ATHLETIC HISTORY T has been stated that umanhood, not scholarship, is the hrst aim of education, and in no Held of undergraduate endeavor are the qualities of manhood better liable to advancement than in the realm of sports. Although these qualities are the most important things to be gained from athletic participation, it is not of these that we may Write, but of the actual athletic contributions made by the Class of 1935 S. and E. to the sports history of Yale. Let us, therefore, take each sport and trace it briefly through our four undergraduate years, glorying in our successes and passing hastily over our defeats. The following pages are studded with the names of those who have succeeded in obtaining recognition in their chosen field of sport, but in reading over this history, it may be well to remember that for each man mentioned, there were many who gave just as much on the scrubs and Iayvees and Without Whose spirit and co- operation the Varsity successes would not have been possible.

Sophomore year opened very inauspiciously in football, as Yale was held to a scoreless tie by Bates and to a 7-7 tie by Chicago the following week. As if this were not enough, Brown, with clever quarterback play eked out a 7-2 victory. The next Saturday Yale again wound up on the short end of the score, this time from Army, 20-0. The Dartmouth team came down after the Army game deter- mined to break the Bowl jinx, but was frustrated by a desperate Yale team. In this game Iimmy De- Angelis played a notable game at guard and A. T. Callan scored the touchdown which paved the slim margin of victory. After this game Yale played better football, holding a favored Princeton team to a 7-7 tie in Palmer Stadium.
