shiver. Notwithstanding this, however,
the Yale men played an excellent game,
and one which portends well for the teams
success in the Intercollegiate championship
contests.
Yale put up strong game, only one err
ror being charged against the team.
The batteries showed up we'll and the other
| men also played an exceptionally strong
game in their respective positions. Sew

teams. To-day the Boston team plays

game will show to some extent the relative
strength of the Yale and Harvard teams.
