...CRIMSON of the poor place reserved for coaches in the Yale-Harvard game is all wrong. He says that the coaches should have one side of the field instead of an end.

The material for the work is now at the Gymnasium ready to fit together and be put up, which will occupy only a short time, so that the lockers will probably be ready in about two weeks. There are now nearly one hundred and twenty men on the waiting list for lockers, and probably by the time the lockers are finished the number of men waiting will have reached the number...
