The team had a very suc- cessful season under the tutelage of Clyde Engle, and its victims in- cluded both Harvard and Princeton, by one-sided scores. In Sophomore year the team won seventeen games and lost ten. The pitching staff of this season was weakened by the loss of Broaca, who left the squad to sign with the New York Yankees, and the heavy burden of mound duty fell on Parker's shoulders. Yale won the first game from Princeton, 6-0, and lost the second, 7-ro, but van- quished Harvard in two straight games to the tune of 4-2 and 5-3.

' Yale sent her ISO- pound crew to com- pete for the Thames Challenge Cup at Henley in England, but had the misfor- tune of meeting the ultimate winners in the second trial. Baseball Iohn Dugan, Bob Wheeler, and Ted Gardner helped to loe. make up one of the Clyde.
