COLLEGE NOTES

Basketball candidates were called out for preliminary work by Coach Loudon at the end of the football season. An interdormitory and an interfraternity series of matches will be played for the purpose of developing new material and as an interesting way of getting the early practice.

The? freshman cross-country team sprang a surprise when it led the field at the annual Andover invitation meet with a score of 40, four points ahead of the Harvard freshmen. Smith was the first man for Dartmouth, twenty seconds in back of Heffinger of Harvard, who won the race in 22 minutes 40 seconds. Drabble of Dartmouth was third and Chamberlain fourth. Gerrish, Marr, and Montgomery were the other members of the team.

The varsity cross-country team was eighth in the intercollegiate meet on the same day, which Cornell won handily for the thirteenth time. Captain Durgin was the first man to finish for Dartmouth, in the thirty-first position, and Thompson, Granger, Myer, and Lewis were well-bunched behind him. The order of finishing was Cornell, Harvard, Yale, M. I. T., Pennsylvania, Princeton, Colby, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, College of the City of New York.

Dartmouth took fourth place in the Intercollegiate Gun Team shoot at New Haven on November 21, Harvard winning the match.

As a result of preliminary debating trials, eight men were picked for the varsity squad, in addition to whom five members of last year's team and three members of the victorious sophomore team of last year will compete for the places on this year's team. The candidates are: E. B. Burgum '15, J. H. Butler '16, R. A. Brennan '17, H. C. Jenks '17, J. F. Barnard '18, W. A. Colby '18, J. A. Converse '18, M. F. Weston '18, P. K. Cook '15, C. B.

A squad of thirty-six men were picked for the Thanksgiving concerts of the Musical Clubs at Milford, N. H., Maiden, Mass., and Newton, Mass.

A squad of approximately twenty-five men has been practicing soccer under the direction of Professor Hicks, and there has been sufficient progress to warrant the scheduling of an exhibition game. Soccer has not been played in the college for some years.

Seventy-five freshman heelers entered the competition for three editorial positions on The Dartmouth.

The interclass cross-country match was won by 1916, which thereby acquired the second leg on the Alumni Trophy.

The annual football games between the Tuck and the Thayer Schools resulted in a draw, the second-year men winning for the Thayer School, and the first year men for the Tuck school, each by a single touchdown.
