The freshmen-sophomore game will probably be pulled off Friday, Dec. 6, the junior-senior game the following Saturday, and Monday will see the final contest. The sophomore class, in a meet ing Monday morning, elected J. S. Edmunds, captain ; "Bub" Langston, manager, and Dan Heyward, coach. The freshmen followed their ex vi ample Tuesday afternoon and elect ed R. L. Dougherty manager. Coin plications set in, however, from the gallery and further elections were c6 postponed till a later and more peaceful date. Captains, managers and coaches for the junior and senior teams have not yet been elected. Last year the final game resulted in a tie and on account of the holi day could not be played off, thus leaving the cup in possession of the class of '13. If they hold the trophy again this year they will have. had it during their entire four years at college, but from present indications the contest will be hard fought and the dignified seniors will have to bestir themselves to keep up their record.
