...whom have been clearing the bar at twelve feet. Ford and Sweeney have done even a trifle better than that in practice. Ford, Reche, and Cowles have been clearing twenty feet in the broad jump, Ford having reaped twenty-two feet in a practice trial. With Captain Jim Braden, of the Eli team, putting the short forty-six feet, and with Carter Gale nearly forty-four, Yale should win two places in this event in any meet.

The editorial on the Dudley Gate is too cryptic for ready comprehension. Does it refer to the sculptured lines of verse on the two seats? If so, it is justified both in form and spirit...
