Will be Regular Class Teams This
 Year-some of the Plans.

The same team that won the championship in the intercollegiate tournament last fall at Garden City will play again this spring. These men, making up the present Yale university team, are as follows: swhoomensthrwalkh1 L wkikiikkih
 w. E. Glow, jr., 1907, captain; G. V. Rotan, 19O7s.; R, Abbott, 1908; E. Knowles, 1908; w. | Rowland, 1908s.; D. Partridge, 1908 L. S.; G. Borup, 1907, substitute.
 It has been decided to organize regu- lar class teams this year, the same as last year, each team to consist of six men. All men in the university are eli gible for these teams AS has been the custom in the past, men who have played on the university team will be eligible to play on their class teams also, as this gives the university team considerable additional practice.
 The following men have been ap- pointed captains of their respectice classes:
