Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-22


 undergraduates who marched with band to Yale field, the university foot ball team ran through its last heavy practice of the year on Wednesday afternoon. This afternoon the Har- yard backfield worked out on the field and later the Yale men had light prac- tice. In the evening the Harvard men went back to New London, where the whole squad will join them Friday, and will come to New Haven Saturday morning.
 There have been the usual closed gates at the field this week, but after 20 minutes of scrimmage between the university and the college elevens the students marched in and ran through the cheers and songs for Saturdays game Among the football stars of former years who have been back to help on the work this week have been Ted Coy, 1910, S. L. Coy, 1901, Tom Shevlin, 1906, Walter Camp, 80, W. Cochrane, 's7, G. T. Adee, '95, J. R. BloomAr, '05, R. G. Bigelow, '0S.
 A rousinn mass meeting was held in the gymnasium on Tuesday night and another will be held the night before the big game. The odds are against Yale, it is generally granted, but there is a feeling deep down in the hearts of the Yale men in New Haven that Yale will come back on Saturday. For two years now has Harvard tied Yale, Coach McDevitt said to the mass meet ing, and it must not happen again. Yale must win to preserve it's standing in athletics, position which has been gradually lowered during the last few years. If Yale wins on Saturday she will have regained her old prestige and she must win.
 The game at Princeton was unsatis- factory, although there was unbOunde joy that Pompelly's wonderful kick saved 1t from being defeat. Yale's playing was loose, marred by frequent fumbles and costly penalties. There l was absent the dash that Yale team should have. Spalding was the only consistent ground gathers for Yale Lefty Flynn seemed like an exploded bubble' to many. Perhaps it was be- cause Walters attack dazed Flynn for all the rest of the game, but he did not seem to be able to find his holes and he was downed without gain time and again. Yales bunting saved her. l Wheeler at quarter played a strong ] game; he was quick and more than once he stood and held the ball waiting | for the back to start the run. 1ale's lack of variety of play was disappoint- l ing to those who fancied that in se- cret practice some new formations and 1 tricks were being developed. This week Yale men are expecting to see a | team with new life, and vim, and the I university, behind the eleven to a man, is unshaken in it's confidence of 1 defeating it's crimson rivals. But it 1 will be close.
 The undergraduate life of the college will be wholly centered on the campus 1 when the ideal of the authorities is 1 eventually reached. A step in this di- l rection of promoting a thorougheoing democracy in the ranks of the college men has just been taken when Dean
 Jones took over the lease of three pri- 1 vate dormitories on York and Library 1 streets, These will be refurnished and I utilized by the college as additions to the present dormitery system. In so doing the Alumni Weekly says: 'The 1 last vestiges of the undemocratic pri- I vate dormitories, the so-called gold coast disappear. Henceforth there
 will be no split in future years as there has been in the past" To
 build another Wright hall where 1 Dwight now stands fig worth thinking i over, the Alumni w eeKly believes. II this is done, and sentiment is probably l not so strong in the university that Dwight hall could not be removed and replaced elsewhere, it would mean the
 realization of having the whole college entirely unit, instead of being scat l tered around, more Or less. as now.
 Of considerable interest to Vale men
 are the opinions sent in to the Ques- tions recently proposed by the Boston | Yale club to its membership. There were 119 answers received in response to the 245 letters sent out, 96 being l academic, 20 Shelf. and 3 Law school
 On the merger of academic and Shelf 46 men were for the merger and 65 against Academic was against 1t, 51 to SS, Shelf for 1t, 10 to 8. Two men suggested a merger of dormitories and social honors; 90 men were for the four year course in Shelf, only 15 be- ing against 1t; 42 preferred to have the
 present three year course also retain
 ed, while AS believed in its exclusion
 altogether.
 Seventy-siX men were against any
 restriction on a students activities. The
 Sunday exodus question was the leas
