...recent class games have afforded rather unfortunate preparation for the game with Yale this afternoon. While in the class games there is an unwritten code permitting a certain amount of howling and rattling, it becomes an entirely different matter when the contest is with visitors.

Great interest is manifested as to the outcome of the quarter mile, for which race five evenly matched contestants have entered. In fact all the events bid fair to be highly exciting and the meeting will undoubtedly be a very successful one in every...
