We used to take canary in
cage along with us so as to have the
songs Of birds in our ears.
We also furnished our own balmy

We dressed in white. and we could
bring snow every time.
There were early Violets out; also
leeks and mandrakes. Also, the odor
Of pole cat.
We played games there in the syl-
van forest.
We rejoiced that we had lived to
get cold feet again.
And that we hadn't left our over
coats at home.
And that there were no tender
babies along to freeze to death.
And that the Deacons in charge
would cut their remarks short when
ready to sit down to the banquet.
And that the cake could be cut with
a Ratchet.
And that the ice cream froze up all
the kickers.
And that there would be no school
for a week on account Of colds in the

And that such of us as ate man

And that we should have new

The Better Way.

The Better way.
N days Of old, a. I've been told,
May first was moving day:
When folks did jam, and push and
slam.
TO get their goods away.
Tho movers in would growl like SIP
The movers out would swear;
When 'er they met in toiling sweat
In hall or on the stair.
The chairs they'd break, the tables
shake,
The dishes they would smash;
The piano with tremu-lo
Would bring up with crash.
Amidst the din Of out and in
Amidst the wild alarms;
The wife would give a yell and fall
Into her husbands arms.
A week or more from door to door
The husband he must go;
"Oh, tell me that you've seen our cat,
And seen our twins also"
Twas joyful days the legend says,
But they'll return no more:
Its Just few to fret and stew
When April days are Ger.
The fashion now is neat I trow-
It's not to move peg;
Nor pay cent for monthly rent,
But pull the landlords leg!

YALE'S SHOWING
 PLEASES COACHES
RTc. SCORE AGAINST SYRACUSE INDICATES THAT TEAM HAS
 FOUND ITSELF.

New Haven. Conn.,, Oct. Yale s weekly Sunday night coaches council was omitted because Head Coach Howe went to his home in New Jer- sey- The coaches were pleased with the showing against syracuse, and think that the team has found itself.

The bunting was the best of the year. the drop kicking was bet ter fumbIing cratic and the defen- sive work almost faultIess, while speed was better than ever before.

 No player was injured Saturday ma strongest candidate for guard will re- sume practice Tuesday. York, at present regarded the best guard, and Cooney and Randall are having a tight rub for the selection. Cooney was displaced last week. but has some back strong and now has a shade the better of Randall.
 Talbot's work at left tackle has won him first call among the candi- dates for the tackle position. War ren has a shade the best of Pendle- elinched his place at right end, his two recoveries of fuIrnbles starring against Syracuse.
 Mystery attaches to the new coach ing system devised by Head Coach Howe and Captain SpaIding. It is supposed to indicate that only a few selected formeg players will be al- lowed to drill the team and that oth- CTS will be expected to pay their own expenses if they return to coach. Predictions are made that many fa- miliar faces will be missed from the coaches this season.
 Lefty Flynn won his place on the eleven Saturday without any question and unless injured will be the regular fullback- His long bunting as we'll as his work in carrying the ball com mended him very forcibly to the coaches and to the enthusiasts in the grand stand, who saw in him a new Mccoy.

The match was a Connecticut league contest and Bridgeport by scoring three goals to New HaVen's one added two more points to it's league standing.
 Both teams were fully represented and the game was stubbornly fought by both sides up to the time that Referee F'earn blew his whistle for hostilities to cease. Some splendid defense work was shown on both sides, the work of James, the visitors back, being specially conspicuous This player was accurate in his kick ing and proved a stum bling block to the New Haven forwards Throp who stood between the crossbars also played a sterling game and saved sew eraI well directed shots
