te1esting recital in Mead Memorial
Chapel Wednesday evening. The pro-

Yale lost to Holy Cross AL and
Trinity ITO. Midd's showing was not
so bad after all.
One game does not make a season.
MIDI defeated Colby Al and by good
baseball and can be expected to hit its
stride again.
Thirteen errors on easy chances
showed the Blue and Whites nervous
ness. Yet Timberman, White and
Whitmore made pretty catches after
long runs.
Hulihan could not find the plate
that tells the story of seven runs. And
he and his team mates failed to rally
around Elmer.
The Vermont team was well repre-
sented on the first base bleachers. OF
course they cheered for Holy Cross.
Ground rules were their salvation
against the same team Wednesday as
long drives were held to two bases
