ington team has improved wonderfully in

players on the team are all finished skaters
and put up one Of the most scientific games
of hockey that has been seen in this vicin-

side of the Canadian hockey teams In this
country that could hope to make any show

The Washington team, however, will not
go into the game convinced that 1t has lost
it before it has commenced, and will put up
the best fight possible under the circum-
stances. The game will be called at 8
o'clock, and skaters will not be deprived
of the use of the Ice for more than little

The Harvard Yale agreement and the
prospects of a race with Yale are the chief
topics Of conversation among the students
of Cornell University. Among the crew
men the opinion is unanimous that Cornell
should not admit Yale to the race except
under three-year agreement The more
conservative of the students and faculty
seemed to be of the opinion that Cornell
could give UP a, good deal foE q race with
Yale. Still. the prevailing tone is opposed
to admitting Yale, and If meeting were
held today such a proposition would prob
ably be voted down, but 1t may be taken
for granted that Cornell will do all in her
power to bring about race at PouSh-
keepsie, in which the eights Of Harvard.
Pennsylvania, Columbia. Yale and Cornell
should line up side by side.
Mr.. c. l.. Mordock. commodore of the
Cornell navy. said: What Cornell would
like to see would be a five-cornered race
