NO CHALLENGE YET.
Yale Has Not Invited Cornell to Row
at New London.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 23.-The statement
in New York morning raper, in effect that
Yale islands ready TO challenge the Cornell
crew to race at New London next spring.
created a stir on the Yale campus this morn
ing.
Captain Payne Whitney and Coach Robert
eooit iteid ronstit tirc subject anu
at the conclusion Mr.. Cook said:
"The statement that Yale has arrived at
any definite decision relative TO inviting Cor
mol toFrow at New iIondon is false. We have
not done so. So far as have been able 10
ascertain, the undergraduate sentiment at
Yale is in favor of n race with Cornell. but
have not thoroughly canvassed the university
and am not yet ready 20 make the bold state
ment that the unanimous sentiment here is
in favor of rowing the Ithacans.
I'VE are now corresponding with the New
London Board OF Trade and cannot make
any plans for meeting Cornell till we eett-
clude our negotiations with the New London
era. As to Harvard wishing 20 meet Cornell at
Now london, know nothing Of that matter"
Captain Whitney stated that. in addition to
endorsing Mr. Cooks remarks he had nothing
TO say. He admits that Yale wishes to row at
New London. if possible, and is willing 10
meet Cornell If satisfactory arrangements can
be made, but also denies that any decision rel
ative TO inviting Cornell has been reached at
Yale.
