...little and yesterday played with more life and snap than usual. The work of the backs was especially good. The general play of the eleven, however, is far inferior to that of most freshman elevens. Their work up to a couple of weeks ago was lifeless and showed almost utter lack of interest. Lately, however, the work has been a little bettered; but if the accounts are true concerning Yale's freshmen team, that eleven is playing a far better game than Harvard's freshman representatives.

The only objection to the revival of the old and picturesque costume of (cap) and gown is, perhaps, one of expense; and this objection is easily removed. If a man does not own a dress suit, he is obliged eithfr to buy or to rent one for Class Day. In this case I have no hesitation iu saying that the gown would be much the less expensive costume. If one cannot afford silk...
