Capt. Jensen has informed the as

football is just the time Hale is most
needed at his work.

NO WEST VS..
EAST CONTEST

Madison, Wis, Oct. 25.-Dr. George
w Ehler, director of athletics at the
University of Wisconsin, today put to
sleep, as he expressed it in a speech
before the athletic council, the idea
of a post-season game between the
east and west to decide the national
football championship. DR.. Ehler ex-
pressed the opinion that there was
nothing for western school to gain
and everything to lose in such an en-
gagement and he thought the matter
had been thrashed out and definitely
settled last year.

YALE CREW RACES

Oarsmen to Establish New
Angle by Holding Au-

Princeton, n. j.. Oct. 25.-Oarsmen of
Yale and Princeton will establish a
new angle in intervarsity rowing his
tory when the two efght-oared shells
meet in dual autumn regatta on
Carnegie lake this afternoon.
Boat races between the crews of the
two universities are not events con-
fined to modern athletic history. since
the sweep swingers of a generation
ago matched rowing skill and stamina
but varsity boat race in the late fall
is an innovation between the New Jer-
sey and Connecticut colleges.
The race. which was rather hastily
arranged, marks a departure from the
Yale policy of last season when no
| preliminary contests were attempted
previous to the four-mile race against
Harvard at New London. Although it
has been decided to continue the Eng
lish stroke and coaching system at
| Yale for another year 1t was thought
| that better progress could be made II
! one or more minor races were sched-
uled before the Harvard oarsmen were
met in the long row over the Thames
river course next June.
Owing to the short period of prep.
aration since college opened. nothing
startling in the way of speed or row.

college was ready for a race, and

was merely to secure a similar contes
