...Smith Halls eleven in the final game for the interdormitory championship yesterday afternoon by the score of 19 to 0.

Hitchcock '14, one of last year's first string pitchers who has been hitherto ineligible will soon report for regular work, materially strengthening the pitchers' corps. In a few days the candidates will be divided into first and second squads...
