the College With prerequisites of cer-
 tain economies course and Q good
 scholarship record. The inauguration
 of this years graduate work as an
 adjunct to the Select Courst has led
 the committee to consider carefully
 the curriculum of the undergraduate
 Select Course as now carried on. This
 has resulted i'll some modification of
 the work prescribed for senior year.
 The changes may lead to a more ef-
 fective preparation for the specialized
 work of the graduate year. If the
 course of graduate study as above out
 lined, covering one year. should prove
 a success, it is hoped that it may be
 possible within the next few years to
 inaugurate 8 second year of graduate
 work. in which, possibly, more special ized lines of study may be provided.
 peculiar interest in the Yale Col
 fege in China has been occasioned by
 the receipt of a recent letter from L.
 NJ. Scotten, Yale 1914 The subject
 which Mir ScotteD has treated is a re-
 cent Chinese soccer football game On
 November 21st the day of the Yale
 Harvard game in New Haven, the Ia
 Ii soccer team decisiveIy defeated the
 Presbyterian College of Siangtan.
 China by the score of , to 0. Interest
 in the game ran high for weeks be-
 fore the event and stiff daily prac-
 tice was held and several games play
 ed between the first and second Uni
 Yersity teams at Ya.-i, before the reg
 ular team was finally picked. Several
 evening mass meetings were held in
 which the entire school participated
 and speeches were made and Yale
 songs and cheers were given with the
 true Yale vim and enthusiasm. On the morning of the game the squad of fifteen players together with a large number Of rooters, several foreign coaches and spectators left Chansta by launch. The journey of about thirty miles up the Slang River was made in
 about four hours and Siangtan was reached at 10 o'clock. The game was called at II o'clock with H. ". Smith 1914 s and b. J. FrarE- 1914 as referees and F, $. Platt 1914 and R. AG Scot ten 1914 as GneSn1en and cheer-leaders. | From the start the game was close and exciting but the better teams work and great aggressiveness re suited in 3. Ya-i victory. On NO- Vember 26th the Siangtan team went to Changstan for a return game. Again the Ya-i team showed the ef- feet of American Coa ching and scored another victory. Between the halves l the Na-h students cheered and sang ] the Undertaken with great vigor. On the Saturday evening after the ! last game a banquet was held for the ! team at one of the large Chinese res i taurants in the city. It was a distinct success in every way and Yale songs i were sung before and after every course. There were fifteen courses and the dishes were such delicacies as ! water lily roots, gold fish and bamboo sprouts. One of the features of the banquet was the valiant efforts of the i four Yale 1914 representatives to keep pace with the team in the manage ment of their chorsticks. The banquet ! closed with @ speech by Captain FIwa and Bright College Years This event brought to close the second sea son of interschoiastic football in this l part of China and Yale may well be proud Of the good playing and fine sportsmanship of her team in the Far
 East.
