Dixon’s captaincy and a strong lineup give Wesleyan a possible edge over Amherst, which has only played three games, including a 24 23 win over the Massachusetts Aggies in which Maynard was knocked out and Kennedy lost two teeth. A college senate rule bans freshmen in red hats downtown, requiring the green button hat with red trim for campus and a civilian look downtown. Rev Dr John W Langdale will preach at the University church service tomorrow at 11 am.
