...graduates' night performance of the play was held in Brattle Hall Monday evening. Although a number of the characters are little more than figureheads, the excellent and very natural acting of three or four of the leading characters made the production a success. The plot centres in a typographical error in which the name "Godard" is printed "Bodard." As both men are candidates for the office of "SousPrefet," much confusion is caused, in which Cecile Boulinard and her father appear. At the eleventh hour, when Bodard's change of winning Cecile depends on his appointment, a telegram from his uncle...

Yale was unable to make any headway until the fifth, when, with one out, Corey sent up a Texas leaguer back of shortstop. Cushman bunted for a sacrifice and was safe at first on Briggs's error. With men on first and second, Van Vieck hit to left field, scoring Corey and putting. Cushman on second. Philbin then clinched the game by a two-bagger that brought in two runs.
