Yale men seem to have profitad greatly
by the coaching of Billy Lush and Walsh
Capt. Murphy seems to have one of the
best squads In the history of the Blue

Coach Walsh expected great things oi
Ted Coy, the foot ball captain.
The Cornell team has been coming along
fast since the men got out of doors. The
lthacan combination seems to be strong II
every department, and if the men keep uL
the gait at which they have been travel
ing they will cause lots Of trouble when
the championship season gets under way
The Harvard team is as yet an unknown
quantity, due to the lateness with Which
the Crimson started it's season. The Cam
bridge collegianS have had some excellent
coaching from Mathewson, the New
York star twirler, and they ought to
profit thereby.
Race for Princeton Grew.
The Princeton navy has at last sched-
uled a boat race. but not the one that
was wanted. The Tiger first crew or
varsity eight will meet the Yale Junior
eight next month in connection with
Yales trip 10 the American regatta at
Philadelphia The Princeton authorities
wanted the Yale varsity eight To meet
the Tigers. but this plan did not suit the
ond eight row instead. Prlnceton'S idea
was that the Yale varsity eight might
stop off at Princeton on its return from
Philadelphia. where it had been for ten
days preparing for the race with the
University of Pennsylvania.
1t is now definitely known that Prince
ton will not take part in any intercol-
legiate regatta this year, either at Pough-

Harvard at Penn's Relays.
The college world. after being regaleu
for several years with the stories con-
cerninS the hard feeling existing between
Harvard and Pennsylvania. was sur
prised this week to receive notice that
Harvard had entered team In the
Quakers' great relay carnival set for
April n A year ago Harvard broke the
ice bit by sending down a few of her
best men for the special events, but this
year the Crimson has entered a team in
the one-mile relay championship event.
Among the graduates of both universities
there is sentiment that the quarrel
which caused them TO split was both
foolish and unnecessary. Probably it was
for the bes. that foot ball relations We're
discontinued SO great was the strain.
Perhaps now it will be succeeded by
better feeling.

feeling between Pennsylvania and Har-

dence of friendship which Yale and Penn
sylvania have been showing toward each
other by the ten-day visit of the Yale
oarsmen as the guests of Pennsylvania.
and the likelihood that this race and visit
will be Il permanent feature of Easter
week.
Another surprise for the Pennsylvania
athletic management was the aciion of
Princeton in entering her entire track
team in the Pennsylvania relay carnival
