On account of the hockey game with Yale the presentation of the Williamson undersea pictures, scheduled for tomorrow night at the Union has been changed to Friday evening at 8 o'clock. The films, entitled "Beauty and Tragedy of the Deep", have been previously exhibited at Symphony Hall, Boston, and portray the animal and vegetable life of the deep sea bottom, with both still and moving pictures.
