Yale Athletes, Fed on Sweets,
 Lose to PennSy

New Haven, Nov. lO.--Though fed sugar In an attempt to increase their physical energy during the game with Pennsylvania here Satur- day, Yaie's soccer team failed to re. spond sufficiently to defeat the vis- itors who won by a score of Ave goals to one. The "sweetening" of the Eli soccer men was part of ex- periments being carried on at Yale to determine the efficacy of supply ing sugar to offset it's depletion in the blood during violent exertion.
 The experiments are being con- ducted by Prof. Yandell Henderson, of the department Of applied phy- siology and the Yale department Of health, according to the Yale News, which announces the result of Sat urday's test as noticeable but not convincing" in view Of the defeat of the Yale team.
 The sweets were fed 10 the men both before the game and between the halves. They were given sweet ned hot tea from thermos bottles and each man ate three ounce package of peppermint creams.
 Studies on the Yale crew were made both last spring and this fall with the purpose Of verifying the theory that physical exhaustion of athletes is due to depletion Of the supply of sugar in the blood the News says The results of the work were "encoyraging, but by no means final" theSNews says and from the crew the experiments have been ex- tended to the soccer team.
 Similar experiments have been carried on al both Harvard and Yale quite extensively for several years, the News says
