The Freshman Eleven was defeated
by Phillips Andover Academy at
Andover on October 22, by a score of
11 to 0. The field was very slippery,
thus preventing the Freshmen from
using their end plays with effect. An-
dover’s superior weight in the line gave
her a decided advantage, and secured a
touchdown in the first half. In the
second half the Freshmen held the An-
dover team until the very end of the
half, when Davis made a forty-five-yard
run for a touchdown. Gould, Abbott,
Adams and Ferguson played the best
game for the Freshmen.

Yale’s Share $100,000.
The decision of the New York Court
of Appeals recently in the Osborn will
case, which throws out of court the
appeal to set the will aside, would seem
to be final. Yale’s share of the resid-
uary estate, and which should soon
come to her, will not fall below $100,000.
TROOP A IN THE FIELD.
[Continued from 45th page.]|
probably worse than the average trans-
port that went to Porto Rico, which
is saying a good deal. A thousand
horses and mules occupied every avail-
able foot of space on the two upper
decks and a great deal that was unfit
to put any living thing in. The suffer-
ing of these patient animals must have
been great and it is a wonder that only
one or two died. In the hold were the
bunks for the 1,100 troops. These con-
sisted of canvas hammocks hung in two
tiers from heavy. studs 18” on centers,
rows about ten feet apart. Every inch
of space was used—no passage ways
were left, so that, with the kits, saddles,
arms, etc., all piled on the floor, and the
hammocks filled with men, navigation
became somewhat difficult. It does not
half describe the situation to say that
the vessel was entirely without convoy,
that the life-boats would hold only
about one-fifth of those on board, that
no life-preservers were visible and that
the hay on the decks caught on fire
five times;—nor that the water was very
warm and very dirty and very scarce,
so scarce in fact that there was much
suffering from thirst and some of the
horses were without it for thirty hours.
With all of this there was plenty of
good clear water in the tanks, for when,
as a grand finale of this interesting
voyage, the boat ran aground in the
harbor of Ponce, some two hundred
tons of it were pumped overboard to
lighten the ship. 3
LIFE IN PORTO RICO.
Of army life in Porto Rico, and of
the character of the country and natives,
so much has been said in the papers,
that description here is unnecessary.
Troop A was encamped close to the
town of Ponce and with B Troop of the
second Regular Cavalry formed Gen.
Miles’ body-guard. For nearly three
weeks excitement ran high with the
thought of approaching fighting, till
the peace protocol was signed and the
men wept with disappointment. It now
became Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
To be sure many delightful expeditions
were made in _ different directions
throughout the island, to Juanadias and .
Coamo, Adjuntas and Utuado, but there
was no spice in them, though one de-
tachment had some exciting and narrow
escapes at Ceales and Lares. It was
most exasperating to have one’s finger
fairly itching on the trigger and then
to hear the order, “Recover Arms!”
On September 2d we embarked for
home on the “Mississippi.” The voy-
age was delightful, as all conditions
were greatly improved, and with better
Government rations, supplemented with
good things from private contributions,
there was nothing to complain of.
We reached New York on the morn-
ing of September 10, marched from the
Battery to the Armory through crowds
that shouted themselves hoarse with as
much enthusiasm as if we had won the
baseball pennant, and then were dis-
missed on a sixty-day furlough. When
on the 11th of November we are mus-
tered out of Uncle Sam’s service, Troop
A, New York Volunteer Cavalry, will
be a thing of the past.
Our sick report has been large, but
below the average. Lew Conner, Dick
Manning and E. V. Cox, all had typhoid
fever at Camp Alger and missed the
Porto Rican expedition, and Amos Pin-
chot, George Adee, and Billy Williams
are only now out of danger from the
same disease, contracted in Porto Rico.
Probably no organization furnished
such a large proportion of officers as
Troop A, nearly 20 per cent. getting
commissions. Beekman Hoppin went
into the Regular Artillery as Second
Lieutenant, but transferred to the In-
fantry so as to get to the front. He
is now in Cuba.
Dunn McKee became a _ Second
Lieutenant in the Signal Corps and got
a staff appointment. Frank Polk was
made Quartermaster with rank of Cap-
tain and distinguished himself for his
ability on Gen. Ernst’s staff, while
Frank Harrison was made a Captain
and secured a staff appointment. But
Billy Williams made the biggest jump,
being made Commissary with rank of
Major.

Obituary.
CHARLES F. ROCKWELL, EX-’QI S.
News has recently been received of
the death in March, 1897, in the island
of Cuba of Charles Farnam Rockwell,
ex-’gI S.
Mr. Rockwell went to Cuba in Au-
gust, 18096, sailing on the “Three
Friends.” His family knew nothing of
his plans and his departure was a com-
plete surprise to them. Their first
word from him was a letter which he
wrote after he had landed near Bahia
Honda. In this letter he said he had
joined the insurgent army and was
Lieutenant of Artillery, attached to a
company handling a dynamite gun near
Pinar del Rio. Nothing more was
heard from him. Last Summer, when
the wife of one of the American. naval
officers went to join her husband in
Cuban waters, she promised the family
to look for him. On landing, she met
a Cuban officer, who said that he had
come to the island on the same expedi-
tion with Lieut. ;Rockwell and that he
was with him until he died. He said he
was buried a few miles from Pinar del
Rio. A slight fever, following the
great hardships he had undergone, had
resulted in his death. The Cuban who
gave this information described Rock-
well very accurately. He said that he
himself was the last survivor of the
party that came on the “Three Friends,”
on which there had been four Ameri-
cans.
Mr. Rockwell was in College for
about half of Freshman year. After
that he was in different business posi-
tions in New York and Cincinnati. He
was at the time a member of the Calu-
met Club. Mr. Rockwell was the son
of Dr. William H. Rockwell of New
York and was born in Brattleboro, in
1869. A brother, Dr. William H.
Rockwell, Jr., was graduated at Yale
in the Class of Eighty-Nine.
