WAR AT HARVARD
WAXING WARNER
Promising Track Men Leave
University After FiSh'S
Defeat for Marshal.

BOSTON. Mass, Dec. 19-That the
feeling between the members OF the So
called cold Coast and those who live
In the Harvard University yard, runs
high, is signified in the announcement
that r. s. Rlummer- and +. Is. Merri-
hew will leave Harvard -ery soon AZ
the result OF the signal defeat Of Capt.
Hamilton Fish of the football team by
Robert Brown for the office of field
marshal Of its senior class.
This announcement following so close
to the departure of Ham Fish to
New York has caused no end of talk
among the undergraduates, who feel that
the senior class has been split wide open
and from now on till graduation the
two factions will be at war. President
a. Lawrence Lowell has taken deep in
terest I'm the whole matter and il pos
sible IL is apparently his intention to
smooth out the in feeling against the
Geld Coasters"
Alarmed by the bitter class strife.
President Lowell has communicated
with Captain Fish over the long-dis-
lance telephone to New York and has
received a promise from Fish that he
will return to college tomorrow just to
keep up appearances. It is understood
in Cambridge that fl is the wish Of
Hamilton Fish, senior, to have his son
return TO college If only to set aside
the IN feeling which has arisen against
his son. Just what young Fish will

according to prominent Harvard men.
IL will be fer short time. probably Till
February, when he will finish all the
courses which he is pursuing this year.
The Crimson captain finished all his
studies required for his degree last June
and might have graduated then. but de-
cided to take an additional year. The
two latest men 10 acknowledge iuten-
tons 10 leave college are both track
mon and point winners in the last year :

blow to the track team as much is eN-
pected of them this season.

OYSTERNEN SAY
LAW IS A FAILURE
Claim Culture Statute Is
UnrenumeratiVe-Will
Seek Its Repeal.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Dec. 1s.-Ciaiming
that the oyster culture law passed by
the Maryland Legislature or 1906 Is a
complete failure. the tidewater counties
viii make a desperate effort to repeal
the law during the coming session OF
the general assembly.
BY the report just issued Dy the Shell
FISH Commission, II is shown that less
than 5000 OF the $31, 900 expended was
raised by the rentals under the act
though II was claimed by the friends OF
the measure that the act would provide
revenue for it's own workings and
surplus which would build roads ali
over the state. After four years. and
with most OF the bottoms OF the Chess-
peake thrown open 10 leasors the reve-
nue. derived is trifing.
1t is pointed out that the oysters pro-
duced under natural conditions are now
50 plentiful that 5he price received Is
unrenumerative and that II would not
pay 70 engage in oyster culture.

CY WON'T CAPTAIN

Mcdonald, First BaSeman, Leaves
Blue and Gray InSti-
tuition.

General surprise is expressed today
over the announcement that Cy Melon
aid will not captain the Georgetown
baseball team this season, has quit the
law school, and will probably play or
gained baseball this summer.
Following his determination not to
enter professional ball last summer il
was generally thought that Mcdonald
would again be a fixture at first base
for the Blue and Gray team According
10 Mcdonald, those were his intentions
at that time, but falling behind in his
studies he has since DECIDED to abandon
his career on the collegiate diamond.
Georgetown will miss the big fellow.
There were but few mis- equal seen here
last season and none his superior.
A date has not vet been set for the
election Of a new ca plain, but that mat
