New Haven, Oct. 16-Yale men are behind the crew, it's captain and it's l coaches in the policy of sticking by the course that was determined on three years ago. that coaching by Y ale men and amateurs was the thing for Yale rowing. The popular senti- ment is that Yale, after its bad beat ing last June, might have easily ob- tained the services of the famous Ten l Eyck, had the return to professional coaching been decided upon. It was course that had it's hundreds of ad- herents in the discoura cement of the day but there is finer feeling of satisfaction that Yale spirit is being shown in the best sense on the water not the policy of anything to win. Yale lost at the mile flag last June not because of the stroke, but because of the crew. Crocker at stroke, for instance, proved at the last minute too light for his place. He was under 16O and there were other physical defects in the boat. Of course, the men WaV- cred in their new stroke-two years do not teach perfection in the English system the fastest but also the hard est to acquire-but the men who go in this year will have had better basic instruction than any of the oars men of the preceding two years.
 Captain Denegre, succeeding Snow don who is ineligible owing to the Yale Harvard agreement, being prac- tically g graduate student in the Scientific school, is the only veteran from last years boat who is on the University squad that is rowing daily on the harbor, but from the Freshmen, who have rowed only the English stroke and from the older classes, there is excellent material from which to mold a winning crew, There have been 75 men out for the Varsity row tV,r crews.
 William AverelI Hartman, who graduated last June, is back again as head coach and full confidence is placed in him to do all that a coach can do. The veteran Bob Cook thinks that Hartman is 8 born coach and Captain Denegre sees an unusually promising outlook.
 The seventh annual report of the Collegiate and Medical Departments of the Yale mission in Changsha, China, contains the usual statement by Dean Rev. BrowneI Gage, 98, concerning the Collegiate school, in which depart ment there are at present eight Yale graduates, including Dickson Ham mond Leavens, 1909, of Norwich, who is atpresent securing further prepaFa- tion at Yale, and Oliver c. Morse, 1910, formerly of NoFWIch.
 With the exception of some help by Chinese citizens for the Medical de- partment, of which pr, Edward H. Hume ie in charge, Yale in China is entirely supported by the centribu- tions of Yale men and their families. There are also small tuition fees in the Collegiate schools.
 Plans are announced for a hospital of 106 beds, doFmitory for 136 stu dents. lecture hall. a chapel and four houses for professors. $10,606 las been raised for the Seabufy Mem orial library and S5000 more is needed before this fund is large enough.
 The newspapers had a chance last week aoain of scattering a story of student demonstration at Yale when in reality it was merely an informal, spontaneous, nnocuous expression of joyful feelings by the Juniors on Berkeley oval It started in a harm less sort of way. Out of the shadows on High street beneath Whitehall, there rose the voices of a youth and maiden, neither of them of the col lege in friendly converse, A student engaged in his evening grind" in his room above, endured 1t as long as he could and then leaned out and shouted Fire" The alarm spread, for it was a sultry night and studying was tedious Water bottles began to crash down from the dormitory win dows and deluges of water caught passers underneath in the oval Then the discharge of a revolver awoke the campus cop, Bill Weiser, and the New Haven police. There were other the uproar confined itself to the oval and the college and didn't deserve any
