...will be Coach T. G. Mitchell's mound choice in this afternoon's game; F. B. Cutts '28 is the other alternative. the latter will most probably be sent into the box Thursday, while J. N. Barbee '28, will be saved for the contest with the Red and Blue at the end of the week.

These events and the low hurdles decided the meet, which fell to Yale...
