MORNING MONDAY FEBRUARY M
YALE TEAM VICTORIOUS.
Defeated Cornell at Basket Ball Satur- day Ntght-Splcndid Record for the Season.

Defeated Cornell at Basket Ball satur-
 day Night-spIendid Record for the Season.
 The Yale university basket ball team was overwhelmingly victorious in it's game with the five from Cornell in Poughkeepsie Saturday night. They defeated the Ithacans by the score of 49 to '. After the first five minutes of play the result was never in doubt.
 Yale's superior team work, both on the defensive and the offensive, was every
 where apparent and the efforts of the Cornell men to keep Yale from scoring and to run up their own score were all in
 vain. The first half ended with the score 33 to '. The Yale men kept up their good work in the second half and continued scoring almost at will. The series of team plays which the Yale team has used in every game this season was most effective and five goals were scored from the start off. These plays were so effective that two goals were made in quick succession, each in about five seconds, in fact the sound of the referees whistle had scarcely died away when the sphere was tossed into the bas- ket. As is well known, the City of Poughkeepsie is strongly in favor of Cornell and the crowd that witnessed Saturday nights game was almost to man roofing for Cornell. The only mo- ticeable exceptions were few Yale and Harvard graduates and about fifty young young women from Vassar. The Vassar girls occupied seats at opposite ends of the hall and encouraged the Yale players all the time. The armory in which the game was played was crowded to it's utmost capacity, fully two thousand people being present. Many of those present were still very angry because the Yale team defeated the One Hundred and Fifteenth com pany team on Friday night and they took advantage of every opportunity to make the Yale men miserable.
 The season, which was concluded by the game of Saturday night, has been the most successful from every stand point that the Yale team has ever ex- perienced Out of nine games eight of them were victories, while the other was forfeited because of an unfair decision. These games have been played with the strongest teams in this part of the coun- try, the management only securing games with teams which were the strongest in their locality. The Yale team has scored 206 points to it's oppo- nents seventy-five. In consequence of the number of important victories earn ed the team lays claim to the basket ball championship of the United States.

Almshouse He is Patrick Durr, a son,
partially paralyzed, who has earned his
crusts of bread by begging for the past
several years He was picked up by the
police on Montgomery street yesterday
afternoon and taken to the station. from
which place he will be sent TO exist, prob

tutiOns. pride forces him to secusion and
he gave to the booking officer at the sta
ton the name Of Phil McGovern, the
name he has been known by since the tide
OF fortune turned against himself and
father.
The story of the Durrs has been sad
one. In the early days of San Francisco
the dry goods firm of Kennedy & Durr
located on Third street, near Market. was
one of the most substantial BUSINESS
trade and its proprietors became men Of
opulenCe. John Durr, one of the firm
soon dabbled in stocks. From the day he
made his first purchase on Pine street his
means began to vanish and soon he found
himself without standing in the business
community. He sought occupation as
clerk and finally passed with his family
into social oblivion.
The next occasion on which the public
recalled the name of Durr was November
Y, 1881, when The Call published pitiable
STORY OF ueSlltullOn IN small mover on
Valencia street. Officer Holbrook investi-
gated the case and found John Durr and
his three daughters in a state of utter
destitution and starvation. They were too
proud of what had once been their lot in
life to make an appeal to charity or even
TO their neighbors for assistance and so
existed in filth and penury until their con-
dition excited official attention. On No
vefnber II John Durr and his three daugh-
ters were adjudged insane and committed
to the asylum at Ukiah.
Patrick, the last of the family, has
struggled with misfortune for some time
He drank heavily and later became para
lyzed. He has been a familiar character
on the streets, but those who met him
daily little guessed his identity. His rea-
son for concealing his name was the same
which caused his father and sisters to
face starvation in a hovel-pride. He Will
be taken 70 the AlmshOuse to-day.
