ALEXANDER OLIVER YOUNG. 1 L. S.

Alexander Oliver Young. 1 L. S. died at five o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Massachusetts General Hospital. On Sunday evening he was not feeling well, and during the night was taken seriously ill. The doctors, on Monday morning, pronounced the illness to be appendicitis and advised instant removal to the hospital. He was taken to the Massachusetts General and Monday noon an operation was successfully performed, so that on Tuesday the doctors had good hopes of his recovery. On Wednesday, however, his condition changed and he sank gradually until yesterday afternoon when he died.

He was born March 17. 1871, the son of Rev. A. H. Young D. D. of Newark, N. J. He graduated in 1892 with high honors from Princeton. At college he was a member of Clio Hall and in 1889 he played on the Princeton 'Varsity nine. in his short course at Harvard he did not make a large number of acquaintaces out side his courses and the Story Club, of which he was a member, as he devoted himself to his studies and was naturally of a retiring disposition.

The freshman nine received a serious setback yesterday in the disqualification of its strongest pitcher. Coming as it does the day before the Princeton game, the nine is totally unprepared and the team which Harvard will put into the field will be considerably altered in its make-up. An accident of this kind invariably disturbs the work of the nine as a whole and we shall be suprised if under the circumstances the freshmen meet with success. However, we extend to them our heartiest good wishes If victory comes to them, the men may well feel proud of their record; it will be a triumph over odds which will increase the satisf action of winning. If they loose, there will be still another chance to even up the honors and the defeat should be hut a spur to greater effort.
