good nights sleep. arose early TINS
morning, shaved, dressed and had
breakfast, and then was steered up TO
the Athletic Associations office, where
Director Bartelme and his assistants
and line coaches, Germany Schultz and
King Cole, were mourning over the out
come of the Syracuse game.
Along came Yost and the mourning

did everything but what they had been
coached 10 do. We blew up after
Splawn was hurt. Catlett had two
chances to punt out of danger, and
made two short punts. That gave SYRIA
cuse one touchdown, and the others
were presented TO them by our tum-
bling. Whatever Syracuse says about
US. they can't accuse us of dlscourtesy
We did everything possible TO help

Harvard. Whether he will be aole TO

else again. Farrell is now working on
contrivance TO protect the injured
wing, and Tommy is paying several
daily visits 70 his doctor in an effort
TO get the stiffness worked out.

Yost finally asked US TO take a ride
