b. A. 45 Haverhill 16
In what was probably the last
game of the season, B. A. had little
difficulty in defeating Haverhill
Academy last Friday evening at the
Armory by a score of As to 16. The
first neriod was closely contested but
after that the local boys, aided by
the fine shooting of Currier and
Murphy, forced their way rapidly to
the front. The Haverhal team play
ed we'll and were cheered by a good
crowd of supporters which they
brought over to the game.
b. A. Girls Haverhill 8
s. The B. A. Girls and the Haverhill
Girls played a close game ending in
a tie, 80. An extra period of five
minutes was played in an endeavor
to break the tie but neither team
was able to score. This is tie first
year that the local girls have played
and jud"ing from the improvement
they have made they should have
good team another year.
Thanks are due those people who
have supported our games so we'll
during the season. The boys have
tried to reward them by giving them
some good exhibitions of Basket Ball.
That they have succeeded in some
degree at least is shown by the fact
that the B. A. team has net been
defeated at all on the local floor
and have won eleven out of sixteen
games played

 IS GIVEN HADLEY
Yale Corp. Adopts Resolutions
 To Be President Emeritus

New Haven, June 1S.-A resolution expressive of the affection and esteem of tho fellows toward President Hadley has been adopted by the Yale corpora ton, and it was officially published to- day.

The resolution says:
 Although the first president in it's history who was not clergyman. Yale has experienced no loss in spiritual influence under MT. Hadley. His bac- caurate and matriculation addresses have been most valuable contributions to religious literature keenly appreciated for their intellectual and moral stimu- lus by young and old. The Christian ideals and traditions of the university were never stronger than they are to- day.
 His phenomenal attachments and remarkable versatility in mental equip ment have stamped him as u brilliant, sound and careful reasoner whose ut terances on education and citizenship have been welcomed by the thought ful public. and have exercised an in fiuence all the more significant because of their reserve. AS an executive his careful management and conduct of university affairs have demonstrated unusual business ability, and his in stinct for sound finance, and sensitive insistence upon the balancing of in- come and expenses have always been most admirable
 In it's closing the tribute says:
 New fields of great usefulness await him and the gratitude and friend l ship of Yale men will forever abide | with our beloved Arthur Twining | Hadley.''
