that the Ellis will again be formid-
able rowing rival of Harvard If they
go back to the Bob Cook stroke
Courtney says the old Cook stroke
was a good stroke, and pointed out
the success OF the Yale crews that

capable coaches and under them Yale
should come back.

lete, now at Dartmouth, predicts great
things for Franz Marceau, the Han.

laboratory burst and put him in the
infirmary, badly burned about the
eyes. Similar occurrences have kept
the cross-country captain from show
ing the form that was his when he
arrived at Hanover two years ago. All
/ through the cross country season
Marceau ran with a strained leg.
President Laurie Roberts, of the
McGill Hockey Club, of ottawa. Ont.
announced yesterday that the Mont
real students would not participate
In the intercollegiate hockey series
at New York this week. 1t appears
that McGill demands u greater guar
antee than the rink management was
prepared to give, so arrangements
have fallen through, though McGil
is advertised to play against the
Toronto University team Wednesday
evening. Ottawa College and Queens
play Tuesday night. and the winner
will face the varsity on Thursday.
Cornell won permanent possession
OF the intercollegiate cross-country
championship cup by winning the In
tercollegiate race here on November
%, at Van Cortland Park, New York
city. The Cornell athletic authorities
were not aware of the fact that they
had won the cup until several days
ago. OF the fifteen cross-country
races Cornell has won thirteen.
Graduate Manager Stedman, of the
Syracuse University A. A., said yes
terday that another effort will be
made this year to induce the Intercol-
legiate Association to hold the big
college track games which are sched-
uled for May 20 and 80 at the SYRIA
cuse university stadium. The Salt
City's candidacy for the meet has
been turned down nearly every wear
since the stadium became a reality
but Mr.. Stedman believes that this
season the dates may be awarded to
Syracuse.

Chess League, are trying conclusions

ment for the championship and the
