FOX HUNTING SEASON GETS NOCTURNAL START IN YARD

Starting training early for the fox-hunting season, fifty foreseeing Freshmen shattered century-old traditions of "Ye College Yard," Harvard Yard, and whatever it may have been in the meanwhile, by staging a drag-hunt there last night with hounds from the Norfolk Hunt Club.

The fact that it was 10.30 and quite dark did not slacken the speed of the canine streaks of lightning. They went by smell, and when they came to the deceitful tracks of some pedestrian they often went off the track. But it was not long before shouts from Freshmen, cunningly stationed at strategic positions about the Yard, put them back on.

The finish was as sudden as the start. The hounds were hustled into a truck and carried off; the Yard became quite as ever.
