A clever card has been arranged by the man. agement and it is expected that the bouts will produce enough interest in the game, to place the Capitol City on the map %5 one of the sporting centers in the East.
 While interest centers in the ap- pearance of "Strangler' Lewis and the Masked Marvel,'' there is many of the local followers of the game who will attend the exhibition to tender to Hjalmer Lundin a former resident of this city in the halcyon days of wrestling, warm welcome. In Draak, Lewis will face an opponent who will prove tough nut to crack, while many are looking for Farmer Bayley to wrest the laurels away from the Masked Marvel.' SanteIle who meets Lundin is a new conner to the game but in his recent matches he has shown plenty of knowledge of the game.

AFTER YALE'S GOAT
Crimson Students Have Evolved a Song Set to the Famous "BooIa-
 BOOla'' Music

Cambridge, Mass, March 4.-The 'Boola Boola" song of Yale will not be so inspiring to the sons of Eli after the new Harvard parody has sifted to New Haven The Harvard sopho- mores, susceptible to the muse and enthusiastic for the Crimson football team, have evolved a song to be sung teetthe ''Boola Boola" strains that will cause considerably more hilarity in Cam bridge than in New Haven. The parody was sung for the first time at the March banquet of the sophomore class, and it made such a hit that there is a possibility that the Harvard cheering section will have its9band play the 'Boola Boola" music in the Yale Bowl at New Haven next fall for the Harvard-YaIe football game, thereby beating the Yale men to it with their own song.
 The Harvard men call the new song the "Bowla-Bowla,' and it is in memory of 1914. It runs as follows:
 We'll, again we seem
 To have the best team And it's nobody's funeral but Yale's.
 They've shot their bolt -4 and got such a jolt You can pick them up at all the
 bargain sales. They opened up their brand new
 bowl
 As proud as they could be-
 Now through the years,
 Bathed in tears, It's a monument to Harvard victory
