Arrangements for the Boat Race
and Tennis Tournament.


and Tennis Tournament.
All arrangements have now been per-
fected for the rowing regatta and lawn ten
mis- tournament Saturday afternoon and
they both promise to be very successful.
Schiffmann will probably not row in the
senior singles, he wishing to wait until an
investigation has been made in regard to
his last race with Stone. This event will
lose none of its interest on this account,
however, as Norman Wright, who is con-
sidered better scuIler than the doctor, will
surely pull against the Lurline man.
