...will not, however, remain as permanent structures. They will be replaced, on the first opportunity, by more durable stands of iron. Portable stands will also be built for the Freshman field, which will be capable of seating from three to four hundred, and which can be erected in a short time. The cinder track around the football field will be used in the 1900 track games for the first time, and will probably be raised if it is found to be necessary. Plans have been made for a new house for the Gun Club which will be situated near...
...current number of the Lampoon, which is devoted to football, has more wit and originality than any preceding number this year.

During the remainder of the half the substitutes rushed the ball down the field by varying straight football with occasional double passes. At the ten yard line, the second eleven made a stand, and secured the ball on downs when time was called...
