marks from different persons, committee

that they would take the matter In charge
and carry on the club the same as '02 had
done. Il was also stated that '93 must sure
ly have someone at the rooms Of the club
every night in the week, because II they fall

The report that Thomas g. Shesrmsn, who
IL now taking . postgraduate course, was

Captain Allen will refuse the challenge
sent by Cornell few days ago to row Yale
four miles % Yale's convenience. Mr.. Shell
don, president of the navy, stated that Yale
intended to row only Harvard this year.
This action is not taken without the
advice and sanction of former cap.
tains of the Yale crew and those
graduates who have the rowing interests
- Wi a. Rob
and other prominent Yale boating men have
advised Yale to row only Harvard. The
tendency for the last few years has been
toward this dual league on the water. II
the challenge were accepted from Cornell,
challenges from other colleges would be re-.
ceived and have to be accepted also, and this
oourse would be going back to the state of
Affairs before rs. Harvard and Yale then
found 1t most expedient and wise to "fock
Yale race has been proved, and all the other
races at New London are regarded a. side
issues.
Columbia, Princeton, University of Penn
sylvania and Cornell will form boating
league this year. Yale and Harvard will be
invited to Join, but will undoubtedly decline.
II IL thought In boating circles that Columbis
will defeat Cornell this year.
Harvard's board of athletic advisers have
adopted the rule that hereafter Harvard shall
engage In athletic contests In New England
only. This action practically limits Hsrvard'f
contests to Yale, and Harvard will withdraw
from the base ball league this year and from
the Mott Haven association next season.
