Harvard Not Favorable to n Triangular
Contest Owin;, to Faults of the Course.
Boston, Dec. 4.-There has been no do
ctsion nj Harvard regarding the proposi
ton OF Yale for race with Harvard and
Cornell at New London next summer.
Captain Goodrich, of the Harvard Uni
versity crew, while. anxious to meet Cor
nell in Il boat race, has grave doubts of
the practIcability OF the proposal of a
triangular contest on the Thames
There Is II strip of about n hundred
leet of good water at New London, and.
while this is ample for dual race, Can
tain Goodrich thinks it, would not give
room for the crews. There is no aues-
ton that the Harvard-Hal race will he

Harvard will decline to- allow the contest
to be made II three. cornered one.
Coach Lehman said:
by all means we want to meet Chr
nell. craftsmanship demands that both
Yale and Harvard shall meet the winners
of last years race. OF course, Harvard
will row Yale, by virtue of it's agreement.
but we also want TO meet Cornell. If the
triangular race can he arranged. it will
