Many interesting facts were brought
out at the banquet.
Although injuries hampered the
work of the 'S8 team 1t made 69s
points to opponents none. Princeton
was q favorite over Yale. On the
same day that Yale PLAYED Wesleyan
Princeton met Harvard Camp and
Corbin attended the Harvard-Prince-
ton game. When they returned to
New York that evening there was a
telegram from Mrs. Camp telling that
Yale had beaten Wesleyan, 105 to o.
This appealed to graduate coach,
who hunted up some Princeton men
and got down a few bets at long odds
before the Wesleyan result
reached town. The next day when the
news was printed Princeton wasn't
such big favorite.
1t wasn't heavy team that Corbin
had, though doubtless good deal
heavier now. The team averaged

the other coaches VIII go there.
