New Haven, November 7, 1925--In the balloting, at Yale, under the auspices of the Yale Daily News; on the subject of compulsory chapel, the opponents of the traditional service as a compulsory act won a clean-cut victory. The returns, which included almost 85 percent of the student body, showed that 1472 had voted against the continuance of compulsory chapel, while only 204 voted for it.
