The constant cry in French class is, “ Please translate the first person singular. The Junior Class is looking for- © ward to the debates with fear and trembling. Now that we know how many de- merits are given for tardiness, we must be more careful to be on time.

About twenty men presented themselves, and began practicing under the supervision of Mr. Porter. This number has now been increased to twenty-five. The candidates practice regularly three times a week at Merry Mount Park. The backs and ends meet on the other days for signal practice and for learning the formation of the in- terference. Good progress is being made, and several promising men are being developed, so that the team should be a strong one behind the line. For the positions of end and tackle there are several good men, and the competition is very sharp among them. The centre of the line will be filled by new men, who are fairly heavy and good workers. Mr. Charles Magnuson, of the class of 1900, has been appointed tempor- ary Captain of the team. lie is pop- ular with the players, a good runner, tackier and punter. GAMES. The season begins with a game at Merry Mount Park, Friday, 8 Octo- ber. The schedule for the remainder of the year is not completed, but will consist of games with Thayer Academy, Weymouth High School, and several other school teams in the vicinity of Quincy. THE GAME WITH ADAMS ACADEMY. Our first game with Adams Acade- my resulted in a tie. Our team played well, and had the best of it on the whole, but they were unable to score enough points to win. The final score was: High, 4; Adams, 4. In the first half our players were nervous and fumbled badly. This gave Adams an opportunity to score, and it did so, making the first touch- down of the game. Then the High school kicked off, and held Adams for four downs in her own territory. Good rushing by Scharnagel and Ma- gnuson brought the ball to the 20 yard line, when Briggs got around the end for a fine run and a touch- down. There was no more scoring in the first half, though Adams came near it just as time was called. The High school kicked off in the second half, and Adams rushed the ball back nearly to the centre of the field. Here the High ‘‘braced up,” and held them for four downs. Sev- eral good rushes were made, and Briggs got around the end, and ran to the 10 yard line, when Kent tack- led him. But for this Briggs would have made a touchdown and the game would have been won.
