Weston was at guard to-day and Soucy at centre. II being an nounced that Pennock and Trumbul probably will not play in a game until Holy Cross comes TO Cambridge, on October IS The second team fought hard. while Haughton, who sat in the Stadium. was more vigorous in ordering his men than he has been at any time this season. The ‘varsity’s touchdown came when Hard wick ran back a kick for s. yards ard then ripped through for the touchdown. Bricklty later made field goal, his shot being from the 35-yard line.
