The outlook for the crew at present is |
most discouraging. At present |
it looks as if there would be but one,
Captain Brewster, of the old crew,
in the boat this year. Ives has been
forbidden to enter a boat by New York
owing to enlargement of the
heart, and that will make another for the
list of disabled Yale athletes. Ives strained 4
that organ before entering college and
rowed all last year, which helped material
~ in aggravating the trouble. He surely
will not row this year, but it is thought he
will be able to appear next year safely,
Trouble never comes singly, and the sit
uation is even worse than ever from the
fact that Simms has also been warned by
his physician to be careful. There is not
much doubt but he also will give up train
ing. This will leave the crew in very
crippled condition and practically the
eight will have to be chosen from new ma
teria1.
Much influence has been brought to bear
upon Hartwell, urging him to begin train
ing, but as yet he has not complied. He
feels that if he once gets in the course
again it will mean that two years work in
one of study will be impossible. But it is
not at all unlikely he will finally yield to
the weight of arguments brought to bear
by CAPTAIN Brewster and others immedi-
ately interested in the success of the crew,
and appear in his old position. The can
didates are all working hard and there are
a few cases of illness among them, none,
however, serious.
A largely attended meeting of the senior
class was held last evening in Lyceum for
for the purpose of e1ecting senior prom

junior promenade committee, presided.
The result was as follows: Allen G. Rob-
inson chairman, st. John, Walter McClin-
tock, Albert Lee, Gushing, Lockett, Bunce,
Morse and Barnes.
Directly after this meeting, the Sophie
mores gathered in the same room, with
Parsons 1913 in the chair. Ives offered the
following resolution, and it was unani-
mously carried:
Whereas. The sentiments of the Sopho-
more class are in opposition to any dis
turbance on Washington's birthday, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the
sophomore class refrain from any disturb
ance on that day.
If the freshmen pass a similar resolu-
ton, as they doubtless will, the faculty
will grant whole holiday on the 23d, as
reward.
The Shelf freshman have passed the fol
lowing resolution:
Whereas, The sentiment of the fresh
man class of the Sheffield scientific school

freshmen class, refrain from any disturb.

expressed wishes of the faculty.
From the above steps taken by the two
classes it would seem that the memorable
day is destined to be quite devoid of those
in years past; but one thing is certain,
the freshmen will show in more ways than
one their appreciation of the new found
