Bab can remember the days when the cone shape drinking cups used to be dropped over the banister in Albright Hall, only to hit somebody emerging from the shop, and make him shriek with pain. However, those days are gone forever, and we look to the athletic fields to study Jim at his best. He played a fine hard game as center on the invaluable second team last fall, and undoubtedly will win 1 his N in baseball. Babcock also fills the role of Bill Hart in the circus, as a talented whip cracker, much to the delight of the kiddies. jim's happy-go-lucky, carefree attitude, together with the beaming smile which is never eradicated-not even every other Wednesday-has made him one of the best liked in the Senior class. Babcock will keep Davidson out of trouble at Williams.

In a little while, people saw a different one, this time brown with orange wheels and stripes. This, as everyone knows on seeing it, means that George Birge is somewhere in the vicinity. He came to school from Taft two years ago, and finding Nichols to his liking, decided to stay. In spite of the fact that George was always saying, No, no, no, no, or Yes, sir, to the masters during class, they took no offense and he did a good job in his studies. Although no star athlete, George did a good job on the valuable second team last fall, and promises well in track this spring. Although a car helps greatly, just glance to the left Ceveryone seems to be good looking this yearl and you will see the reason for such social prowess, as is his, for Birge is the 1929 edition of Jimmy Hanrahan. He will continue to incite the faculty at Yale to further efforts. Football Squad, '28,' Minrtrel flaaw, '28 . ll29ll
