YALE SOCCER PLAYERS EAT SUGAR TO INCREASE ENERGY

Peppermint candy and tea were fed the Yale soccer team at its game last Saturday with Pennsylvania. The novel diet was introduced by Professor Yandell Henderson, Professor of Applied Physiology, in the hope that the increased amount of sugar that was introduced into the blood by the candy would find its outlet in increased energy in all the men during the second half.

The experiment would seem to have been unsuccessful inasmuch as the Elis failed to recoup their fallen fortunes even after the sugar had been injected, but the stimulating effects were clearly noticeable, and it was held that the defeat was due more to the strength of the opposing team, than to the absence of potency in the sugar.
