Harvards victory is an augury OF flu

strene ethened the arms and the will of
many a Yale athlete afield and afioat
and correspondingly weakened her OPP
ponent. A striking example of this
familiar If not easily explainable
phenomenon is afforded by the football
history Of the Poe family. Arthur Poe
Of Princeton won the game against
Yale for his college. and his exploit calls
attention to the fact that there was
Poe on the Princeton teams from 1898
to 500, another on the team of 1892. an
other on the team OF 1889 and another
as far back as the team of 1882, and
there is still another Poe just entered
the university Who rs looked 70 10 SUN

often been without Poe on it's foot
ball team in sixteen years. Evidently
there was the making of football play

brothers.

i sat up last night and read the new
city charter. a copy OF which Council
Clerk Hayden put in my hands in ad-
vance OF publication.

preferred that the hero had killed the

offers little room for doubt ON the basis
of a study of the seasons games played

did on Saturday. Yale, accordingly. is
compelled To lower her colors and drop
into fourth place. IL was nearly per-

a nation may be judged by its sports

varieties of athletics that are not de-
