scented.
There has been a report current about
the campus for several days that there was
prospect of a boat race with Oxford
should Yale be victorious on the Thames
next June. Captain johnson of the Yale
crew was seen last evening after the long
pull on the harbor. He said: II have
heard of the report, but 80 far as know
there ia no foundation for it whatever.
There has, to my knowledge, been no cor
respondenoe with Oxford yet. Should
Yale win next summer, and If Oxford
should challenge us, we should certainly
consider the challenge. But tits of course
impossible to say now what action would
be taken"
