'84 vs. YALE.SOME Freshmen in football did revel,
And they thought that their heads were quite level;

And incurred several debts,
And let practice all go to the devil.

'T their opponents they scarcely could hold one;
Of conceit then bereft
They were horribly left,
And the day was a bitterly cold one.
JEW.November 17, 1880.
