Well, this has been a busy month what with football games and gatherings, both official and unofficial before and after, and a lot of '15ers have seen a lot of other '15ers around the eastern section of the country.

The night before the Harvard game at the University Club in Boston, we had the pleasure of having two New Yorkers with us:—Vice President Charlie Cumisky and Kel Rose, and it was swell to have them come over for our annual.

Jack Healy writes a good letter from New York, and says the fall dinner was held the night of October 24, and also served as an advance for the Yale game the next day, when our New York brothers saw a lot better game than did we the week previous in Cambridge. Those at the dinner were Ralph Brown, Bob Frothingham, Dexter Davis, Russ Livermore, Tracy Brown ell, Kel Rose, Jim Killeen, Phil Murdock, Carl Gish, Charlie Comisky, Pete Cannon and of course Jack Healy, while Jack Mason blew in and represented Boston for the occasion. A talk by Hanover's Whitey Fuller featured the gathering, shared with 1918. Another New York dinner is to be held the latter part of January and one in the spring. Jack couldn't make the game, so he and Bill Nissen and wife listened to the radio version as did your Secretary and Eben Clough in Lawrence.

That William and Mary game! Everything looked fine on Friday—the sun came out of the clouds of two days, and your Secretary hied himself to Hanover. Saturday morning was never wetter, and got worse as the day went on. The game just couldn't be a game under the conditions, and the real mystery is how that W. & M. kicking star got the goal from the field with a ball that must have been like a paving block. Speed Henderson, Eben Clough, Chan Foster, Kike Richardson and the Sec. were the isers in town, and managed to reune a bit despite the weather and the disappointment of the game.
Well, so it goes, and Fall Marches on. Only a couple of games left and then we'll sink into the winter indoor sports around the hot stove. Let's have some news from the outlying sections—we've given you the up-to-date news of Boston and New York. Tell us of YOUR doings!
