...Haven this evening. The Yale team has not developed very rapidly, and has had but little success thus far during the season. During vacation, it was defeated by both St. Paul's and McGill, by scores of 4 to 1, and 2 to 0 respectively. The most marked defect displayed has been a lack of endurance.
