With a number of players away at labs and Navy Sci drills, the practice field had a make-shift appearance, and the "B" team spent its time running through signals and practicing defenses against Coast Guard plays.

The only possible exit from the building outside of the narrow, poorly-lit, stairways, is through the make-shift, self-operated rope fire escape in each room, suspended from a thin iron hook. There is only one rope in every room, whether single or double. In the event that the other dormitories of the University are filled next year, it is possible that the University will attempt...
