On October 13, our team went to Milton and defeated the strong Mil- ton Academy team, 6-0. The play- ing was hard and fast, and showed improvement over our first game. We made a touchdown in the first half. We kicked off to Milton, and they rushed the ball to the middle of the field. There they lost the ball on downs. The High School rushed well, and soon had the ball over the line for a touchdown. C. Magnuson kicked the goal. Milton then kicked off, and Quincy nearly scored again, having the ball on the 10 yard line when half-time was called. In the second half Milton put forth her best efforts and came near scor- ing. But the High School boys de- fended their goal desperately, and kept Milton away from it. When time was called, Milton had the ball on Quincy’s 30 yard line. In this half the best playing was by Schar- nagel, C. Magnuson, Pendis, and Barry. QUINCY HIGH. O. Magnuson, r. c. Pendis, r. t. Marnock, r. g. McDonald, c. Wales, 1. g. Dorlcy, 1. g. Ford, 1.1.

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.

Pupils of an inventive turn might find it profitable to read The National Claimant. The last number of Our Dumb Animals contains some exceptionally good stories. The Cadet contains an interesting description of the Tennessee Centen- nial Exposition. A story well worth reading is “The Old Ilag of the Mohicans,” in the High School Record. Expression contains an admirable article entitled, “Departments of English in the Colleges.” One of the most regular and most welcome of our exchanges is the Worcester Academy Weekly. In the Cambridge Manual Train- ing School Register appears a strong article on the advantages of manual training. We think, however, that it is a question whether the so-called “ practical education,” is superior to one purely classical. We wish to call attention to the fact that the anecdote about Long- fellow, which has been circulating through some of our exchanges is wholly untrue. The verses which young Henry is supposed to have written could probably be traced to the brain of some ingenious editor. “Mr. Finney’s Turnip” must go. And Summer’s green all girded up in sheaves. —Shakespeare. Since still we live to-day, forgetting June, Forgetting May; deeming October sweet. —William Morris. In scarlet clusters o’er the gray stone wall The barberries lean in their autumnal air; Just when the lields and garden spots are bare. And ere the green leaf takes the tint of fall. —T. B. Ai.drich. If we could dare to write as ill As some whose voices haunt us still, Even we, perchance, might call our own Their deep enchanting undertone. —Edmund Gosse. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who ever could catch it ? Go forth to find it and it is gone. Emerson. « Mowers, weary and brown and blithe. What is the word metliinks ye know, Endless over-word that the Scythe Sings to the blades of grass below ? S jythes that swing in the grass and clover, Something, still, they say as they pass: What is the word that, over and over, Sings the Scythe to the flowers and grass? Hush, ah hush, the scythes are saying, Hush, and heed not and fall asleep; Hush they say to the grasses swaying, Hush, they sing to the clover dry! Hush, 'tis the lullaby Time is singing— Hush, and heed not for all things pass, Hush, ah hush! and the scythes are swing- ing Over the clover and over the grass! —Andrew Lang.
