East PRACTICE FOR MAYNARD
Somebody VIII I've Very Much Surprised
on Saturday.

some foundation for tho rumors that tho men

in secret. but there will DO no more
OF tho dull. monotonous humping against n
second eleven. Whatever opportunity for i'm
provement there was Is over. The coachers
have done their work. and nothing remains

very much as II Yale would win but there Will
be bitter nghting before Hn rvnrd succumbs.
