Both teams have excellent records to date and the indications are for a very close contest. On the basis of comparative scores the two teams seem to be very evenly matched. Holy Cross having administered an 11 to 1 defeat to the Exeter nine, while the schoolboys bowed to the Crimson first year men by a 12 to 1 score...

...above all, Yale's flash Launcelot Ross who won the quarter against Pennsylvania in 48 seconds, for a new Yale record. When a man gets down to 48 seconds, he can't be left out of any dope sheet no matter what the meet may be. Other good men seem to be Engle, a Yale sophomore, and the trio who raced each other last Saturday in the Dartmouth, Colgate, Syracuse meet. I mean Barbuti, of Syracuse.

Senator Walsh, of Montana, is not, it is to be feared, a very staunch Democrat. Merely because Governor Smith rolled up a few thousand more votes in the California primaries than he did, the Senator has withdrawn from the presidential race. He does not seem to realize that unless he becomes quite accustomed to defeat he can be no true follower of William Jennings Bryan, who was not discouraged after four attempts at the presidency. Indeed, the recent triumphs of Harding "normalcy" and Coolidge economy have made the Democratic donkey drink very deeply of the bitter waters, and for Senator...
