YALE NOTES.
PuHsr, she Runaer, TO Enter Yale
Prof. Phelpa' Coming Lectures on
Eshies OF the Eaw-New York Yale
Hens BaEquee-ROwinE ut Yale-A
Glance over the Last Ten Years.
r. G. Puffer, the well known runner of the
New Jersey Athletic club, will enter Yale
this coming fall. He will be . great acquisi-
ton to the intercollegiate athletic team in
'01.
Several members of the senior elective Law
class met at the Yale News Office yesterday
afternoon TO arrange q suitable hour for lee.
on Fridays during the term by Prot. e. ].
Phelps. This course of lectures is given in
the Law school, but Prof. Phelps invited
members of the senior academic law claes to
attend them, and said he would try and find
some suitable hour il there was any conf1ic!
of studies at the hour first decided upon,
namely, at IL q. m. Very many wish to take
advantage Of this opportunity, and at the
meeting IL was decided that the noon hour
would be most convenient to the students,
providing 1t IL acceptable to Prof. Phelps.
The Yale Alumni association of New York
will hold its annual dinner at Delmonicois OIL
Friday evening, with Chauncey II. Depew as
''arbiter bibendi." Several men from last
years football team, crew, base ball team and
athletic team win be present. The menus
will be printed on small blue elk flags that
are attached to miniature oars. The oarl
were cut from the elm trees that stood on the
corner of the campus.
Probably no athletic sport has received
more attention for the last ten years than
rowing. Certainly none has had more in
genuity expended in methods of training
than rowing. 1t is not many years ago thai
crews at Yale during the winetr months
rowed with the old fashion rowing arrange
mems that can be seen on the first floor Of
the gymnasium, . seat that slides in grooves
and a handle for the hands, to which Z
heavy weight was attached. With thes,
appliances 1t was a. much work to slids
up - It was to take the stroks. tn.
crews of "a, '65 and '66 were blessed with
the hydraulic machines, They were 90 Rrea
an Improvement over the old appliances thai
they gave entire satisfaction until 81. Tn.
by draulic machines enabled the men to prac
tice quick recover, the finish of the atroke
and in fact all the motions necessary TO q
good stroke. In 81, however, Q great stroke
Was made by building in the basement of the
gymnasium the rowing tank at presen. In
use. Many predicted . total failure for THU
scheme but its success 10 proved, and nov
Yale ceuld not get along without her tank
Tie 81 crew had many difficulties to con.
tend with, as they were the FIRST to try the
new scheme, and of course many defects
were found. In the first place an old shell
tank, being held in position by ropes. The
blades of the oars were all Of full size and
the pressure of the water was 80 great tina,
every day an oar or two would crack. Final
ly the oars were cut 30 that the water could
rush through triangular hole In the blade.
The next step WAS to make division of the
tank 20 that q flowing current was made
when the crew was rowing. Last year Q
stationary box was put in instead
OF the old shell. All the difficulties were
solved then except the back wash of water
for No. 8. Besides, quick stroke could net
be taken owing to the large volume of water
where the oar 10 dipped in. This year Cap.
tain Allen has remodeled the tank and has
overcome the last difficulty. A second par
tition was placed in the tank % that the oar
10 now dipped into large trough through
which the water fows easily, and now the
crew can row Q very quick stroke With abou.
the same pressure - would be put on in q
shell out on the harbor.
ANNUAL WINTER CONCERT By TEE GLKE CLUB.
The annual winter concert Of the Yale
Glee and Banjo clubs will be given at the
Hyperion on next Monday evening, January
20. As has been the custom for the past

to one box or ten seats. This auction will be
held in the Hyperion next Friday, beginning
promptly at 1:30 p. m and the bonus de-
rived from 1t will be given to the Yale Uni
versity Boat club.

The trouble as sheG. About che Pur-
ehase.of Matthews sical Inssruments.
There IL considerable trouble at present in
the Sheffield Scientific school concerning
mathematical instrumental, reference to
which was made In the CoURrxR some time
ego. Last fall Prof. Honey and Prof. Lay
ton, who have charge of drawing, told the
members of the senior and junior Glasses
who take drawing to procure the necessary
mathematical Instruments at Roessler's. Ac-
cording to the students the professors re.
ceive q percentage or have soms remunera-
ton for all the trade that IL sent by them to
the New Haven optician, but this Ii not
verified and Ia not probably sustained by the
facts. b. 8. Carpenter 81 s.. whose father
IL . manufacturer OF mathematical instru-
ments a. Wiliimantic, proposed to furnish
some of his fellow students with q full Get at
price much lees thaa was charged by
Roeeeler. Many took advantage of this op.
portanity and purchased their instruments of
Carpenter.
When the professors saw the instruments
they declared them detective and not suitable
for zoe mathemetieAl work although the
students could zee no difference whateve1
between their instruments and those manu-
factured by Roesaler. Nevertheless the pro
fessors ordered the students to procure new
Instruments and refused to hear the elias
until the order Was complied with. Yester.
day the boys did not 20 to recitation ct nj
because Of the refusal of the instructors Il
hear them in recitaaion. The students de
clare that they-wilf not purchase new instru
ments Of Roeoler and It seems very probable
that they viii carry their point. The faculty
meeting was held Last night and the mattel
wns probably settled there. The outcome Il
mot yet known.
