 Between the halves of the Brown game last Saturday the WhiffenpoofS mourned the loss of their annual eel ebration which had been frowned upon by the authorities. The Whiffenpoofs, social club composed of a. few sen- iors, for many years in the event of the Brown game have given a celebration, costumed to represent characters prominent in current events. To the tune of Grieg's funeral march played by the band, a coffin with the body of the old tradition safely nailed down, was carried to the middle of the field by the Whiffenpoofs, clad in very long black robes. Here they laid the coffin down and sang their anthem through, and the magic of their sing ing lent a spell to the multitude as- sembled, to the last Yale field crowd who had learned to love their antics very well.
 "Wednesday afternoon cheers and singing were practiced in the Bowl, preparatory to the Princeton gaiIIc. A parade headed by the band marched to the Bowl where the last scrimmage before Saturdays game was held be- tween the first and second teams. The team will leave for Princeton Friday afternoon at which time it has been planned to hold another mass meet ing in the form of send-off for the team,
 Saturday at the time of the Yale Harvard freshman game when the varsity is laying at Princeton, a de- tailed report of the Yale-Princeton game will be shown on board at Yale field. A wire will run from the Palmer Stadium at Princeton, to the board at the field and it is intended that the service will be instantaneous In order to make these reports as near perfect as possible special opera tors have been obtained to manage the direction of the board.
 The additional seating aecommoda- tIons afforded by the new Palmer Me- nlOTlaI 1 fS,e- necessitated the employing Of an ex- tra large number of ushers to handle the crowds These ushers are, for the greater part. Princeton students but the lack of Princeton men to act ;n this capacity has enabled a large num- Der of Yale students to obtain these positions and in so doing to gain ad- mission to the championship game free of charge.
 James E. DonneIIy, Yale campus policeman since 1894, died at his home shortly after noon on Tuesday. For more than a year Mir. DonneIly's ser vices on the campus have been more or less sporadic, owing to a. conpIica- tion of heart trouble and Bridghtis distase, which resulted in his som ,- what sudden death. In accordance with the wishes of the deceased the funeral was held in Battell Chapel on
 
 members of the Senior council and the services were conducted by Rev. Ans 1n Phelphs Stokes. The chapel was filled with loyal Yale students. In terment will be held Thursday at AechanicsYille, N. r. During the past twenty years "Jirn' Donnelly has been an active figure in the life at Yale. Succeeding senior classes have voted him the most popular campus charac- ter. He has been a source of good ad- vice and encouragement to many un- dergraduates who at some particular time during their course needed a word from some man of good judg- ment. He was always in great de- mand as announcer at track meets and other athletic events In 1912, the members of the senior class raised $400 to send him to the Olympic games at Stockholm. Mfr. Donnelly's posi- ton in the university was a peculiar one and he was trusted implicitly by all in authority, and did much valuable realized or known by the under graduate body. In lamenting his death, President Hadley has made the following statement: He was as true and as loyal a Yale man as there was anywhere, and he did an inestimabIe deal of good for the university. It will be difficult in the extreme to secure anyone who will be able to fill the place which he held so long and 90 faithfully"
