...management has recently ordered a new eight-oared shell from George Sims & Sons, of Putney, London, the famous English boat-builders. The shell cost about $800.

Candidates were called out for the soccer team early in October and about forty men started the fall season. A few veterans and members of last year's Freshman team reported, but even with this slight advantage in experienced men, it has been necessary to shape up entirely new combinations. With this handicap and that of unfavorable weather at a time when the new material was most in need of practice, the team has been forced to go through the season with but one victory and one tie to its credit out of six games played. In reality, the string...
