Yard cops will get their first taste of Harvard-Yale competition on Thursday when, assisted by telegraph, they will attempt to literally bowl an Eli all-flatfoot team off their feet.

Officer George DePinto has gathered a five-man team which has been in strict training for several days. The patrolmen's free afternoons find them down at the bowling alleys, rolling out strike after strike as they practice for the Yale meet.

The Princeton squad, defilers of Yale's honor when they called the Blue flatfoots "sissies," have not been heard from, according to late reports from New Haven.
