ABOUT THE COLLEGE

E.C. Doyle '16, of Port Richmond, N.Y., won the College tennis championship in the annual fall elimination series, defeating W. O. Lyon '19, in the finals. P.J. Larmon '16 and R.R. Larmon '19, both of Omaha, Neb., won the doubles championship, from S. B. Jones '18 and S. J. Teaze '18, the runners-up.

Madame Shumann-Heink, Major General Leonard Wood, and Jacques Hoffman of the Boston Symphony orchestra are announced among the features of the schedule of smoketalks for the winter. Dean Craven Laycock will open the series with an address in the Commons November 27. General Wood will appear in Hanover after the Easter vacation, and Madame Shumann-Heink's concert will be given in Webster Hall March 17.

Plans for a more pretentious Winter Carnival, with the emphasis on the sports have been announced by the Outing Club for the three days of February 10-12 inclusive. The open events are expected to attract an even larger number of contestants from other colleges than last year, although no definite acceptances of the Outing Club's invitations have been given out as yet. From the social point of view, the club officers expect to profit by the greatly increased interest in the winter function by perfecting their arrangements for the various events, especially for the ball.

A popular-priced concert in Hanover November 23, and a Thanksgiving trip to Springfield, Newton, and Fall River were, the activities of the musical clubs for November. The concert in Webster Hall was priced at 25 cents a seat, and was successful enough to assure a continuance of the policy of popular concerts in the future.
