private Yale Harvard meetings, such
as the boat race on the Thames
River up here-they are very private,
indeed Nobody attends them but
the Yales and the Harvards.

that nobody knows that Yale and
Harvard still exist. except the Yales
and the Harvards. They had boat
race for mixed upstarts over on the
Hudson, a Johnny-com lately kind

California skiff won it from field
of similar nouveau richie canoes, on

Old Rivals Still Dive
For Peabody, lib

In this book, High Old Times at
Harvard; or, Boy. Oh, Boy, Oh Boy!
published in 1746, $3.50, Josiah
Ounce reports as follows:
THE meeting was held in the tap
room of the old Wolf Tooth Tavern
situated squarely on the road from
Cambridge to Brockton, where 1t
raised HI with the traffic going
both ways. A blood named Peabody
'l3 somewhat foXed with barley
water. suggested that we 60 down
to New Haven in body and chal-
lenge Yale to something,
"As soon as we found the body
we went dawn there. Yale was ready
for us. Her bloods had mined the
bridge into town, and when it gave
way in the middle as we crossed it,
we got a jolly ducking. Eight were
drowned. including Peabody, 'l3.
This led to repercussions, then to
dominoes, and finally to quoits. Har-
ward claimed the victory at quoits
by 121 to 0, while Yale put in a
contradictory claim that she had
won by 314 to 2. AS result Of
this feud, the two colleges severed
relations, and did not come together
again till 1923. when it was too late
20 think about diving for Pea
pody, '13."
This narrative shows you what l
mean. What I mean is, Yale and
Harvard still have these traditional
meetings, attended strictly by Yales
and Harvards, and. during the aft
ernoon. some of the Yales and Har-
wards always dive into the water
Maybe they figure there still is time
to do something about Peabody
