Residents Attack Four Yalemen in Sudden Outbreak

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 27--Four unprovoked attacks upon Yale students within the past week have marked a sudden outbreak of bitter "town-gown" relationships.

First an undergraduate was stabbed. The next day an ex-Marine assaulted a student. Last night a junior and a grad student were jumped by mobs of attackers.

John J. Gill, superintendent of Yale police last night warned students "to try to keep on the alert but if cornered, call for help . . . and fight." At the same time the Yale Daily News compiled a list of eight danger spots in New Haven streets.

"Damn Yalie"

In the first incident, Donald A. Gray, a senior, was stabbed and slashed as he was going home. An unidentified man rushed after him, calling him a "damn Yalie." They fought, and after cutting Gray on the hip, the attacker field.

The second of the victims, Gregory Tice, was assaulted by an ex-Marine late Friday night.

"I don't like people who go to Yale," the assailant said, and proceeded to cut up and knock down Tice in a short tussle.

Last night about 8 p.m. Michael M. Conroy was surrounded near Yale's Berkeley College as he went to the library. One attacker seized his tie from behind and shouted, "It's a Yalie, get him."

The New Haven youths punched Conroy, and then threw him against a car. By that time other students were running to the scene, and the attackers field.

Twenty minutes later Sheltor B. Hicock was attacked by what the Yale News described as "slew of hoodlums, who answered the same description given by Conroy." Hicock ran away from the group. While suffering no injury, he was reported as "shaken up."
