...Slagle, in a Pathe News exerpt, to double for Dix, and to run 80 yards for Yale against Harvard. If humor depends upon incongruity, this is a wow. A post-game celebration results in the wrecking of the Club Prado in accordance with the best Mack Sennett traditions. Quarterback Dexter and his backfield mates conquer the waiter's eleven, but are penalized 30 days, for unnecessary roughness by the superior blue jacket reserves.
