 Every afternoon may be seen in the gym nasium short, stout young man taking exercise. That person is no other than 0. %. Gill, who is keeping his muscles in trim either as Q matter of health or for some other reason. Charley says he ii not going to TOW this year, but it seems very probable that if he is absolutely needed he may be induced to take his old place at No. 3. Hedoes not like rowing as we'll as football, and last spring when training for the crew he could be seen almost any afternoon working out football tricks with Woodruff and Corbin much to his delight and satisfaction. The 'varsity. crew this year has an exceptionally ane lot of oan- 'didatss for seats in the boat and this fact may make 1t necessary to rely on Gill. The coaching of Percy Bolton has been very bsn- ehcial and the men seem to have profited by it. Bolton Is very critical coach and Is equal to Bob Cook in detecting individual faults. Bob Cook is expected to be on hand during Easter vacation when the crew will row twice day and the positions of the men will be settled for the big race in June.
 The class day committee for go is canvass- ing the senior class for subscriptions to de- fray the expenses of the class day exercises. The class presentation exercises will take place on Friday before the commencement week unless sufficient pressure can be brought to bear on the faculty to change 1t to Monday. A member of the committee called on President Dwight and questioned him in regard to the change, but no definite answer could be obtained from him. A psti- tion will probably be circulated in the class and presented to the faculty asking for the change, for the extra expense and time wasted seems unnecessary to the seniors.
 The tug of-war team will have practice pull this evening with the Kling brothers in the gymnasium.
