Yale Letter

The outlook for a track team next year is far from encouraging. By graduation Yale will lose Cates, Sheffield, Hill, Moore, Robinson, Johnston, Ewing, Eales, Hail, White, Hasbrouck, Scudder, and Shevlin. Should professional school men be debarred, Gilbert, the pole vaulter, will be among those lost. As a nucleus for the 1907 team there will be eight men who won points in the dual meet with Harvard. They are: Marshall, Knox, Gilbert, Torrey, Twitchell, Coholan, Sisson and Howe.

Immediately after this the French Club presented Corneille's great tragedy, "Le Cid."
