COLLEGE ATHLETICS.


 an Eventfur Day for Yale- The Freshmen Win Their Fence Game and Celebrate AccordinGly- other College Games.
 New Haven was alive with noise and ex- citemept Saturday night and all due to the fact that the Yale freshmen had been vic torious in the first game of base ball of the season with their Harvard brethren. As soon as the news was autographed to this city from Cambridge that the blue had been successful, winning by the score of 16 to IS, then crowd of the players de- ligted classmates began to celebrate in earnest. Fireworks, cannon crackers and 1usty lungs were called into play. Quite time was had on the green, several hun dred students collecting about the liberty pole. A blue lantern was hoisted to the top of the pole and underneath, about twenty-five feet lower, was suspended 8 red light, supposed to indicate the amount of the superiority of the blue over the red.
 Later in the evening big fire was built on the gym. lot around which the freshmen danced in merry glee.
 About forty of the freshmen went down to the grand opera house to pour out their enthusiasm "Under the Gaslight." Their appearance was somewhat disastrous for anything like 8 successful production of the play, ,and gentle but firm request was made of them to retire, in which they re- luctantly acquiesced.
 Perhaps the greatest pleasure gained by the victory was that peculiar sense of pos session in the fence, which every fresh man feels just so soon as his class nine has been victorious in a fence game. It is needless to state that many pairs of fresh men feet have dangled from the Chapel end of the fence since Saturday night. THE VARSITY NINE WINS. Saturday was quite a successful day, from an athletic point of view, for Yale. The Varsity nine, deprived of several of it's members, who had gone to play with the freshmen, went over to Providecce to cross bats with Brown.
 The feature of the game was Yale's | streak of batting in the last inning, where | by four runs were made with two men out. The score by innings:
