 And found the cause for it. What they called the old Yale system had gone to pieces. As a matter of fact,
 we never had had any system except the goodEfellowship of Yale men, coaches graduates students, and the Like-a1I pulling together for the sake of the team That old system that mo- body created AUlas gone Dissension
