New Haven, Nov. 23-Tbe Yale News announced last Saturday that ing to Germany had presented the. University with a copy of his new
 book in which he relates the experi- ences of his first trip to and from America The book tells in a. very interesting way of that first memor- able voyage to America and the events that lead up to 1t. Some of the chapters are even more exciting than those by Jules Verne. In addition to this gift the captain included two
 numbers of the LeipsiZ Illustrated Zeitung the only one to have passed the English blockade.
 The six weeks Of rowing which end ed on Tuesday have undoubtedly been the most systematic and most stren- uous of any fall season at Yale. The loss of the freshman and university MT. Nickals to take up the work of the present year with even greater determination than ever before. In order that this work, might not be interfered with by any event, such as the Columbia race of 1915, there have been nos outside diversions to speak of. The six weeks just ended have been devoted to developing as much material as possible in order to increase the size, and strength of the squad of the candidates for the spring practice. For this reason it is in- possible to form any clear opinion at present in reference to the best Uni- versity eight or the best Freshman eight for the year.
 The freshman football team met dts first defeat of the season on Saturday losing to Harvard 1920 twenty -one to six. The Yale lire greatly cutweighed nd 11yoa ,1o f0 Sxt.Nn aYfJ attack of their opponents, whereas Harvard's defense against line plung- ing was almost impregnable. The freshman's ground g1ining was done mainly through forward and lateral passing, particularly in the last quar- ter, when d series of successful for ward passes brought the ball from Yale's 25 yard line to within a yard of Towards goal from where Murphy scored Yale's one touchdown. liar yards fast and heavy backfie1d had little difficulty in g7ining numerous football was necessary. Twice liar yard made five consecutive first downs and twice made four. Horween and Church figured particularly in the ground gaining. For the freshmen, Kempton played well during the first
 half but an injury in the beginning of the third quarter prevented his play ing the rest of ttc gar,e.
 The same powerful machine which
 moved down Princeton at Palmer Stadium last Saturday will face liar yard at New Haven next Saturday. The only change is to be at quarter back where Iravers Smith will start instead of La Roche. Smith has fully recovered from lis injury of the earl l fer season and was prepared TO go. in against the Tigers, had occasion re- l quired.
 "Yale will beat Harvard" Jones said l tonight. nsI believe I have struck the right combination with my. present l lineup, and the only change will be
 Smith at quarterback" We have | rounded out team which next season | should show up wonderfully Harry l LeGore is the only man to graduate in | my team of Saturday, excepting Cap | tain Black, who is ds yet undecided l in his course.
