COLLEGE NOTES

The first of the College Club concerts for the year was given by Hans Ebell, the Russian pianist, in Webster Hall, February 27. Mr. Ebell arranged his program to include selections from Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Brahms and Liszt The concert was well received by an audience meagre in comparison to the worth of the program.

Dartmouth's chess team, opening its career as a College organization, began auspiciously by tieing a match with Harvard February 27, 2-2. The general expectations were that the Crimson players would find the somewhat inexperienced Green team an easy opponent, but W. D. Hulbert '18 and W. C. Hulbert '18 came out victors in their respective matches.

Spring baseball practice began in earnest with the arrival of Coach Woods in Hanover March 2, although battery candidates had been working out in Alumni Gymnasium for some time previous. The chief difficulty seems to lie in the development of a pitching staff, with a single varsity man left from 1914. The catching department appears unusually strong, with Captain Wanamaker, C. F. Murphy '17, and C. M. Salmonsen '17, all experienced men.

C. D. Horton '15 won the Johnson essay prize of twenty dollars and C. P. Hulbert '15, the second award of ten dollars, in the first contest conducted under the terms of the gift. The prizes are offered annually by J. E. Johnson '66, and are given to senior members of the Outing Club who submit the best essays dealing with experiences on trips taken to the club cabins.
