gard to Yale making overtures to enter
the four-cornered race on the Hudson.
The statement given out was to this
effect, although it was SO worded that
many took 1t to be final and to this
latter construction is due whatever OPP
position there has been raised to the
scheme among the undergraduates.
The undergraduate managers have ex-
planned the situation, and there now
seems to be no doubt that the under
graduates will ratify the action of the
managers of the navy in a mass meet
ing which will shortly be called
MUST GET PERMISSION.
Before this meeting the managers of
the navy Will have to communicate
with the Henley regatta committee in
regard 10 entering the crew and then
obtain the permission of the faculty for
the oarsmen to go abroad After all
these arrangements are made the man

approval of the unworthy.
In connection with Yale's decision to
send her eight to Henley there is an
interesting story in regard to the great
pressure which was brought to hear
On Yale to get her into the four-cor-
nered race with Pennsylvania. Har-
ward, Cornell and Columbia on tba
Hudson. Those who always have the
deciding voice in all such matters at
Yale could. if they would, tell some in
teresting stories in regard to this
certain persons knew the presence of
ale on the Hudson would more than
double the interest in this contest. and
they left no wire untouched in their
endeaVors to get Yale into the fight.
While it cannot be stated for certain
that Yale will be represented at Hen
ley in July, there is no reason to doubt
that the scheme will be carried
through, and survey Of the material
which Yale will have at her disposal
for an eight this year is therefore in
teresting. 1t will be remembered that
the coaches agreed last June that the
crew which won for Yale at New Lon
don was about as fast an eight as the
university ever had.
MAY HAVE FIVE ABSENTEEs.
When the present college year opened
1t seemed certain that Yale would have
at least five of the veterans of Arm
strongs crew in her boat this year.
This, however, will not be the case, and
instead of having only three vacant
seats W Hi, capt. IreaQWay Will prob

Capt. Armstrong, Holcemb and Dalter
were graduated in June. The other five
members of the crew-Treadway, Cross.
Beard, Longacre and I.angford-are all
in college and eligible to row again.
But ii Is feared Cross viii not row.
and it is very doubtful if Beard does.
Cross has rowed in one victorious

Cross has and feels about the same Yay

has not made up his mind definitely.
but it is more than an even chance that
he will not train for Treadway's eight. 4
This Will mean that Capt. Treadway
will have to find five new oars.
