COLLEGE NOTES

The annual football rush on the opening night of college, was won by the freshmen for the first time in several years, in one of the hardest and longest fights in the history of the event. Individual and group battles waged in every part of the campus after the throwing up of the pigskin by Captain B. O. Gerrish of the football team, and it was not until after a half hour's intense struggle and the use of all known forms of strategy the 1920 adherents succeeded in delivering the ball to Captain Gerrish on the steps of Webster Hall.

The financial and membership campaign of the Christian Association, conducted under the supervision of the members of the cabinet, resulted in a membership for the year of 904 undergraduates and pledges to cover the current expenses amounting to nearly $1500.

Smarting under the defeat in the opening clash between the two classes —the football rush—the sophomore class marshalled their forces and took the fall interclass baseball series in two straight games, defeating 1920 7-3 in the first contest and snowing them under 20-8 in the following game.

Following the custom they established four years ago when they first entered Dartmouth, the track men of 1917 won the inaugural fall interclass track meet held October 6 on Alumni Oval. The seniors scored 59 points and were hard pushed by 1920, which developed a wealth of track material and rolled up 50 points, while 1918 and 1919 trailed with 19 and 7 points respectively. Thomson a phenomenal hurdler in the entering class was the individual star of the contest winning 18 points for his team, and was followed by Worthington with 11 points.

J. Z. Jordan was elected president of the freshman class at the organization meeting held in Dartmouth Hall October 2. The other officers chosen were E. H. Bruce, vice-president; F. D. Johnson, secretary; M. A. Wilson, treasurer; and T. C. Green, representative to the college club.

In the annual fall election for senior class officers, R. G. Paine was re-elected president, J. W. Emery, Jr., re-elected vice-president, R. H. Baxter and A. B. Gile returned to the offices of secretary and treasurer respectively, and A. E. Wheeler was elected representative to the college club.

The junior class officer elections resulted in the returning of four men to the offices they had held, P. S. Miner, J. E. McMahon, Jr., S. B. Jones and J. A. Philbin being chosen as president, vice-president, secretary and college club representative respectively. E. H. Earley was elected treasurer and R. L. Howland class chorister.
