HARVARD GI.EE CLUB TRIP.
Much interest has been occasloned by
the recent petition of the Harvard Uni
versity Glee club for a western trip
during the Christmas holidays. The
Harvard faculty forbade the trip last
winter, but it was hoped that this year
the vote might be reconsidered. A few
days ago, however, at their regular
weekly meeting the faculty voted not
to allow the trip this year. 1t is pos
sible that a new petition will be put
before the faculty for shorter trip,
to include the small cities of New Eng
land and New York city The petition
regarding the trip of the Hasty Pud-
ding club has not yet been presented.

| YALE'S FOOTBALL CAPTAIN
| Contrary to the custom of electing
the captain for the succeeding year i'm
mediately after the great game, he has
| not yet been named. The cause of the
| delay is uncertainty as to whether
| Clarence Fincke 81, who played quar-
| ter this year, will return for a post
| graduate course. AS he has only play
| ed three years he would be eligible I'M
| der Yale's rules. His most dangerous
| competitor is Rodgers, this years
| tackle, who may win in any event.
| Both men deserve the honor. F'incke
was a candidate last year, and gave
| Murphy a close race.
