All plans Went through on schedule. Yale won the tourna- ment in the Bowl, the Ac Houses got their men QSheff was only a few days behindj, and the Oval got its riot. It was a fairly sad riot as riots go, but one industrious fellow reclaimed two cords of wood from the grass which he later sold at a tremendous profit. A less pleasing aftermath of Bottle Night was the enforced vacation of six members of our Class. Exams and Cal- cium Night, which preceded our small riot, were said by some to be the cause-ofggw pg H W Vf,i 3, W in The impending Christmas vacation seemed to make our Class a bit giddy.

Under their able captain, Cy Herrick, the team defeated such competent opposi- tion as Hotchkiss, Morristown, Choate, and Princeton, but were defeated in well-fought games by St. Paul's and Harvard. In basketball the high light of the season was the rout of the Harvard ,35 team by a score of 48 to 16. This climaxed the season of alternate ups and downs.
