 A last minute spurt enabled Harvard to increase it's lead from a quarter of length to full length just before reaching the fin- ish line.

Ireland Witnessing Return Of The Great
 Celtic Traditions

Every school child is now com pelled to learn the Gaelic tongue and this year nationalism has re- ceived its greatest impetus through three events-the 18th centenary of St Patrick's landing, the Eu- charistic congress. and the tailte- ann games which will be held next week. The games, only recently re- vived, are over 2500 years old. al- most as old as the Olympiad. The festival was organized in 632 B. c. by Lugh, high king of Fire, in memory of his foster-mother, Queen Tailte.
 The Eucharistic congres has heightened national sentiment by bringing thousands of Irish emil grants and their children back to the "Ould Sod" It also served to emphasize thet infiunece of 5 Patrick, founder of long line Of missi onaries responsible for con- verting much of western Europe to Christianity.
