Ithaca, n. Y, Feb 19.-The excitement
attending the meeting of the athletic
council has considerably subsided, and
everyone is anxiously awaiting the de-
cision Of Harvard and Yale on Cornells
request that this years intercollegiate
races be merged into one race. The an
pouncsment that Yale was to be one Of
Cornell's antagonists this year has had
marked effect on the crew, all the men,
bers feeling that there is great additional
reason for their doing everything pos

Up TO date 1766 goals have been won by
the five teams that comprise the National
Polo League. 1t is now in order for some
crank to ascertain the number of miles

New Bedford patrons are pretty sore on
