eleven which, in five cases. had de-
feated it the previous season. That is
really the reason why the team has
been SO weak physically the last few
days. The eleven is entitled to a lot of
credit for re-esta blishing foot ball
firmly at Yale, and it has the support
of every Yale man.
THE result of last seasons defeats
made it impossible for Yale to work

The graduate departments of George

this support is deserved. Georgetown
