Dear old Yale did quite 'nobly by the memory of the Merriwell boys Frank anl Dick of yellow back fiction note--this year.
 The Blue climbed back from the depths of athletic mediocrity and re- establish itself as the collegiate head liner of the works.
 The football varsity cruised success fully up and down the spines of sun dry victims last fall. It was one of the great football teams of the season, possibly the greatest.
 The track and field team carried away top honors in the intercollegiate games. much to the surprise of eX- perts and dismay of the Californians, who were confident of repeating.
 The crew not only disposed of its routine opponents in the big event of the year but padded out and threw cold, wet spray in the faces of an all- star aggregation which aspired to Olympic glory.
 The Yale crew. now abroad, is a heavy favorite to out-strokc the worlds foremost challengers in the Olympic row.
 Tt is probably the greatest crew in the history of American rowing" is the estimate of one of the eountry's best qualified observers.
 Yes, this has been an epnchal year for the Yale "Y."
 The Merriwell boys themselves could hardly have done any better.

The Yale men, however, are not complaining and their cheerful spirits cannot be repressed. They were all busy today practcing Dutch, Spanish, Italian, French and Flemish phrases to fling at the opposing crews when they meet them.

Two Heavyweight Bouts, Each to a Finish, Slated for I. o. o. F. Hall Next Wednesday Evening.

The wrestling game is 10 be reStred in this city Next Wednesday evening in I. o. o. r. hal! on Arch street, two heavyweight bouts are to be staged under the auspices of the Star A. C., group of local promoters interested in the wrestling game, and 2O0- pound Italian champ will tackle a 200-pound Polish champ in the main attraction The preliminary brings together & 195-pound grapper who will endeavor to throw 205-pound opponent out of the ring.
 It has been a number of years since there has been a wrestling bout in this city, but there was a time, before the war, when this game was quite popular here and there was, at that time, particularly keen rivalry be- tween Alvah Nentres, the Berlin Blacksmith, and "kid" Benjamin, a Plainville strong man. "The Berlin Bearcat" was another young wrestler of note and Dutch" Kent of Hartford also used to show his wares here. Also, in the past, such stars as George Hackcnschmidt, the two Zbyszkos, Strangler Lewis and others have grunted and puffed about the ring here.
 Next Wednesdays bouts are adver- tised as to 8 finish--but let's hope that the preliminary at least does not seek to emulate the we'll known late democratic convention.
 Jack Sherry, who tips the beam at 195 pounds, meets up with Carl Ro- Der, 2o5 pounds and advertised as the Jugo- -Slavian champion, in the open ing number.
 The star bout Is between Oreste Nadelf who claims to be the Italian
