The relations between Harvard and

exceedingly friendly, as evidenced by
the selection of w. NJ. Meikleham OF
Columbia as referee for the Harvard
Yale race during the past few years.
Tho race tomorrow will be referred by
Julian w. Curtis of Yale, who has been
prominent in Yale sports for many
years.
Tho contest will be rowed down

bridge and passing under the Harvard
bridge, with the finish in front of the
Union Boat Club.

five mon who rowed against Yale at
