Team and Their West Point Game |
-Wesleyan-Princet Game.
Yale freshmen had their first opportuni- |
ty to show their speed on the cinder track
Saturday at the annual fall games. Per-
feet weather, a large and enthusiastic
crowd and efficient management all helped
to make the event a success. No Yale rec
ords were broken, though Sheldon came
dangerously near one In the broad jump,
and Alling might have smashed another
had he been pressed in the bicycle race.
Morgan and Scoville, last years represen-
tatives, had pretty fight in the mile run.
The sprint down the open on the Last lap
was grand exhibition. Morgan threw
himself across the tape only few feet
ahead.
In the 22O-yard dash Chubb of last
years team had a hard time in beating out
Sanford, the big football center rush. Both
ran in fine form and made excellent time.
Alling, the bicycle rider, who made his de-
but Saturday, is looked upon as coming
man in this event. He had no trouble
whatever in winning Saturday in fast
last lap and against a big field.

Intercollegiate Football association Satur.
day night at least two members of the old
Yale championship teams will return al
once and will play on the Yale eleven OF
1913. They are Harmon S. Graves and
George F. Sanford. Both are in the Law
school, and were kept under the ban by
the undergraduate rule till last night. Now
they will fly to the rescue of the crippled
Yale team and resume their old places.
Sanford was the star center rush on Nc
Clung's team of 1891, and was kept from
playing last fall by broken ankle, though
