big colleges has played as many games as
its respective varsity, but the freshman

scattering schedules they play. has beer

vania youngsters, the freshmen nave been
showing better defence than offence
Opponents have been having a hard time
scoring on them, but they haven't been

The Harvard and Yale freshmen haven't
lost a game. but the Yale freshmen have
won only one OF three games, while Harvard
has won two out OF three. They are pretty
evenly matched on the scores so FAR. The
Yale youngsters, however, defeated Ando'
