The Harvard Crimson in a recent sue

its annual oyerwhelming victory over the

Lumpoon's representatives. have recently
had secret practise and have lcen hating
consistently, the certainty Of a tTtT on
victory is, as usual, unusually certain.

game in this way.
The Harvard BulieHn published hy the
athletic association of Harvard graduates,
has an authoritative" word TO say on the
Tlley affair in correction with the Harvard
Cornell lOat race. " II was | ad enough
TO lie 'eatcn as We were eaten in the foat
race with Cornell, says the BuUffln, but
certain other events connected with the race
make it even more distressing. Ii appears
that on the day efure the race Capt, Fill
ley and Mr.. Courtney tossed for courses
Capt, Filley won. Instead of choosing
his course at that time, he said he would
defer until later, and then until the dav Of
the race. so that he might take advantage
of the conditions which prevailed at the
time the crews went to the starting point.
Mr.. Courtney protested vigorously against
this procedure, as II would give his crew
no opportunity To row over the particular
course which II wa to have in the
race. on Friday evening Capt:
Fillev told Mr. Courtney that Harvard
would give UP whatever advantage it had
acquired 10y winning the toss and that
Cornell might choose which course to row
in. This was the lest fiey could do. the
trouble was that it was then too late for
Cornell to row over any course.
There was probably little difference
between the two COURSES on the Charles,
but that point is comparatively luim-
portant, The striking thing is that when
we had the Cornell crew here rs guests
we acted so that we appeared 70 10 taking
every advantage we could. Our conduct
seems the more unfortunate when it is
compared with the treatment our crews
have received at Ithaca when they have
gone there TO row. The Cornell men have
taken our men out in their launch: have
shown them courses and then said: Choose
whichever YOU want. We have reason to
think that Filley was not primarily respon-
sible for the position that he took but that
he was guided by Mr.. Wray, whose previous
experience had been with professional
crews and oarsmcn.
IAN in all, the circumstances corrected
with saturdays race are not agreeable to
reflect upon We see Harvard insisting
upon all her rights "a if the race was 10 I've
rowed by bitter enemies instead Of old
friends. After the race Mr. Courtney
talked as follows to n reporter: The mon
jim the Harvard crew. were n fire looking
lot and GOOD looking enough to row for
the worlds champion ship, but their tutoring
must hnve been on the dory order, for learn
that Wray was fisherman in Australia.
Wrav has the egotsm to believe that we
should copy the style of the bushran gers of
the artipoces.'
IF these facts do not throw n very ilum-
mating beam on the differences between
graduate and professional coz ching, the
RuVo'in is mistaken. We shall he sur
nrsch to learn that Cornell men approve Of
Mr.. 'ourtreys utterances. We know that
Harvard men are sorry for the Incident
connected with the tossing for courses
