THE GRAYs' GRANN1ss MEDAL

The competitive drill for the Granniss
medal held by the Grays Wednesday
night was a very interesting affair.
This drill was on the order of old
fashioned spelling matches, and as
soon as a man made the slightest mis-
take he had to drop out. The contest
was very exciting, and became more
so as fewer men were left IN the
ranks. At last there were only TWO
left, Private Van Name, son of Libra
rian Van Name of Yale, and Second
Sergeant Edward Gruener. Sergeant
Gruener won.
The Grannis medal which was pre-
sented to the company by Col. Gran
mis- of San Francisco, an old Gray Will
be awarded yearly to the man VINO op-
tains the highest percentage In drlil,
craftsmanship and attendance The
award will be announced next week.
