepted...
...Chess Club has recently reorganized entirely its method of choosing teams to play other clubs. All the players have been ranked approximately in the order of their relative strength, and each member is allowed to challenge any other who is ranked above him.

Yesterday afternoon the Freshman eleven played against the second team in secret practice. At times the offensive work was ragged, but the defensive was good. During the line-up against the second, three goals from the field were made. A number of men were tried in different positions on the first eleven.

The practice will probably continue to be secret for the rest of the week...
...rushed 35 times and gained in all 217 1-2 yards, whereas Yale rushed 32 times for 70 yards. During this half Yale held Harvard once for downs, and Harvard held Yale once for downs and forced her to kick three times. Harvard was penalized once for off-side play, and Yale was penalized for interfering with a fair catch. In this half, Sawin made the longest run of the game, 29 yards. The only blocked kick was one of Yale's. Yale lost the ball on downs on Harvard's 27-yard line. The rest of the time...
