ROBERT MUNSELL '12, Please excuse, Mr. Lowell, the freedom take, To remark that I think you made a mistake. And if there is no one who has an objection I 'would like now to make a little correction. In a poem you wrote a Iona time ago, About Sir Launfal and his vision, you know. There’s one certain line that is quite out of tune. Namely: What is so rare as a day in June! Just chanae the word ‘‘rare to r-a-w, A change that’s so slight, it will scarce trouble you; It strikes quite a different note in the tune, “ O what is so raw as a day in June! Not all our June days are so warm and so fair, There’s too much of a chilliness still in the air. I think, Mr. Lowell, you’ll surely admit The version revised is a much better fit. 17

Those who have played this season are: Right forward, Stapleton, Pren- tice, Barker; left forward, Prentice, Stapleton; center, Morris.; right guard, Loomis, Streiber, August, Prentice, McDowell; left guard, August, Streiber, Loomis, Prentice. The Faculty Game Friday, January 6, the High School played their first game against the Faculty. Altho the Faculty has three young college men this year, their lack of practice lost them the game by a score of 23 to 7. The game was played in the new Y. M. C. A. gymnasium and was attended by a very enthusiastic audience. Mr. Salathe starred for the Faculty, while Morris played a consis- tent all-around game for the High School team.
