The laying of the corner stone of the new ale stadium will be one of the special features of commencement week This is the plan of the stadi- um committee, which in New York Tuesday made final arrangements for the work of the big athletic amphl- theater. The engineers plans were formally adopted in their revised con- dition and it was decided to advertise for bids, which will be opened on June IA A week after the work will com mence, with only a slight delay from the date originally set.
 The contract is to be let in two parts. The first will cover the exea vating, embankment, the 32 tunnels and the grading of the meadow below the level of the field, together with the sewerage and drainage systems, which will keep the playing field dry at all times. The first contract, which is the one under consideration now. should be completed by Dec. 1, and then the contract for the completion of the structure, construction of seats, etc, will be submitted to bids and the work begun in the spring.
 The bowl is to be located on the north side of Derby avenue and the west side of Yale avenue on the new Yale field, and about 30 rows of seats above the level of the ground and 25 rows below the level will give the re- quired seating accommodations for 610O0 people. besides standing room for 5000 more The most distant seat in the bowl will be Lut little farther from the center of the field than in the present football stand, and the ellipiticaI shape of the stand will give everyone a full view Of the game. The cost of the structure, which will be an embankment of earth faced with concrete and equipped with wooden seats will he one-hal9 that of any other kind of structure which could have been adopted, There is to be broad footway around the top, @where spectators may stand and the outside of the enbankment will be seeded down Entrance will be at the ground level through the various concrete tunnels It will surely be ready for the Harvard game in 1914.
 The date set for tho laying of the cornerstone is the Monday of com naencement week, and President Had ley and Prof. Taft will speak.

New Haven. May 2a,-An interest," ing comment en Yale rowing was
 made this week by AHster Kirby, the Oxford crew coach, who has been in
 New Haven since May 10 to assist
 Coaches Hartman and Rodgers in de-
 veleping the university eights Mr.
 Kirby said that when he arrived he
 found the crew rowing an armstroke
 which differed from lis idea of the English style. In the firse place they
 were extremely stiff in their move
 ments, and had not gotten the length
 in the water which one looks for in an English crew. The men were not sufficiently steady on the swing for ward to have enough control of them selves to make a smart drive at the beginning of the stroke. This had the fault of making the crew lurch over their stretchers in the endeavor to check themselves. The result of this was to cause hang" Otherwise the eight seemed quite promising. The first thing I did was tC attempt to get the men supple and to recover easier. so that they would gain control of themselves on the swing forward. The oarsmen were made to realize that the essential idea of English rowing is that every ounce of work to be exerted must come at the beginning of the stroke. The eight was extremely adaptable and made the coaching much eaSIST Indn Hdd AALAC1pdlSQ
 Albert H. Barclay writes in the Alumni Weekly that MT. Kirby's coaching has been along very eonsefv- ative lines, and that while 1t is plain that he has not found a crew at Yale which rows as Oxford crews row, he has not started in to tear things to pieces, but rather to show the men how to do their work more easily and eff fectively The most serious problem that MT, Kirby has to contend with is the fact that he must teach the fundamental details of the Oxford stroke both to men who began their rowing under a different system and to men who are just beginning te row. Although MT. Hartman and Mir. Rodgers did the preliminary work well, the crew does net yet resemble an English university crew, and the problem is how far Mir. Kirby and Mir.
