Last summer Dr. Lehmann's workers attacked a shapeless mound near one of the larger buildings. Back in Manhattan last week, Archaeologist Lehmann described the results. Under the rubble they found a well-preserved stucco floor which had been painted red and later green. This, they decided, was the storehouse for votive gifts. Some of the gifts were still there, imbedded in cracks in the floor. Among them were a gold ring, a large silver nail, parts of gilded bronze statues.

Yale ran up only 15 hits to Harvard's 12, but the six men on the mound for the Crimson collectively gave up 12 walks and hit four Eli batters. Stuffy McInnis went through his entire staff, except for Rufe Webb, who pitched Tuesday against Princeton. Then the coach was forced to throw in catcher Bill Fitzpatrick, who has pitched only school and legion ball, and finally to pull Captain Johnny White in from the shortstop position...
