Three unidentified undergraduates, in a glorious attempt to chop down the Eli goal-posts under cover of night after the game Saturday, ended up in the New Haven brig under charges of trespassing and attempted vandalism.
Armed with axes and spurred on by a wave of alcoholic enthusiasm, the three patriots climbed over all obstacles only to run into an ambush of Yale watchmen. The cops held on with bulldog ferocity, and finally escorted the miscreants to jail, where they remained until after midnight.
After much telephoning, explaining, and pleading, they were released from captivity by a high Yale athletic official, who remarked, "Tell Bill Bingham what a good guy I am."
