they term the rough and unfair tactics
employed by some of the athletes OF st.
Bartholomew Gymnasium to win points
in the anne at st. George grounds cleo
ton day. Only members OF the two
organizations were competing. The strug-
gle for points was close and feeling ran
high. Nothing out of the way occurred
until the half-mile run. AMI then the
feeling asserted itself in "A decidedly
disagreeabie manner, as a result Of
which there Is a very bitter feeling be-
tween the two clubs, and charges have
been made which the \. A. L. will be
asked to investigate.

under protest. This. together with the
fact that we had previously beaten the
competition, made them very sore
against us.
1T was in the half-mile run that they
demonstrated they were determined to
beat us by fair means or foul. In that
race Nixon, u st. George man, was lead
ing into the last lap. Just about this
time a mar named Strachan, of st. Bar

poses as a tighter, asked which was
Nixon. Nixon. was pointed out to him,
and when the runner got near to
Strachan the latter deliberately jumped
out on the track and fouled Nixon. The
excitement WAS Intense and Sirpcnan'g

which there was some brief but lively
punching. Rumpf, IA st. George man,
beat Flanagan out In n very close finish.
During the race Garrett Fitzgerald, a

was not afraid of a beating from Har-

to the outcome of tomorrow game.
The Pennsylvania man then went on
to bring up the wormy and weak argu-
ment that Yale's action in the recent
legislation was evidence that she was
afraid OF Pennsylvania.
That Yale Is uneasy as to the outcome
Of to-morrow's game is possible. a.
