New University A. G. to Appoint
an Athletic Committee.
Yale and Harvard Crews Preparing
for the Great Race.

The Athletic Committee OF the new Uni
versity Athletic club will be appointed next
Monday. IL has been q source OF wonder al
most ever since this club was organized dur
ing the Winter Just what its athletic policy
would be. The organizers OF the Club didn't
seem TO know themselves, and were not sure
just how deep into athletics they wanted to
go. Perhaps the appointment OF an Athletic
Committee next week may serve to inform

been heard all along about the eight that will
wear the blue. The secretive policy adopted
by the men at the New Haven seat OF learn

now in Great Britain, speaks very highly OF
his treatment in the United states. Some
