...Yale team received its first test in New York Saturday night against Georgetown and Boston College. Georgetown broke the indoor record, covering the distance in 7.46 while Yale finished a poor third. This poor showing should not furnish the University any ground for optimism, since last year's two-mile relay was clocked in 8.11. Had the record breaking Georgetown team run the University at the B.

Such treaties as the Foreign Relations Committee may report will also come up for ratification. All agricultural bills were left off the tentative program until the President's Agricultural Commission shall report in January or February. Aside from these measures, eleven bills, all favorably reported by committees in the last session of Congress, are listed to occupy the vacancies in the Senate's time. The eleven...
