COLLEGE NOTES

The annual football rush was won by 1918, after the longest struggle in the history of the interclass scrap. After the pigskin was tossed into the air by Captain J. B. McAuliffe of the football team, it disappeared mysteriously for fifteen minutes, which, however, did not interfere appreciably with the ardor of the combat. By careful strategy, a flying squadron of sophomores finally brought the ball to the Commons steps from the rear.

The varsity golf team won decisively from Amherst in the first match of the home season 5-1, in the midst of a heavy rain. Two of the matches went to extra holes, Godman '19 winning on the nineteenth, while McKenney '17 was defeated. In the fall tournament, F. F. Griswold '18 won the college championship.

The sophomores won the fall baseball series with the freshmen, taking three of the four games played. 1918 took the first contest 8-3, but the freshmen came back in the second, 6-5. The third game went to the sophomores 6-3, who finally captured the series in a ninth inning finish in the final game, 5-4. For the sophomores, Brumby on the mound and Bennett with the stick were strong factors, while the hitting of Grey and Sears kept the freshmen in the running.

In the annual junior prom election, A. B. Gile of Hanover, J. W. Saladine, Jr., of Wellesley Hills, Mass., R. Sanborn of Cambridge, and R. H. Sawyer of Fitchburg, were chosen by the class to act with B. S. Barnes of New York City, chairman, as the committee for the May festivities. At the same meeting, the class rescinded the no-deal agreement, and legislated the auditing committee out of existence.

The former officers were re-elected by the senior class, C. A. Pudrith of Detroit being chosen president; P. O. Soutar of Lynn, vice-president; J. P. English of Springfield, secretary; and R. Parkhurst of Winchester, Mass., treasurer. The class decided to appoint a constitution committee at once, to draft the permanent charter for the body.

The juniors were returned victors m the first interclass track meet of the fall, held on a heavy track on Alumni Oval October 15. L. H. Hobbs '19 was easily the individual star of the meet, winning the low hurdles, and the high jump, besides taking second in the broad jump. J. Phelan. '19, the former Exeter man, sprung a surprise by beating L. S. Miner '18 to the tape m the 60-yard dash, but Miner came back in the 300-yard run, forcing Phelan to trail him all the way around the track. The field events were evenly distributed among the classes, no remarkable performances being recorded. In the var- sity cross-country race, M. G. Sherburne '17 crossed' the line first, followed by Captain K. D. Tucker '16 and C. B. Thompson '17.
