The three alumni directors — Hicks, Landall. Scully. The three undergraduate directors — Kimball, Ross, Percy. Katharine Eberhardt, Sec. The athletic directors got busy a bit earlier than usual this year. The cross- country candidates were called out on the second day of school, while the football candidates followed suit in a few days. CROSS- -('GENTRY. The cross-country team, captained by G. H. Goldsmith, is made up of practi- cally the same men as was last year’s team. The team is sure to feel The loss of • Joe'' Zwinge. who is at present attend- ing Worcester Academy, and who is re- ported as having made good on their cross-country team. Several recruits have been showing up well in practice. Of ihese. Collins, one of the most promising, has been obliged to lay off, owing to an injury received in practice. The first run of the season was held over the new Spring St. course, which has been selected for This year's work. The teams scheduled to run were Ar- lington, Melrose and Malden. At the last moment Malden backed out. and Arlington and Melrose were left to tight it out. The race was easily won by Arlington, this team finishing five men in a dead heat, fifty yards in ad- vance of Heald, the first Melrose man. The first five to finish were: G. Gold- smith leapt.). C. Adams, R. Hatfield, H. Kimball, A. Wunderlich Robinson, Reycroft, Morse and Young finished in the order named. Percy Johnson was not allowed to enter the race on account of a previous sickness, which has diminished his for- mer strength. FOOTBALL. Although the football squad is al- most entirely new, it is doing exceed- ingly well. There are but five veterans on the team — Mansell, Cousins, Dun- can. Caterino and Campbell. These five men make a great tower of strength, about which the recruits may rally. On account of extra work which Rob- bins was carrying, it was impossible for him to come out for the team until just before the Stoneham game. Robbins is a very clever player, and his presence is sure to be felt in the coming games, as it was in the Stoneham game. The team played its first game on

When I woke up it was daylight, and I was hungry; but the kids had left a bottle of water and some sandwiches on the floor beside me, so that was all right. But the more I thought about the game, and the prob- ability of those low-down -Juniors win- ning it, the madder I got, and I finally vowed that when they came after me I’d give them a good scare. I guess I must have gone to sleep again some time during the day, for if didn't seem such an awfully long time until dark, and then before a great while I heard the auto come up. 1 waited a minute, and then, just as 1 heard the door opening, I began to groan in the most sepulchral way. 1 tell you, they came over mighty quick to where I lay stretched out on the floor, and spoke to me, but I pretended not to know them, and just rolled my head from side to side, and cast up my eyes into the top of my head. Well, two more scared young gentlemen you never saw. They finally decided that one of them had better go for help, while the other stayed with me, so John Bur- dett dashed off in the car, and Tom I vers stayed with me. “It wasn’t long before the auto dashed up again, and John came in with my room-mate and a crowd of other Seniors.

Percv Johnson fessed the whole plot, and the Seniors were lighting into him in good shape, and threatening to1 go to Prexy with the story. I was still groaning and rolling, so they wrapped me np in a coat, carried me out, and laid me in the car as carefully as if I'd been cut-glass. All the way over the Juniors were apol- ogizing and grovelling, the Seniors threatening, and I putting in a few groans now and then ; and before we got to fhe college the Juniors had prom- ised that the game should be played over next Saturday, so the Seniors kindly consented not to go to Prexy, especially since I had managed to let them know that I was not half so nearly dead as I sounded. 1 quite brightened up when we got to my room, and after the badly scared and repentant Juniors had left us, was able to sit up the rest of the night and make plans with the fellows about giving the Juniors the worst licking of their lives next Satur- day. So now, you see, kid, why 1 wasn’t playing football yesterday.” I sank to fhe stairs with a gasp. “What’s the matter?” inquired the kidnapped James, making passes through the air with Hie sabre. “I really wasn't hurt any, so you needn’t worry about that.” “Nothing's the matter-,” I re] died, pet- tishly. “only you spent yesterday and last night under my very nose, in that old deserted stable down the road, and spoiled a perfectly good ‘horrible mur- der' mvsterv. vou horrid bov!” L.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 1 3 Wednesday, Oct. 7, at Quincy. Al- though our men were outweighed, they put up a stiff fight, and held their op- ponents to one touchdown, the score being (5 to 0 in Quincy's favor. On this occasion Mansell and Cousins played their usual fast game. It was in this first game that Berquist showed up so brilliantly. He received much good practice while playing with Somerville last year. On Oct. !) the hoys went to the Brown and Nichols field to play a scrimmage with that team. The score was not counted. The third game was played at the home grounds on Oct. Iff, with Stone ham. Captain Mansell played a brill- iant and fast game, ably seconded by the rest of his ream mates. There were two very spectacular plays during the second half of the game. Stoneham had advanced the ball steadily down the field by a series of line plunges until Arlington's five-yard line was reached, when they were held for downs. Dun can passed the ball to Spencer, who faked a punt. The ruse worked, and Spencer was able to run down the field for a gain of forty yards. In the last quarter of play, Cousins received the ball on Arlington's forty-yard line, and rushed the remaining fifty yards for a touchdown, making the final score IS— 0. The game, on the whole, was easy, but, withal, well played. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE. Team Date Quincy at Quincy Oct. 7 Stoneham at Arlington Oct. Iff Natick at Arlington Oct.
