ADDRESS TO YALE STUDENTS.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM AT THE GOVERNORS
ADDRESS TO YALE STUDENTS.
New-Haven. Conn, Nov. 2O-The address OF
Governor Roosevelt of New-York to the Yale
students tonight had an interesting and dra-
matte ending. Governor Roosevelt had for near
" an hour been speaking to the students in
formally Of what is needed to purify the civic
life of the Nation, using as his text the Yale
spirit as shown in the memorable football con-
test Of last Saturday and laudng the grit and
intense persistence Of the Yale eleven. when at
the close of the singing Of a Yale song he asked
President Hadley to invite the varsity eleven
TO meet him. The great student throng, which
had cheered Itself nearly hoarse with enthu-
eiasm. remained in the hall and appauded as
one after the other of the players came up.
When Captain Mcbride, the hero Of the game,
stepped forward, the students were wildly ex-
cited and the applause was unusual even for a
Yale throng
Governor Roosevelt spoke a Harvard man
to Yale men. complimenting them on their ex-
cellent team work in the game. and, though ad-
mtting that he was disappointed In the result
over Harvards failure to down Yale. he said he
admired the Yale spirit OF players and students
because It was the sort Of stuff which is known
as the American spirit. With this T. text he
spoke in extenso of the late war, and also OF the
struggle for purity in political life, urging the
students TO put into execution In the greater
world the same spirit and principle that actu-
ated them in college and on the football field
Governor Roosevelt came TO New-Haven early
this afternoon. He met at the station by
Lewis Welch, Walter Camp and Professor 7.
r. LOunsbury. After luncheon at the Gradu-
ates' Club he visited the Yale campus, particu-
larly the Miller Memorial Arch in memory Of
one of the Rough Riders T. Miller, 81 Dinner
at the home of President A. T. Hadley followed.
The address OF the evening closed the visit, ex-
cept for the reception in the Graduates Club.
