This fact has been thor oughly demonstrated to lovers OF the autumn pastime season after season by the repeated defeats of aggregatons apparently much stronger than the victorious elevens. Aside from the defeat of the Yale Bulldog at the hands of Washington and Jefferson, q college that has stu dent body OF scarcely more than 400 young men, the. victory of Cornell over Harvard, and the drubbing ad ministered Dartmouth by the Prince ton Tigers, the games in which elevens of the South Atlantic Division participated were also franght with some surprises.
