...first Hare and Hound run will start from the gymnasium at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The run will be about two miles in distance, and will be slow and with no break at the finish.

The line will soon be in its final shape with Boal able to play. He will take part in this afternoon's game for the first time since he was injured in the Amherst game three weeks ago. Coach Waters is making particular...
