1t would seem that the men who are bet
ting at long odds on the Columbia In its
race with the Shamrock have a harder grip
on the forelock of time than Is absolutely
necessary. The greatest odds, we believe,
were 10 to 2. Patriotism and a well
grounded belief in the presidents Of the last
nifty years clone could have prompted such
wagers. There is absolutely no really salts
factory way at present of comparing the
Shamrock whh the Columbia in regard to
speed. When the day comes that yachts,
like horses, may be judged on past form and
yachtsmen keep a dope book, then will
yachting lose the charm OF complete uncer-
tainty shat II now possesses. Until the
Columbia and Shamrock meet in actual COM
bat off Sandy Hook no one will know which
boat is the faster; neither will there be any
satisfactory means Of comparison until then.
Wasers made now are blindfold bets.

Yale men are anxiously awaiting the re-
turn from England of Mr.. Walter Camp.
who went over with the Yale athletic teams.
Mr.. Camp was expected home about August
l, but he has not yet returned. Until his
arrival nothing more can be done in re-
gard to the movement that was begun just
after college closed. to place Yale athletics
on some new and practical basis. 1t will
he remembered that it was then suggested
that Mr.. Camp be made supervisor OF
athletics and be given a chair in the Yale
faculty.
Since this scheme was proposed Mr.,
Camp has officially stated that he will not
accept any position that is merely that OF
an athletic supervisor. He has said en-
phatically that nothing can induce him to
give up his business for a position that
would make him a sort OF athletic trainer,
Despite this statement Of Mr.. Camps. there
are some Yale men who still cherish the
hope that Mr.. Camp can be prevailed upon
to accept some position in connection with
the executive department OF Yale that will
give him a place In the faculty which will
be diguifed and which will at the same
time give him time to exercise a sort OF
supervision over all branches OF sport at
Yale.
President-elect Hadly has been appealed
to in connection with this scheme and has
