By the graduation of Hodge, Church, Blackwell, Talcott, Nicholson and Bliss, two places on the attack, two on the defence, and goal and coverpoint are left open. The men have been practicing all fail and winter, as long as the weather permitted, and have played quite a number of games. In these games Browning, '89, Uebelacker, '89, Voorhes, '90, Taylor, '89, Chapin, '90, Payne...
