COURTNEY TO 60 TO HARvARn
The Great Cornell Coach 20 Join Forces
Agatnst Yale.


Against Yale.
ITHACA. Sept. 11.--Cornell admirers will very
likely be astonished to learn that Courtney
has probably coached his last Cornell crew.
While Il has been whispered about all last
summer that he was liable to 60. It was
thought that perhaps matters could be ar
ranged to euithim 80 that he would stay. but
recent events point to his severing his connec-
tion with the Cornell navy. 1t has been tho
custom here to pay the coaches salary by sub
scription among the students. This year
Courtney refused to sign a contract unless 1t
was with the university faculty. Common re-
port has 1t that this matter was brought
up before the Board OF Trustees. WHO thought
very fsvorably OF placing Courtney on the sal
airy list. but to that President Schurman OBJ
jected SO strongly that the matter was dropped.
For the past two months Courtney has no;
ceived many letters from the navy officials OF
the different colleges in relation to engaging
bis services as coach. among them being the
University OF Wisconsin, Leland Stanford. JE.
California. and last but not least, Harvard. i
Is not generally known that while the Cornell

he would incline toward them.
night and asked MIN which. college he would

nell. lie said: a,
would like very much to remain. but circum-
stances seem to conspire against 1t. II leave

ing to Harvard whether engage with Cornell
or not. have been in correspondence with

Reyes and Capt. Davis. ! shall stay at Har-

there shall sign at least three years con-
tract with them, will, however, sign no con
tract with any other college until am posi-
tive that will not remain at Cornell"
WIN you state frankly whether 1t is prob
able that you will stay"
chances Of my going to Harvard are very
strong. Even II ! don't go there ! have z
dozen other offers in my pocket. but think 1t
will be Harvard. / may. however. conclude to
take the foremanship OF Waters Company's
boat shop ut Troy"
Several prominent Cornell men have been In
the city trying to save Courtney to the uni
versity. The only chance now left is to have
him accept the superintendency Of the steam
heating plant OF the university. but putting
two and two together 1t looks as though Har-
ward had captured the prize;
The only consolation the Cornell men get II
Courtney goes will be the pleasure of having
Harvard beat Yale, as they think she will
surely do II she secures Courtney's services.
