SCHOOL GIRLS WRITE TO YALE.

The Romance of shc Yale Record Kd-
 itors A Surprise to the Seniors -
 Princesen's View of she Yale Game.
 In the issue of the Yale record of February 15 there appeared an article headed "An- other Champion" It was witty "take-off" on tho challenges sent by Cowell to Yale for boat race. The last number of the Record contained an editorial in answer to several anony nous letters which had been written from New York in regard to the articles in .he previous number.
 The affair has finally proved to be little escapade of few boarding school girls In the metropolis. The fair ones are probably ds- irving great amount of amusement out of their little game, which has been cleverly conducted from beginning to end. We msy expect te see in next weeks record . sharp reply that will put even . frolicsome board ing school girl at her wits end to answer. It is suggested that 1t would be grand idea for the editors of the Yale Record to attend some one of the performances of "The Sem ator" in New York in @ body. By chance they might see party of the fair maidens dressed in sailor costumes sitting near them in the theater. The mystery would then bs solved and the anonymous correspondents could not but be unmasked.
 But since the girls state they have no dates open in March 1t would be advisable per haps for the Record board to wait till after Lent is over. "Winkie'' would undoubtedly be very much pleased to sec them, as would also 0Arabella." But the pleasure that would come to the editors could not be ex- pressed in words, for their curiosity is aroused to . very high pitch.
 The profits of the Y. A. A. and Second regiment games ot last Saturday will probs- ply amount to $100. The games were suc- cess in every way.
 A few days ago surprise was given some of the seniors in the form of notices that their standing in psychology was practically nothing" Upon comparing notes 1t was found that about one-fourth of the class was warned. These notices are regarded as mere forerunners of @ sure condition in that drysst of subjects which is Imposed on the students. Tho common sentiment of the class is that psychology Is . useless, unsatisfactory and "hoofess" study, and the time is anIiously awaited for when the "evidences of Christ ianity" is to be taken up with ex-President Porter 70 that psychology may be laid on the shelf for . few weeks.

 The Harvard football candidates are being trained by Captain Cumnock already. This looks as If Harvard meant business in the tall. This same plan was adopted last year and Captain Cumnook attributes to that . great deal of the improvement in Harvard'a football team. Yale athletes however, do not put much faith in spring training for . fall football team. It is claimed that by the time the football season draws to an end the players are dull and inactive from too long continued training.
 Tho Princstonian has just issued an eight- pagsd supplement containing the official statsmsnts of both Harvard and Princeton in the late football controversy. The Princeto- nian says sditorially: "The public nature which Shis discussion hes already assumed ia deprecated by Princeton e being detrimental to the best interests of college athlstics, and therefore the graduate advisory committee and football management expressly desire no use of the Princeton statement, either In whole or in part, to bs made by the public prsss." It appsara from this that Princeton wishes to take [ different course from what she did last fall when the public press was tho first means of attack used by her. In the statement but slight reference is made to Yale. This will probably be the last 6 the difficulty to be heard of for some time.
 Hartridgs, formerly Yale 90, is sure man for position in the Harvard 'varsity boat for next June.
