friends of the members OF the nhrN"'u
Vale team congregated OH the west ehd
NJ the pier and awaited the departure Oh
the St. Louis. For fully three minutes
while the big steamship backed INTO the
stream, the members of the American

In response to the yelis III their friends.
There seemed to be preponderance OF
Yale flags among the group of college
enthusiasts on the pier, but there was no
lack of crimson in evidence for the poys

Whenever group of Yale men on the
pier Joined in a yell the entire Harvard
Yale team on board the steamship re-
for Yale. And then with equal enthu-
siasm the Yale members of the team
Joined the Harvard athletes in sending
up ringing cheer and yell for Harvard

thusiastc They, too, Joined in the
cheers, first for one college and then for
the other.

The whistle of the st. Louis blew lon
ger than usual, it seemed, as she backed
out into the river, but above the blasts of
the whistles could easily be distinguished
the vocal pyrotcchnics Of the lusty lunged
athletes. The cheers We're kept up at
short but irregular intervals until the

then the flags of Yale and Harvard We're
wigwagging from the bow Of the st.
