...that fall, and has been beaten by Yale every year since. Two years ago the Magill University team played a match on Holmes Field, again meeting with disaster at our hands. We wish every success to our eleven on its present trip, and expect it, with the memory of past exploits before it, to win fresh inter-national honors for the University...
