Lovers of mathematics will be at- tracted at once bv the title of one of « Cherry and White’s most interesting stories, 44 Three Squares, A Geo- metrical Romance.” Considerable poetic talent is shown by the contributors to some ex- changes. One paper, we notice, has a regular department, The Poets’ Corner. ’98’s read 44 Trials of a Senior,” in the Olio, and protit thereby. The College Forum contains a good article entitled 44 Disunion.” Who can help admiring the sim- ple but attractive cover of Cherry and White ? We congratulate the Distaff on its excellent editorials.

THE GOLDEN-ROD. niGH, 18; WEYMOUTH, 0 IVith a crippled team, the Quincy High school easily defeated the Wey- mouth North High school Wednesday at Merry Mount park. In the first half Quincy played poorly and fumbled repeatedly. Weymouth played slowly and wasted time as much as possible. The play was wholly in the territory of Weymouth, but Quincy was unable to score at all. In the second half Quincy played much better. They kicked off and held Weymouth for downs in the centre of the field. On the first rush C. Magnuson cot around the end and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. A moment later he kicked the goal. Weymouth kicked off and Quincy soon worked the ball up the field for a second touchdown. Magnuson kicked the goal. It was getting dark and Wey- mouth delayed the game as much as possible. Finally they kicked off and good rushes brought the ball back to the 25-yard line. Here Quincy lost it on a fumble, but recovered it a minute later on downs. A criss-cross brought the ball to the 5-yard line, and Mar- nock went over the line for a touch- down. Magnuson kicked the goal. This ended the scoring, and when time was called Quincy had the ball in the centre of the field. Marnock and McDonald played the best game in the line for Quincy, and all the backs played well. Drown did the best work for Weymouth. In the first rush of the second half, Pendis, the Quincy fullback, broke his leg. He will be unable to play again this year. He is an ex- ceedingly fine player and will be greatly missed. The line up: QUINCY HIGH. O.
