COLLEGIATE LIFE <br> creditable work there during his entire college course. On the Princeton football team of the fall of 1907 he was one of the most favored in the columns of the sporting news which had much to say of his excellent work in every game in which he played. Not only so, but he was made boxing instructor at his university, and since leaving school has proved to he a successful athletic coach, although law is his profession. <br> Perhaps one of the most interesting and most decidedly novel games of football ever played in this vicinity, was played (during the season of 1899, between the Y. M. C. A. and the Collegiate Institute teams. At that time the Salt Lake High school was located in the heart of town, and had no athletic field of any consequence, and the University of Utah was just getting on its feet in the present High school main and science buildings, but neither school was strongly represented in athletics. The Y. M. C. A. had by far the strongest team in the city. The game referred to was played at night within the saucer track at the Salt Palace, under the large arc lamps. One point of difficulty in the game was that on high punts the ball would go out of the range of the lights, and the players were puzzled to know just where it was likely to come down. The score went against the Collegiate team, but the game was not lacking in interest at any point. <br> During the eleven years since this spectacular game, the Collegiate has struggled on in the effort to keep a team playing, even though against great odds, and the results have been positive to the teams collectively and to the individuals. Now that we can look forward to the immediate future for the change of location which will remove some of the major difficulties that have kept our athletics from being wholly meritorious and praiseworthy, we do so with the greatest hope for more definite and more efficient work in all lines of athletics. <br><br> Kate Bennett is back again after her long illness, which took her away last year. <br><br> ALUMNI NOTES. <br> No doubt some will he interested in knowing that Miss Marguerite Whitman of the class of nineteen hundred ten is teaching in Pegram, Idaho. <br> Frank Vibrans, also at the class of 1910, is attending Wabash College. Perhaps some of the many friends of his will remember, "Please pass the bread." <br> You will notice that Albert Alt of the class of 1900, advertises with us. We wish that some of the Alumni would take as much interest in their old school and its doings as Mr. Alt. <br> Emil Nyman, better known as "Peanuts," who graduated in 1909, is taking a mining course at the University of Utah. <br> Emil still livens up the Collegiate halls, now and then, with his golden smile. <br> Miss Myrtle Nelson of the class of 1908, is teaching school at Panguitch, Utah. <br> We wish to apologize for the brevity of our Alumni column this month. We hope to be in communication with all of the Alumni by January. Any suggestions or opinions from them will be welcomed by the editors. <br> Jessie and Mary Robertson returned from their vacation, in Bingham canyon, November 28. They reported a good time, staying at home resting and enjoying their friends' company, but were glad to be back again. They, with some other late ones, celebrated their return with a twelve p.m. tea. Jessie was under the effect of the-weather, journey-or tea. We wonder which? <br> Within the last four weeks Collegiate has added four new students to its roll: Miss Jessie and Flora McQuarrie of Superior, Wyo., Marjorie Hoffman, of Rexburg, Idaho, and Harry Hutchins of Salt Lake, who has been in Yellowstone park for his health. All these students are Freshies. We are all glad to extend a welcoming hand. Let Life be first to do so. <br><br>
