This fall, foot-ball is to be carried on far more systematically than has hitherto been the case. A committee composed of students from the sev eral classes met several days ago and arranged the following schedule: Oct. 4th, ’92 vs ’94. Oct. Bth, ’93 vs Prep. Oct. 18th, ’93 vs ’94. Oct. 22nd, ’92 vs ’93. Oct. 25th, ’94 vs Prep. Nov. Ist, ’92 vs Prep. The department of Civil Engineering has been very much crowded for two years past. The num ber of students now taking that course has become very large and necessitates an assistant. At pres ent Prof. Barnard has practieum with three classes, sune days with two classes at the same time. We are glad to learn that an assistant is soon to be had and thus one of our most flourishing courses shall continue untrammeled in the work in which it has been making an excellent record. The growth of the institution is indicated not only by the additional new buildings and the great number of students, but also by the high plane the workings of the college have assumed. Every student seems to feel that he is moving in a wholly different sphere from that of a few years ago. Each of the classes is well organized and bound together, having the interest of each indi vidual member at heart. The students have found out that discordant feelings and existing jealousies between societies, parties and factions must be laid aside or abandoned, and that to in sure success to their undertakings the classes must be bound together in one harmonious whole. The first game of the class championship series was played on Saturday Oct. 4th, in the afternoon. The game was called at 2-30 p. m., ’92 having the ball. One minute after the game began Atherton kicked a goal from the field for ’92. The Juniors presented a very strong team and had things their own way all the time. Thirty minute halves were played. For ’92, Aull and Atherton did the best work. The rush line too played a very strong game. F. Mattern, Dowler and Stevenson did well for ’94. Score: ’92,-62; THE PREE LANCE. ’94—o. ’92.

The contesting teams were ’93 and Prepdom. ’93 played a very loose game, espec ially at quarter. The Preps played a good, steady game. The first touchdown was made by Roth rock one minute before the close of the first half. In the second half, about five minutes before time was called, Lovett kicked the ball and Gray caught it on the bound, whereupon cries of foul were raised. Soon after Gray secured the ball he dropped it and Newburn picking it up and having a clear field made a touch down. Cartwright kicked the goal. There was a lengthy dispute about the foul claimed for ’93, for the Preps claimed that Gibbony had touched the ball before Gray. The referee was undecided and rather than continue the game ’93 forfeited it. Calder and Cartwright did the best work for Prepdom. Fol lowing are the teams: ’93 Prep.
