Japanese wrestling Art to He Taught
Next Year.
The art of jiu Jitsu will be taught at
Harvard university next year, and
Harvard men VIM can afford 500 for
the privilege can learn as much about
this science is they desire, says a spe-
cfal dispatch from Cambridge to the
New York Tribune Their instructor
will be Professor Y. Yamashita Of To-
kyo.
Ever since the first Of last winter the
crimson students have been greatly
interested ii the art OF Japanese wres-
Ting and jiu jitsu through two little
japanese students, Y Tagi ana G. Yo-
koyama, who have appeared at regular
intervals throughout the winter and
wrestled for exercise on the gymna-
stun floor. George Il. Lewis, an Amer
lean boy and the roommate OF Tagi,
has also wrestied with them. so that
undergraduates have had good
chance to see how one Of their own
| kind succeeds with the art
Each of these three wrestIers is en-
| thusiastic about the sport. and 1t Is
largely through their efforts and inter-
est that the university has been given
the opportunity to have regular skilled
instruction in jiu Jitsu next year.
All the japanese students at Harvard
are Interested in the coming OF Pro
fessor Yamashita to Cambridge next
fall. and inasmuch as all Of them are
youngsters who stand well Up socially
the new sport Is being taken up as
fad by all the wealthier students in the
university. OF the forty boys who 50
far have signified their intention to re-
ceive instruction In the art next year
by far the greater number come from
Mount Auburn street, from the region
Of Clayerly hall and the other palatlal
private dormit0ries. This Is an impor-
tant feature in the introduction Of any
/, sport at Harvard. to have it immedi-
ately adopted by the most influential
and leading men.
