...University, yet with the near approach of the intercollegiate athletic games there is manifest a liverly curiosity and anxiety as regards the strength and capabilities of Yale upon the track. Our class games have been unusually spirited and exciting this year. In the upper-class games Berger, '88 S., broke the amateur record in the 80 yards hurdle by covering the distance in 11 3-5s.
