HARVARD LOSES
GORDON CLASS Or
VARSITY CREW

Red Top, Conn, June ga stun
ming blow came 10 the Harvard camp
today, when Gordon Glass, who rowed
No In the varsity eight, was de-
clared TO be unable TO row and was
sent to the temporary hospital to be
isolated until after the race. He took
n chill yesterday afternoon while sit
ting on the ground and during the
night his temperature was quite high.
He was so much better this morning
that he went out with the crew, but
collapsed completely when he at
tempted to row, and the shell came
back TO the float DIR. ManahaR ex-
amined Glass. and at once said that
he was too I'll TO go In the crew and
until after the race he must be under
observation
The loss is a serious one for Glass
was tho heaviest man and strongest
oar in the eight, and II has been neces-
sary for Capt. Bacon to move from No.
to No. 6, while Lunt was taken out
OF the varsity four-oared boat and
put In at No. I'm the eight. Capt.
and Lunt rowed with the varsity crew
for five weeks In the spring.
Coach Kennedy gave the Yale crew
some final words of instruction today
before they were sent out to have
their last practice spin. He then sent
the crews half mile from the float
and for n few minutes put them
through racing starts. The weather
was very warm, but the men seemed
full OF life. Wallace is all right and
has gone back into the freshman

New Haven and other places have al
ready begun, and an unusually large
crowd Is expected here by evening.

them notice Of the dishonor. as we'll as on
5he ground that the agreement referred to
was an extension OF time given TO the
meaning OF Sec. 12s. SUBJ 6 Neg. Instin.
act.
Chief Justice Douglas, who writes the
opinion OF the court on plaintiffs excep-
lions, says. I'VE think the direction
should be sustained" The defendants
named come within the plain language OF
Article Sec and Art vi. Sec. II of
the negottatable Instrument act. The first
section referred 10 says that the person
primarily liable on an instrument Is the
person, who. oy the terms OF the .nstrtl-
ment is absolutely required TO pay the
same. All other parties are secondarily
liable. BY the other section a person
who puts hts name on a note otherwise
than as maker. drawer or acceptor. Is
deemed TO be an endorser. unless he
clearly indicates, by appropriate words,
his intention TO be bound In some other
capacity.
The chief justice further says: ''The de-
PENDANTS named come within the plain
language OF these sections and there Is
no evidence that they made any agree
ment TO cary their Inability. They all
affixed their names 10 the note. before
delivery. for the accommodation of
Choquet. to whom the plaintiff directly
paid the money on H. knowing that they
were such accommodation endorsers. AS
such they were entitled 20 notice of DIS
honor.
I'VE agree with the superior court that
tho promise not 10 press the suit on the
note against Choquet was n postponement
OF the holders right TO enforce the in
strument within the meaning OF the law
and so discharged Carroll. who was the
only one bound In any case"
