bers of the team must accept the disadvantagesunder which they are placed, and try to followthe examples of their predecessors, wholabored under the same difficulties, and cameout at the head of the list after all.

5HE Junior annual, which will be broughtout by '9i later in the term, promises to

more than equal the success of former issues.The artistic department has always receivedspecial attention, and in this year's "Tech-nique," if what we have seen is a sample, theexcellence of the work in this line will attractespecial notice. It is a mistake, in our judg-ment, to publish "Technique" in the fall in-stead of in the spring, as is the custom at mostcolleges. In spite of the short time necessarilygiven to their preparation, "Technique's "social, athletic, and general statistics, by theiraccuracy and convenience of reference, havemade it the vade-mecum of Tech. undergradu-ates. The labor involved in such a publica-tion is best appreciated by those who have ahand in it; the result reached in former yearshas been matter for congratulation. A fewmore weeks will show how much '9I's effortsdeserve the same judgment.

LTHOUGH it is some time since we firstreceived the news of Secretary Munroe's

resignation, the shock of surprise has hardlyleft us. The idea that Mr. Munroe could,under any circumstances, be separated fromthose surroundings of which he seemed somuch a part, would have seemed almost in-credible before it was actually forced uponus. We can be excused for denying, as didthe rest of the Institute, the news when firstit reached us. But it is true, and the resigna-tion having gone into effect, Mr. Munroe hasremoved from among us, and an unfamiliar,though not unknown face, occupies his place.

No one will more sincerely deplore the lossof Mr. Munroe than THE TECH. Always

courteous and obliging, he has assisted usmaterially, and more than occasionally in oursearch for official information about the doingsat the Institute, often inconveniencing himselfto authenticate some rumor. And in returnwe may have done little to express our grati-tude,-that hardest of things to express; wemay have called him "Jimmy," and at timesinserted mild "swipes" upon him, but weknow he took it as it was meant, in goodnature. It was not the man, but the more un-pleasant duties of his office that were attacked.

Mr. Munroe graduated from the Mining de-partment of the Institute in the year I882,and immediately became the registrar andassistant secretary under the secretary then inoffice, in I884 himself receiving the secretary-ship, which place he has since held. Mr.Munroe's remarkable memory, enabling himto carry in his head all the details of the ad-ministration of the Institute, his unflaggingindustry in performing the duties of his office,and the kindness he showed to every one whocame to him for assistance or information,greatly endeared him to the officers of the In-stitute and to the students. His loss will beregretted, not only by the Faculty and corpsof instruction, but by the whole body of stu-dents, and their good wishes will follow him inhis future life. We are sure of his success in hisnew vocation, yet, hoping it will do no harm,but smooth his path in some degree, we wishMr. Munroe all the happiness and peace ofmind, in his new pursuits, which comes fromthe knowledge of duties successfully performed.

HE Glee Club has never in our recollec-tion started on its work with more

promise of a brilliant career than at present,and we hope to see this organization at thehead of its contemporaries.

The Club thus far received but very littlefinancial aid from the Institute. To remedythis fault the present managers are aiming to in-

I

16

terest the students, and bring them into closerrelationship with the Association.

No representative organization reflects morecredit on the school than a club of this kind,and it should therefore receive earnest support.It is expected that every student will do hisshare, not only in contributing toward ex-penses, but in competing and inducing othersto compete for positions in its ranks.

The management will give careful attentionto all applicants handing in their names withthe position desired.

HE eleven opens the championship seriesat Amherst on Saturday, and from all

appearances, the result of the game can besaid to be anything but certain.

To be sure, Tech. and Amherst came out atdifferent ends of the list last year, but theirrelative positions at that time comes far frombeing a safe criterion for this year's play.

As good an eleven as possible will of coursebe selected from the present chaotic mixtureof players and captains to represent Tech-nology on the Amherst field, and THE TECHhopes to see a large number of men accom-pany whatever team is selected, and to see theeleven heartily supported whether they win orlose the game.

There is nothing which will give a teamgreater encouragement than to hear their col-lege cheer applaud them in a game away fromhome, and the turning-point of a match hasoften been decided by the amount and qualityof the cheering given.

Therefore every man who can possibly leaveBoston should take the Amherst trip with theeleven, for our later prospects may be greatlydependent upon the result of this first game.The cheering at the Brown game last weeklacked the snap and force which is generallygiven to a Tech. football cheer, and we hopethe men who go to Amherst will make them-selves heard in a good old-fashioned way, andalso that there-. will. be a sufficient number of

T a meeting of the Board of Editors ofTHE TECH held Friday, October i8th,

Mr. Herbert Emerson Hathaway, '9 i , waselected Editor-in-Chief of THE TECH. Owingto the publication of the Junior annual occu-pying all of Mr. Hathaway's time which canbe devoted to interests other than those of hisstudies, he will not assume the active dutiesof his office until after the semi-annual vaca-tion. At the same meeting Mr. H. N. Wil-liams, '92, was elected Business Manager ofthe paper, subject to the reconsideration ofthe Board.

Kath' aleen.In a land of smiles and sunshine,

In a land of summer skies,Where the bob-o-link, clear noted,

Charmed the meadows with his cries;There, enshrined by nodding rose-buds,

Lived miladi, Kath'aleen,Far away from work and studies,

Far away from city scene.

And I loved the mellow maiden-Loved her true and loved her well;

Loved her long and loved her constant-Loved her more than tongue can tell.

Envious was I of the sunshine,That it kissed my Kath'aleen;

Envious of the sparkling water,That it passed her lips between;

Jealous grew I of all creatures,Of all things, and of all space;

Of the bee that hummed about her,And the wind that touched her face;

Of the grasses she had walked on,Of the kerchief round her drawn,

And the smiling, blushing rose-budAs it nodded her good-morn.

Till one night I met my maidenIn the twilight's afterglow,

And I told her of my loving,Of my jealousy and woe.

Soothed she then my sleepless spirit,Calmed my angry, stirring blood;

For miladi loved her lover:Jealousy, thy name is- mud!

ICK HOWLAND was thinking.

Thrown back in his easy-chair withhis legs stretched toward the coals

. of an open fire, and his lips closedon the amber stem of a huge meerschaum,he blew meditative whiffs of whitish-bluesmoke, which clothed the room in hazyshrouds of unreality.

It is rare that fellows like Dick often givemuch thought to anything, except, perhaps,themselves and their own pleasure, and untillately he had been very selfish indeed in thisrespect. There seemed to be no particularreason why he should be otherwise, for hehad been brought up in a hot-bed of aristoc-racy, and taught to believe that the charity ofthe family was entirely in the keeping of hismother and sister, and should not be broughtforward to trouble him. Petted as a boy andbowed down to as a man, he, of course, wassomewhat conceited; which quality, togetherwith his fine figure and face, made himexceedingly popular with the fair sex. Itwas of his accomplishments in this directionthat he particularly prided himself, and he hadindeed made many conquests worth a brag.Since seven years back, when a freshman atcollege, he had met every style of feminineexcellence that the greater part of the UnitedStates could furnish, and had never yet, butthis was exactly what he was- thinking of to-night. Tlhe subject and basis of the wholematter was Jean. Qhinter.;' and Jean lhad been

" the matter" with Dick ever since he had lefther at the little Connecticut station three weeksbefore. I-Ie had boarded the train and tried toforget her in half an hour, as he had the others,but somehow Jean was not easily forgotten; sointo the intervening three weeks he had crowdedmore happenings than the same space of timehad ever held for him before, in hopes ofcalming this disease of his imagination, as hethought it; but through the whole, remem-brances of Jean's face and the sound of hervoice had remained with him until he had, atlast, returned home to,-think of her.

As he smoked before the fire to-night, every-thing she had said, and every glance of hereyes, seemed to come back to him with in-tense vividness.

He thought of the note of his old collegeclassmate, " Happy" Davis, which had takenhim to her. Happy had graduated, after astyle, and had since eingaged in the ratherunprofitable business of writing plays.

He remembered how Happy had met himat the station and explained that the rusticbeauty -was Jean. ..

said; " but I call her Jean because she prefersit, and then sometimes I call her Jeanie be-cause she likes that better than Jean."

They drove over the hills to the "shanty,"which was just such a place as Dick had ex-pected to find when he left the city,-a tum-bled-down house gloriously situated, two orthree young fellows, an old negro who did allthe work that was ever done about the place,and over the door a placard which read:

BREAKFAST

When yoz get Zup.

LUNCH

Wheni you can get it.

DINNER

Wyi/en it's ready.

There was the lake high above the sea-level,and the wooded hills that rose still higher; thesun that had seemed like a different planetwith its face washed of the smoke of the city;the glorious air, the bracing weather, the birds,the flowers,-and Jean!

He had met her first the very evening of hisarrival, as Davis and he were climbing one ofthe neighboring hillocks to view the surround-ing country. The sun was setting over thetop of the hill as they stopped to rest at apoint overlooking the lake, whose watersshone like molten gold as the sunlightkissed them. There was a snatch of a song,ending in a laugh, behind them, and he hadturned to see a girl coming down the pathfrom the hilltop. The sun blinded hiseyes so he could not see distinctly, but thefancy struck him for the moment that she mighthave been an elf or a fairy tripping downalong the sunbeams, she seemed so light andlovely. When she had stepped from herbackground of splendor, two glorious eyeswere turned toward him, two pretty lips spokein response to Davis' formal introduction, anda dainty hand was held out in greeting. In tenminutes he felt as though he had known her ayear, and at the end of the walk down alongthe lake to her house, it seemed to him that

19

they had been acquainted all their lives. Hisidea of a country "beauty" had been a younglady of buxom appearance, with a red-and-white face and immense hands and feet, whoalways stood in some awkward position chew-ing the corner of her apron, and respondingto all remarks and queries with the expression"Law !" And here in the wildest corner ofConnecticut, was the freest, brightest, mostoriginal and most fascinating little creature liehad ever met. She wore no apron at all; infact, her dress resembled some of the plaingowns of his sisters which he rememberedcost such extravagant prices. Not only wasereher hands and feet well proportioned, but herwhole figure was a model of symmetry; andher face,-well, Dick retired that night verymuch disturbed in mind over Jean's face.They met again the next day because he in-tended they should, and because he had volun-teered, without any apparent cause, to rowdown the lake to the Chinter house for a sup-ply of milk and eggs, which the shanty wasnot in need of the least bit in the world.

Dick had wondered if he should find herwashing dishes or helping in some other house-hold affair when he arrived, and he kept hiseyes on what he supposed were the kitchenwindows as he walked up from the shore, untilsomebody called from a group of trees nearwhere he had left his boat, and he returned tofind the real object of his visit very comfort-ably arranged in a hammock swung betweentwo immense oaks. This so disconcerted himthat, after saying "Good-morning," he blurtedout something about hoping he wouldn't keepher from her duties if he stopped a moment;at which she laughed rather longer thanseemed necessary, and arising from the ham-mock with a grace which he had neverthought possible in any human being where ahammock waS concerned, said :--.

milk at the shanty, and that Davis had senthim down to borrow a little; Dick was goingto say "buy," but somehow, when he lookedat her, he changed it to "borrow." Shesignified her willingness to give him all themilk he wished, and busied herself folding ashawl preparatory to starting for the house;but by this time the man of the party had re-covered his composure and was comfortablyestablished under one of the trees, earnestlyrequesting Jean not to leave the hammock onhis account. Jean resumed her airy couch,and after a time all feeling of awkwardnesswore off, and they entirely forgot the milksubject.

He told her of the happenings in the city hehad left, and because Davis had told her hewas dubbed "Jove" while in college, he ex-plained in a modest way the reason of theappellation, and ended by going over some ofhis college scrapes, which delighted her im-mensely. She talked somewhat of herself,and pointed out the attractions thereabouts,and they got on famously,-so well, in fact,that by the time she had invited him tolunch with her instead of going back to theshanty, it was "Jove" and "Jean," and thefeeling of good fellowship which they had hadwhen with Happy Davis the night before heldsway again, and Dick stayed until Mr. andMrs. Chinter returned, and then went back tothe shanty without a drop of milk or a sign ofan egg.

So things went on, and he spent much moreof his time at the Chinter house, and in wan-dering over the hills with Jean, than at thecamp, much to the discontent of Happy andthe other fellows, who evidently had somehopes in the direction of Miss Chinter them-selves.

The more he saw of her the more he won-dered how she could have lived her life so farremoved from civilization, and yet be sothoroughly sophisticated.

Her choice of words, her seemingly studiedease and fireedom and grace of movement,

Ther every look and tone, could hardly havebeen excelled by the most finished coquette;and yet she seemed so wholly unconsciousand natural in it all that Dick gave up theproblem, and simply admired and enjoyedher, and thanked his fates that she was justas she was, and that he had met her.

One night she sang to him while they weresitting before the house looking over the lake,accompanying herself on a guitar, and Dickrealized that she was gifted with a wonderfiulvoice, and one that had received careful train-ing. After that she sang often, and some-times they sang simple things together, whichshe seemed to enjoy, and which "Jove," asshe always called him now, delighted in.

Until he had known her a week he hadnever realized how really beautiful she was.When she had come to him out of the sunlightthe first time they met, he thought she wasunusually pretty, and not a bit of a "farmer,"as he had thought to style her to Happy. Hehad noticed that her eyes were fine and ratherlarge, that their lashes were long, and that shehad dark-brown hair.

Now he realized that she was as beautiful awoman as he had ever seen,-not a senselessgirl, nor in any way resembling a well-madedoll, but a superb woman. She was not largeto the extent commonly styled "plump andpleasing," but a trifle slight. She would havebeen judged remarkably handsome by everyman in a city ball room, and desper-ately unattractive by rMost of the unmarriedgirls. Dick thought her superb, and hisopinion in such matters was recognized ascorrect in most of the cities of the East.

But a telegram came over to the shanty oneafternoon about two weeks after his arrival,addressed to Mr. Richard Howland; and whenDick opened it he saw that his outing wasover, and that business in New York, andafterward his duty to society, as it is termed,would keep him from Happy's shanty andJean for an indefinite time. So he picked uphis luggage and prepared for an early start,

after which he went to make his adieux at theChinters. As he walked along the shore,great dark clouds rolled up over the hills tothe eastward as gloomy as Dick's own troubledthoughts, and when he had reached theChinter house the first drops of the approach-ing storm began to fall about him. Thefamily were at supper, so he sat on the piazzaand watched the wind and rain come acrossthe lake, thinking how he should tell Jean ofhis near departure, and if she would feel sorryat his going.

Before he was aware of it she stood besidehim, a half-questioning smile, that was alwaysher welcome, playing about the corners of hermouth. She burst into a merry laugh at hismelancholy expression, and perceiving her,he rose and placed a chair; then wholly for-getful of his customary tact he spoke whatwas uppermost in his thoughts, and bluntlytold her of his summons home. The laughleft her lips and she turned from the profferedseat to the edge of the piazza, where therain had begun to drive in before the wind;but it was only for a moment, and as shecame back she was smiling as before. Itwas unpleasant outside, Jean thought, andhe had best come in and tell her why heleft.

She passed quickly by him through thehall to the comfortable sitting room, whereMr. and Mrs. Chinter were awaiting them,and seated herself in a low chair removedfrom the newly-lighted lamp.

Then Dick told them of his unwelcometelegram, and how wonderfully he had en-joyed his outing, and Mr. Chinter insistedon his staying over night with them ratherthan plodding back to the shanty in the rain."Jeanie ken drive ye over to th' train herselfin th' mornin' right from here," insisted theold man, "and you ken stop at yer shantyfur your duds."

So he had stayed, and allowed Mrs. Chinterto beat him a game of backgammon, per-suaded Jean to accede to her uncle's proposi-

tion, and retired wishing there were no suchthings as partings in the world.

The next day was warm and pleasant as hestarted out with Jean over the road he hadcome with Happy, as it seemed, such a shorttime ago. The boys at the shanty seemedsorry at his going, though they had seen butlittle of him during his stay; and of course itwas but natural that they should themselveswish to see something of such an attractiveyoung woman as Jean. They gave him ahearty good send-off, however, and the oldhorse's head was turned toward the hills, awayfrom the lakes and the meadows which hadbeen so pleasant to Jean and Dick during thepast fortnight. The conversation on the wayto the station was not exactly brilliant, nornearly as personal as Dick had wished tomake it. Jean was evidently more than sorryat his going, but with true feminine pride en-deavored to keep her feelings from his know-ledge. So instead of talking of themselves, asthey should have done, they discussed Mr.Chinter, and Mrs. Chinter, and Happy, andthe horse they were driving, horses in general,and had nearly fallen into remarks concerningthe weather when the little shed which madeapologies for being the railroad station camein sight at a turn in the road.

Dick found he had twenty minutes to waitfor the train, and the first fifteen passed in adecidedly more doleful state than the ride over.Jean was continually looking at the horse, tosee that he did not run away, when it wasperfectly evident to any fair-minded personthat the horse himself was physically incapableof any such proceeding; and Dick consultedhis watch a dozen times in as many minutes,without obtaining the slightest knowledge asto the hour of day. But when the faintappearance of life that heralded the train'scoming at the little place bestirred itself, andthe engine's shrill voice was heard echoingamong the hills, they both realized what theparting would mean to them. The feeling ofrestraint disappeared as he took her hand in

farewell, and told her, speaking hurriedly,how pleasant she had made his stay, howhighly he regarded her, and how he hopedshe would remember "Jove," for a time, atleast. Then he spoke of the future, graspedboth her little hands and held them firmlywithin his while he told her all-all but thathe loved her, and should always love andcherish her, and would come back to take herwith him, which was what she seemed to waitfor him to say as she stood there listening withher eyes cast down and her face turned slightlyfrom him. The train rumbled into the station,and she had not spoken in return. Therewere few people leaving the cars, and no onebut Dick to go away. She raised her great,sad eyes to his, and mechanically said somewords of Godspeed; but he hardly understoodher, he was looking so intently on her face.Then there was the hissing of steam, and thetrain began to move away. Her little handwas pressed firmly within his, and leaving herhe leaped on the platform of the last car.She stood gazing after him with the same in-tense look as the cars moved on, and until thestation was shut from his sight by a bend inthe road he saw her still standing there alone.

The train roared and crashed its way downinto the city, and since then other trains hadcarried him to different places along the shore,all equally unenjoyable, until he had given upthe farce and come back to New York to thinkthe matter over. Whether it was sympathythat made him think of her, or whether hereally loved her, was what he had left to timeto tell him; and while, beyond the fact that shelived her life comparatively alone, he couldsee no reason why she was to be pitied, still,this isolation of a girl so lovely as Jean wasworthy of anyone's whole thought and con-sideration. She was a country girl, and yet,among all the city bred young ladies he hadmet since leaving her, he had found nonebetter mannered, nor apparently better educa-ted, than Jean herself; and as far as beautywent she was certainly superior to them all.

-iDid he really love her,-that was the ques-

tion. Or if it was that he was incapable ofwholly loving any woman after knowing herbut two weeks, would he really love her if hewent back to her now ?

"Cupid will tell you when your lady love's a-weeping"

she had sung to him once while they were inthe grove of oaks by the shore, and he seemedto feel that she would like to have him nearher now; for he had known that she wouldmiss him, and that she cared for him eversince they parted at the station. She hadgiven him a toy whip gayly decorated withribbons, once, in jest; and as it now hungacross the antlers of a deer's head oppositehim, he wondered what his aristocratic rela-tives would say if he should ask for the littlehand that had wielded it, and it should begiven him. What would the world say?And then, again, should he go back to her, ornot?

Dick's pipe burned low, and the coalsof the fire which the chill wind of theNovember night had fanned into light andwarmth grew fainter and fainter, and turnedinto ashes, as his thoughts traveled back overall the happy days with Jean,--for they hadbeen happy days, happier than he hadknown in his life before. He had always feltgay while with her; she seemed to have aninfluence of mirth and joy over him, and hewas never bored with Jean as he has beenwith so many girls. HIe had not written sincehe left, because he had wished to cut himselfentirely off from her and try to forget. butto-night he wished he could have heard insome way how she had taken his departure.Suddenly he remembered that he had receiveda letter from Happy in the afternoon, and hadthrust it into his pocket when some businessprevented his opening it. He quickly reachedfor it in hopes of some news of Jean. As hedrew the missive from its envelope a news-paper clipping fluttered to the floor at hisfeet. He opened the letter and read :-

Leftthe shanty a week ago and am now on the water, as yousee, so if there is any vengeance to be wreaked you willhave to wait till I get ashore. Feared you would see it inthe papers yourself, and therefore take this opportunity toexplain matters. I didn't want to agree to the blamedbusiness in the first place, but she said it was necessaryto the success of the show,-and you have to let 'em havetheir own way, or there's the deuce to pay. I thought youwould catch on after a day or two, and she scared me blueafter that, so I had to keep mum. Isn't she a star, though ?

Yours, ARTHUR C. DAVIS.

Andover, 4; Tech., o. '

FIFTEEN of the most promising candidatesfor the eleven went to Andover, Wednesday,October 9 th, and represented Technology ina closely contested and rather exciting game.Neither side scored until one minute beforetime was called at the end of the second half,

when Stone, Andover's full-back, succeededin extricating himself and the ball from thegeneral confusion, and running half thelength of the field for a touchdown. Hamil-ton, of Technology, acted as referee. Theelevens were composed as follows: Technol-ogy-rushers, Weis, Yeorg, Harvey, Ham-mond, Highlands,. Beattie, Waite; quarter-back, Kales; half-backs, Germer (capt.),Black; full-back, Vorce.

Andover-rushers, Gilbert, Colt, Ogilvie,Perkins, Addis, Leavitt, Hinkey; quarter-back, McCormick; half-backs, Bliss (capt.),Brown; full-back, Stone.

THE TEXCH

were made by Bliss and Brown, when theball was lost to Tech. on a fumble. Germeradvanced io yards, and on the third downVorce kicked to Stone, who was tackled aftera short run across the field. Bliss kicked toGermer, who was downed on Andover's 50-yard line. Tech. lost the ball on four downs,and Stone broke through the line with an openfield in front of him, but, on a claim of inter-ference, the ball went to Technology. Sev-eral scrimmages then took place, neither sidegaining, and the first half was called with theball in the centre of the field. In the secondhalf Garrison took Black's place, and Weisplayed centre, Baker filling his position atend. The ball was in Andover's territoryduring the first 20 minutes, and a good runby Kales carried it to their 5-yard line; -butTech. failed to score, and lost the ball on fourdowns. Bliss made a long punt which Vorcecaptured, but Gilbert tackled him near thecentre of the field, and Tech. was forced tokick. Stone caught the ball, was thrown byWeis, but, getting on his feet again, ran halfthe length of the field for a touchdown. Thetry for goal failed, and time was called withthe score 4-0 in favor of Andover.

Tech. vs. Exeter.

Two hundred Exeter men left the campusSaturday, after witnessing their eleven defeatTech. handily by the score of I4-0. Tech.'sinexperience and lack of coaching account forthe defeat. Aside from this there was toomuch fumbling the ball and a lack of braceon the rush-line, which was taken advantageof by Exeter in getting through. Both teamssuffered more or less from having their mendisabled, Tech., however, being crippled fromthe start. The result, though unpromising,must not be taken as a criterion of futurework.

Exeter took the ball on the toss, and by

twenty-five-yard line, where Stothers failedat a goal from the field. Vorce punted theball to the centre, but hard rushes byExeter brought it back again, and Phelansucceeded in downing it within three yardsof Tech.'s line. Tech. held well, and Exeter'srush-line lost ground in attempting to force atouchdown. Vorce secured the ball fromStothers' unsuccessful try at goal and punteddown the field, and Waite made a fair catchfrom Stothers' return. Tech. lost the ball ona fumble, and Phelan carried it outside aboutfive yards from the corner. Stothers made along run across the field, and secured the firsttouchdown for Exeter, from which Wordkicked the goal. Tech. played a strongergame for the remainder of the half, and Exeterwas unable to increase her lead. Borden,half-back for Exeter, injured his hand, andwas replaced by N. Ewing. Tech. got theball on four downs within thirty yards ofExeter's line, but lost it on a fumble. Stotherswas tackled by Kales after a long run, and thehalf closed with the ball near the centre of thefield.

At the beginning of the second half severalchanges were made in the positions of theelevens; Lord went on as left end, Kales wasreplaced by Weis, and Noblit took thelatter's place as half-back. I. G. Jamesplayed instead of Colburn as Exeter's left end.Tech. started the ball on this half, but it soonwent to Exeter on four downs. Exeter kickedand got down on the ball near Tech.'s goal,and Vorce kicked to save a touchdown.Ewing was laid off and replaced by Borden.Tech.'s line was unable to hold the Exeterrushers, who succeeded several times in gettingthrough on the backs. Exeter's quarter madea long rush, but the ball went to Tech. on afoul; Weis and Yeorg advanced the balltwenty-five yards for Tech. Vorce klicked,and Stothers was compelled to down theball. Rushes by Borden and Gilliam broughtthe ball in toward Tech.'s goal, and Phelan

short rushes soon had it down at Tech's

The teams were made up as follows: Tech.rushers, Andrews, Beattie, Highlands,

Nilson, Harvey, Yeorg, Potter [Lord]; quar-ter-back, Kales [Weis]; halfbacks, Weis,Noblit, Waite; full-back, Vorce.

Referee-Mr. Hamilton of Tech.; umpire-Mr. Brooks of Harvard.

The best playing for Tech. was done byKales, Weis and Waite; for Exeter, byStothers, Phelan, Gilliam and Word.

Harvard, 62; Tech, o.

AN entirely new team played with Harvardon the i6th. Without a single exceptionthere was no last year's 'Varsity man on theeleven. Considering this, the team cannot bev.ery severely censured for their general lackof snap and all around slowness.

The game began at a few minutes beforefour, and in three minutes Harvard had scoreda touchdown and a goal. The rest of thegame was on the same plan, Harvard havingits own way, making a score of thirty the firsthalf, and thirty more the second, while wewere, as was expected, unable to score. TheTech. men were Teak in the rush-line and inkicking, and could not retain the ball longwhen they got possession of it. The work ofthe Harvard rush-line in getting through andmaking holds was good. Lee and Fearingrushed finely, and Traflord made some beauti-ful kicks. Their weak point was fumbling

and losing the ball. The game was calledjust at 4 o'clock. Tech., after failing to gainon the kick-off, kicked. Fearing made a longrush, and after a down was rushed over, scor-ing the first touchdown in three minutes.Trafford kicked a goal. Score, 6-0. Har-vard soon secured the ball from a kick, andadvanced it by short rushes to the fifteen-yardline. Trafford kicked a goal from the field.Score, i i-o. Harvard again worked the balldown by short rushes, and Trafford tried atgoal, but missed. After some loose play byGarrison and Trafford, Harvard secured theball and Lee and Fearing rushed it down thefield, the latter carrying it over the line.Goal; score, I 7-o. It took three minutes morefor Harvard to score again. Tech. lost theball on a poor pass by Noblit. Fearingbroke through the rush-line, and Lee ranaround it, bringing the ball to Tech's 25-yard line. From there Trafford kicked a finegoal. Score, 22-0. Waite made agood rush,gaining twenty yards for Tech. Fearingcaught a kick, and rushed the ball back towhere it was kicked from. Lee and Fearingboth fumbled, and Lee lost the ball a secondtime, but Hutchinson secured it near the goal-line and carried it over, in twenty-five minutes.Goal; score, 28-0. Waite missed Trafford'slong kick, but Cumnock had tackled him theinstant he touched the ball. This left fourHarvard men alone to get the ball as itbounded away from Waite, and Hutchinsontook the opportunity to make a long run andtouchdown. No goal; score, 32-0. Timewas then called.

Tech. began the second half with a rush often yards. Rushes by Lee and Blanchardand Trafford's kick returned the ball to Tech'sfifteen-yard line. Lee rushed over, aided bygood blocking off. No goal, score 36-o; sixminutes. In four minutes more Traffordkicked a goal from the field after short rushesby Harvard. Score, 4I-o. Garrison made agood rush, but was soon compelled to kick.Fearing took the ball and rushed from the

From this time the play was very lively andboth sides did good work in the three remain-ing minutes. Cranston secured the ball bystopping a kick, and Trafford kicked hisfourth goal from the field. Score, 62-0.Nothing more was accomplished before timewas called. For Tech., Garrison and Waiteplayed well; for Harvard, Trafford, Fearingand Cranston did the best work. The teamswere made up as follows: Harvard-rushers,Cumnock, Upton, Blanchard, Cranston,Goldthwaite, Johnson, Hutchinson; quarter-back, Dean; half-backs, Fearing, Lee; full-back, Trafford.

Tech.-rushers, Vorce, Potter, Harvey,Hammond, Nilson, Beattie, Kales; quarter-back, Noblit; half-backs, Weis, Waite; full-back, Garrison.

Tech., 48; Brown, o.

THE eleven played their first game on thehome grounds Saturday the Ig9 th, defeatingBrown University 48-0. The Tech. men out-weighted and out-played their opponents, andwere able to force the playing from the start.This is the first season that Brown has put ateam in the field, and her men showed wantof practice. Both teams were slow in liningup. Tech. played a stronger game than atExeter, but will have to do better work to winthe game with Amherst.

Tech. put the ball in play at 3.15, but hadgained only ten yards when it went to Brownon a fumble. They soon lost it on four downs,and rushes by Waite, Weis and Beattie gainedthirty yards for Tech. On three downs Sladekicked to save the ball, and Harvey followed

27

and downed it near the twenty-five-yard line,from which Weis gained twenty yards, andwith the aid of the rush-line made the firsttouchdown for Tech. Slade missed the goal.On the kickout Walker lost the ball to Ham-mond, and Highlands carried it nearly to theline. Hammond made the second touchdown,from which Slade kicked the goal.

Brown put the ball in play from the centreof the field, but was unable to make anything,Tech. getting through on the backs, andsecuring the ball on four downs. Rushes byWaite and Beattie gained ground for Tech.Near the twentv-five-vard line the ball waspassed to Slade, who missed it but recovered itbefore Brown could reach him, and made along run, securing another touchdown forTech.; the goal was not kicked. Good workby the Brown backs prevented Tech. fromscoring during the rest of the half, and timewas called with the ball in Tech.'s hands.Score, Tech., I4; Brown, o.

At the beginning of the second half, Nilsontook Hammond's place at centre, and Yeorgplayed left tackle instead of Potter. The ballsoon went to Tech. on four downs. Sladepunted, and by hard running put Tech. on side,and Highlands secured the ball and downedit within fifteen yards of Brown's goal. Timewas called while one of the Brown men re-moved the spikes from his shoes, after which,when play was resumed, Waite made a touch-down and Slade kicked the goal. Browntook the ball to the centre of the field, butplayed loosely and lost it. After severalminutes indecisive play at Brown's end of thefield, Beattie ran with the ball twenty yards,and made a touchdown. Slade missed thegoal. From the twrenty-five-yard line, goodrushes by Walker and Mendenhall gainedground for Brown until the latter missed theball from the quarter-back, and Highlands gotthrough and took it nearly to the- line. Hereawkward playing by-Tech. enabled Hovey toget the ball and make, a brilliant rush. - Hesucceeded in passing T>echs line, an& -had a

Hovey kicked theball outside, where it was secured by Weis, whoput it in play and by quick work securedanother touchdown, from which Slade kickedthe goal. For the remainder of the gameTech. had things her own way. Hoveykicked well for Brown, and Slade returned.A long run by Slade and hard rushing byWaite secured the next touchdown, and Sladekicked the goal. Brown lost the ball asbefore, near the centre of the field. Beattierushed twenty yards, and Slade made a longrun the rest of the distance and carried theball over the line. The goal was missed andBrown downed the ball about five yards infront of the posts, and was forced to make asafety. Hovey kicked from the twenty-five-yard line, and after several downs Slade ranabout forty yards and made a touchdown, fromwhich he kicked the goal. Score, Tech., 48;Brown, o.

The Farnsworth scholarship, founded byMrs. Elisha Atkins, is open this year for thefirst time. The Swett scholarship, foundedby Mrs. Sanmuel Swett, is open to graduatestudents pursuing a course for an advanceddegree.

With some slight assistance from '92 andothers, the Freshman Class has temporarilychosen the following officers: President, J.Godchaux; Vice-President, C. W. Smith;Secretary and Treasurer, F. W. Fabian;Football Captain, R. H. Beattie.

Last summer the G. A. R. Post at GreatFalls, N. Ho.. advertised for plans of a halland club house. F. H. Meserve, '92, pre-sented plans in competition with two Bostonarchitects, and received the award. Meservewill superintend the construction of the build-ing.

The ninth annual business meeting of theChess Club was held October 9 th. The fol-lowing officers were elected: President, G.D. Chapman, 'go90; Vice-President, C. H.Bunker, '9I; Secretary and Recorder, J. O.De Wolf, 'go; Treasurer, A. D. Boss, '9go.Meetings for play begin soon. Applicationsfor membership will be received by any of theofficers.

With the consent of Mrs. William B.Rogers, the two scholarships founded by herfather, Hon. James Savage, have been con-solidated into a fellowship, to be known as the"Savage Fellowship," and it is open on thesame terms as the other fellowships. Thesefellowships are in addition to five others whichare offered by the Faculty, and carry freetuition.

It was noticed at the training table the otherday that the football men were a long timeeating their soup. It was Julienne, with littlepieces of Italian paste sprinkled through it.These little fragments of dough were in theform of letters. Upon closer inspection it wasobserved that each man was intently examin-

ing the letters in his plate of soup, and tryingto spell out the word " Dartmouth."

The editors of "Technique" have under-consideration some important changes in thisyear's edition. If they are adopted, the Annualwill be printed on a better quality of paper,and bound in more substantial covers than itspredecessors. These and other additions thatare contemplated will necessarily raise thevolume's price, but it is believed that the im-provements will more than offset the increasein cost.

The Senior Class held its final election ofclass officers on October I2th, with the fol-lowing result: President, G. N. Calkins;Vice-President, A. Loring; Secretary andTreasurer, F.

Then, again, it seemsa trifle harsh, and it might not be well for you tomeet the person to whom it was addressed for quitea little while. However, the point is plain, and itwould do for one of the six. If any fellow hasbeen beating you playing poker, call attention tothe size of his coat-sleeves.

TheLounger is going to get in some nickel-plated workon his own score, so be careful how you deportyourself before the date of publication.

Did you ever hear the personal history of Sig.A. Gregori-he of the green cart fame, who dis-penses the penny edibles which are used with suchtelling eflect in Sophomore Physics and all noon-hour recitations? Contrary to the popular impres-sion,he was not born in South Boston; neither has heever been a member of the Faculty. Therefore, yousee,there isyet hope of his winning the general esteem.

On the sunny isle of Travata, which nestles,childlike, under the protecting mother-arm of asouthern isthmus of Italy, he first saw the light ofday; and there, amid the balmy tropic zephyrs, hewas wont to gambol on the sloping green in fi'ontof his father's villa, until some war or other brokeout, and he had to give up the gamboling businessand do his wonting elsewhere, or be enlisted in thearmy and put through regular Freshman-drill prac-tice at the tender age of seven years. He took asneak out of Italy, and got a job wiping beer-glassesin a German grossensaloonhaulsergehabt, for whichhe received the meagre pittance of a Dutch ten-centpiece every time he could speak the whole name inone breath without fainting. This plebeian workwent against young Greg.'s blood. His father wasa prince, and it was not meet that a prince's sonshould wear his lungs out trying to earn Dutchdimes; so he resigned his position one night whenthere was no one stirring, and fled to the metropolis.

For eight or eleven years he knocked aroundYurup, doing odd jobs, until he strucki England,where the Queen thought he might try to fi-eeIreland, and paid his passage to America, in orderthat he could live with the brave, and hear theeagle scream.

A CONFESSION.

I think that moment in a woman's lifeWhen writhes her soul in fiercest desperation,

And darkest gall and mutiny are rife,Is when, in horse-car borne, she grows aware

Of the keen yet respectful observationOf the young man across; no clownislh stare,

But a charmed gaze of fine discriminationAnd rapt approval-till she feels a glow

Through all her being, a soft, thrilled pulsation.I think the sharpest anguish she can know,

The bitterest despair and desolation,Is when she looks, in sweet, shy perturbation,

And notes his fine, discerning eyes full bentUpon the woman next to her, intent,

Absorbed in musing, pleasured contemplation.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

"I will not smoke tobacco,"Said little Johnny Reed;

' I will not put it in my mouth;It is a nasty weed.

" I will not smoke tobacco,It brings troubles and regrets;

I'll let the filthy weed alone,And smoke only cigarettes."
