round paillettes of the shade of the

The year OF intercollegiate and anna

has been, from the point of view of the
lover of sport for sports sake. a most
successful one. 1t has been a Yale year

in the past and probably few in the

intercollegiate athletic history with so
many Yale successes to their credit.
In fact, the blue has made practically a

supremacy in base ball was the only
really important honor the Eli athletes
