Hunt six lengths before the favorite. Thus
they toddled home.

He played two years at Syracuse, played

more than four years. Tte year or years
during which any man shall have repre-

AS this rule specifies any contest what

they thought that the rule referred to
championship contests with Harvard and
Princeton, and not to practice on minor
college games. Unless q new rule is adopt
