Cornelrs recent defeat Of tho uni.
versIty OF Pennsylvania IN four mile
boat race has received the discussion
OF Yale's refusal TO row Cornell. aud
many lovers OF manfinees and true
spoftsmanship are beginning TO CEN
sure the New Haven boys for what has
the appearance OF something more
than exelusiveness. Cornell has an
unrivailed record on the water; It
holds the worlds records for one and
q half and three miles. Its crews have
an unbroken line OF victories for ten
years, ana the last time they met Yale,
the latter was defeated. Oxford has
recognized the justice OF Cornelrs
claim to the American championship,
and has told Yale that she must first
defeat Cornell before size can hope to
arrange racs with the English uni
ver-ities for the championship OF the
that she has received her ultimatum
from Oxford is an unanswered ques-
tion. That she wants to test her skill
with the EnEliehmen 10 acknowledged
by Fob Cook, the Yale coach. but now
that the only way for her to accom-.
plish this is first TO defeat Cornell,
places the New Haven University In n
OF being dictated 10. and just how she
will conduct herself under this drawn
rein is a matter OF great speculation
The Philadelphia papers think that
Yale is afraid to meat Cornell The
Ledger says.
Every noh-partisan who saw Sat-
urday's race. believes that Cornell ID
the fastest crew Ia the worli, and this
may he the reason why Yale will not
row Cornell. Every man who ever
.sat In Yale boat knows that Yale has
had no very hard work to defeat Hair

much OF a rowing reputation. Court
