YALE.
New Haven. Conn. Dec. 5-The two important
events OF the week have been the Harvard debate
and the rowing challenge 20 Cornell. The victory
over Harvard for the third consecutive time Is a
source of considerable satisfaction, when It is re-
membered that Harvard just regularly
from Yale few years ago. The turning Of the
tables shows the position which debating holds at
Yale to-day. as well as the permanency of the re-
v!va Of three years ago The contest itself brought
forth some OF the best speaking that has yet been
heard In intercollegiate debate. and was marked
throughout by the excellence OF rebuttal.
The rowing challenge TO Cornell expresses exact
~ the sentiment of the student body. Yale chal-
lenges Cornell TO a fourmie race between the Uni
versty crews at New London some time next June
the date TO be reckoned from the day set for the
Yale-Harvard event. Yale would prefer triangu-
defers TO Cornes objection 10 a triangular race
at New-London As Mr.. Cook and Captain Whit
ney are both In favor of the New-London course
and very much opposed to the Poughkecpse course
two races al NewLondon-one with Harvard and
the other with Cornell-seem 10 be the natural
solution Of the problem. Yale Is utterly opposed
to the Poughkeepsie course. Cornells predisposl-
ton a triangular race al Poughkeepsle may take
precedence In the negotiations however. owing 10
Yae's extreme desire 10 with Cornell this
year at any cost. The latters obligations TO Co
lumbia and Pennsylvania are appreciated which
might entail the perhaps unfair arrangement OF
for Cornell at Poughkeepse with Column
bia and Pennsylvania. who do not wish TO row at
New-London. and another race with Yale at New
London. who has found the PorghkecpSie course
also. Cornell could not meet Harvard without row
