One Of the most interesting features
of life on the Yale College campus just

ran high. The midnight oil was burned
long into the morning, and many q stu

empty in pocket, accordingly as ran his
luck. A change has come very sudden
". The vice has disappeared. Various
reasons are given to account for 1t.
Some say it is because the weather is
mildcr and the students can get out
more. Others aver that Yale /. improv'

however, has II very serious respon-
Hbllity upon it in connection with

difference between the democratic

it,

time to have the best of it. Then Burke
rallied and there Vas lively work on both

fighting from the start and landed blow after
blow on Burke's ribs and face. Burke also

ropes and at every start and from that time
on Mitchell showed him all over the ring.
Towards the end he got in savage blow on
