 Every effort will be made this year to increase the general interest in scrub crews and make the spring regatta
 more important event in the spring cal- endar. The management of the navy has therefore consented to furnish
 barges and later paper shells for the uee
 of scrub crews. This will give ample
 chance for the formation of scrub crews
 by different classes and dormtories and
 an opportunity to row to every man
 who wishes. An effort is being made to
 obtain permission from the water com
 pany to allow all the scrub crews to
 row on Lake Whitney, which will do
 away with the inconvenience and delay
 at the harbor.
 As stimulus to good work and train
 ing the following prizes will be given at hte spring regatta: To every scrub crew which wins race banners will be giv- en; to the winning scrub crew of each class cups will be given; to the winning scrub crew of the regatta larger ban ners will be given and it's name will be engraved on the Scranton challenge l cup.
 l Negotiations are being carried on be- 1 tween Yale and the University of Cali | fornia regarding a dual track meet to be held in New Haven this spring. Ar engagements have not yet been complet- ed, and it is impossible to announce at present the probable date or list of events.
 The candidates for the track team be- gan yesterday a more active season of work. Heretofore the work has been elementary and foundational in charac- ter, consisting largely in cross-country runs and walks. The idea has been to keep as many men in training as long as possible and thereby to lay the foun- dation good and broad for this and fu- ture years All the old men who have been laid off will be expected to begin active work at once.
 MT. Flanagan will have charge of the candidates for the hammer during this and next month For the present he will coach all men the gymnasium lot between 9:3O and 12 o'clock in the morn- ing and between and o'clock in the afternoon.
 The murders began work yesterday in | the gymnasium lot under the direction | of w. M Fincke 1901 s. M
 The following communication relative to the senior class supper appeared in the Yale News yesterday:
 To the Editor of the News:
 Tn to-day's News appears this notice: "The senior supper will be held at Hills Homestead, Savin Rock, on the evening of June 22."
 I want to raise my voice against this place of meeting for any function what ever of any class of Yale/men. I do not l object to Hills Homestead. I am ob- jecting to Savin Rock and I shall con- tinue to object. even if the supper were held in the best church there, could such an anomaly as church at Savin Rock be imagined
 Savin Rock is the most immoral fac tor in all the environment of Yale un- dergraduates. There is not one good el- ement in it. It stands only for the bas- est and lowest, from the point of view of the student. During the summer, I must admit, many respectable people go there and enjoy a pleasant and legiti- mate outing at the shore. With the student it is entirely different. chal- lenge any student to show that he ever went there with any other idea aside from a morbid curiosity; than that of cutting loose from all the moral re- straints which he has learned to put upon himself.
 All through our course we have been exerting our influence upon our own members and upon under -classmen to l persuade them not to go to Savin Rock. { Yet, in face of these four years of con- sistent action, we turn right about and to the student world that one of the last acts of the class of 1900 will De to hold it's annual supper at this place, the one place of all places most l abooed by eelf-respecting Yale men. If there were no other place where | .hree hundred and twenty-six men ,ould meet together and enjoy one last expression of good fellowship before :, parting I would remain silent. How 9ver, last September the National Ty- )othetae association held a most suc- ,essful banquet at the Pequot club, Norris Cove. Then there is the Young z Mems Republican club banquet hall with a capacity of five hundred plates, o completely equipped for satisfactory V uisine service and with a balcony for rchestra music and other conveniences. believe that there are other adequate : laces if they were looked for. This is my position. l want to attend ~ he annual supper of my class. l want ~
