 College reopens to-day with the chapel exercises. Reeitations commence at noon.
 Under the new faculty rule the gaieties of the winter term must occur within the first two weeks. This year, therefore the early portion of the term will be lively than usual and less work will be done.
 The candidates for the various athletic teams for the spring sports will commence work at once. all though the severe and steady work of training will not commence until after the promenade.
 For the nine the outlook Is very encouraging and barring the unexpected the championship on the diamond will probably remain with Yale. staRg and Damn will doubtless have capable change bat tery this year and the freshman class is said to promise some good material Work will begin in the cage by next week. Yale will be strong at base ball again this year.
 The outlook for the Mott Haven team, though by no means as high as that of the nine is certainly gone to be sure, but the Athletic association is yearly taking more prominent position and gen eral athletics are receiving more and more atten. tion at Yale each year. Captain Lane will put forth every ezertion to send at least creditable Attention is turred with the most solicitation to
 the crew. The doubt whether several of last years champion eight will row or not and the reported lack of good new material have aroused the fears and hopes or the university The race next June will be an important one, Yale and Harvard have each won an equal number of races and in view oi the recent talk of race between an American ano an English university eight. Though this proposi ton is not very likely to come to head this year it may be set down as certain that before many years crew from Yale or Harvard will meet crew from Oxford or Cambridge, i. e., winner vs
 crew in such event are excellent and as the rac would be international one there is little doub but that the American representatives would re ceive national support. For this years crew thu
 university puts great confidence in Captain Steven son, and hopes to see the blue in the van at Nev London next June.
