Two of the clubs solved the problem by moving out of town. The others competed with Ac on Saturday night. Inci- dentally, Yale managed to win the Blackwell Cup, aided by a timely crab caught by a Penn oar. Pennsylvania and Columbia finished in that order. Not S A content with losing the race, the Penns managed to tip over their shell before dis- embarking on the float. After the week-end was over, reminiscences began. The one about an industrious student mowing a lawn at 4 A.M. was among the best. The following Friday, May 12, The Col- ony announced its intention of joining the ranks of the Senior societies, as Berzelius. On May 13, in a fine race, the Yale crew won another trophy, this time the Carnegie Cup, by defeating Princeton and Cornell at Seeing if 17g1,'fw'ng, Princeton. Between rains New Haven was pleasantly warm. Nudist cults be- gan to appear upon the roofs of many of the buildings, shocking or enlightening as the case might be to many of the female in- habitants of New Haven. An obvious step was to move the clubs from town to the neigh- boring beaches, where added pleasures could be found, in- cluding, of course, salt-water bathing. They looked on.

Teams which had been working indoors before spring vacation now practiced out- side, except those muscle men out for crew who had been outside long before and ac- quired their tan under the warm sun on the Housatonic. Only the professors realized that the short vacation was over. The rest of us looked OurHaz-old Lloyd. forward to the open season for Smith and Vassar picnics which were to increase in in- terest and frequency in direct proportion to the temperature. To get back to events which concerned New Haven more closely, we saw by the News that some of our number were doing us proud upon the play- ing fields.

Numerous others took the busses from Grove and High, but, at least that year, did not break into the real big time.

SOPHOMORE YEAR 35 pleasant siestas, final exams were upon us in grim reality. Too late many of us realized that the professors hadn't been talking to them- selves all year and that books are assigned to be read. As a result, many of our friends left us for good. Entry E had already estab- lished the enviable record of having seventeen on pro, two on warn- ing, and one on the Dean's List out of a total of thirty-nine. Even better than that, one student had managed to get discussed at least twice and was rein- stated each time. Although previously unmentioned, the track and baseball teams finished out their seasons. The track team, hav- - W ing been first in the winter season, tied for third place in intercollegiate stand- Livnfl Sl7'071g-Mfr ing. Its two major spring meets resulted in a 73W to a 612 win over Harvard and a tie with Princeton, 672 to 672. Baseball finished second in intercollegiate standing, winning twice from Harvard, 4-2 and 5-3, but losing twice to Princeton, 7-10 and 3-5. At New London the strong Yale crew lost its final race to Har- vard, but the party at the Griswold was just as merry as ever. And so the year closed. If we were saddened by the fact that some of our classmates would no longer be with us, we fortunate ones were pleased that next year we would be Iuniors. GEORGE C. BRADLEY.
