ONE SPECIALITY IN WHICH HARVARD
TRiUMPHs OVER YALE.

Old Ell Seems to Get There When Rrawn
Ia Required. but Fair Harvard Usually
Wins When Brain Meets Brain--Five Sue
cessive Victories In OrAtory For Harvard.
While there Is plenty Of Drawn and
brains at both colleges, In a contest Of
brains Harvard usually wins, and In a con-
test Of Drawn Yale almost invariably car
ries the day. During the past l l years OF
football playing Harvard has been victori-
Gus but once against Yale and In the
same period Of time Harvard's varsity
crew has beaten Yale but twice. So much
for Yale Drawn. In oratory and chess,
however, Harvard, like the sheriff Of Not
tingham, has great brain and an eagle
eye When the Intercollegiate chess cham
pionship was recently decided In New
York, S. NJ. Rallou and ". L. Van Kleeck,
Harvard's representatives, easily captured
the honors In this great game Of brain, and
Yale was forced to content herself with
tying Princeton for second place.
In the more recent oratorical scrimmage
between Harvard and Yale in Cambridge
Harvard won the championship. This con-
test Of brain has always been won by Har-
ward ever since committee Of judges was
chosen to make a decision. The debates
were inaugurated three years ago, and at
first the orators merely discussed the sub
jeet chosen before an appreciative audience,
and the spectators were left to decide the
question Of supremacy. This finale was so
unsatisfactory to the contestants that the
last five debates have been decided by COM
mittees Of judges appointed by agreement
