In a lighter on the River Mas at
Rotterdam, without windows. without
doors. with only an open hatchway
from which a ladder descends several
hundred fugitives spend their nights
and the best part of their days in the
iron hold. forever covered with moist
ure, leaky when rain comes. with the
fioor never dry, and pervasive with a
perpetual smell like the smell of q cave
which never gets the light of day.
Here men. women and children were

by the following comment on the differ.
ences between the old-time hunt and the
modern hunt for business.
"They used to do it much more pie
turesquely. They rode in coats of scar
let, in the crisp, clear morning, to the
winding of horns and the baying of
hounds-to the thudthud of hoofs, and
the crackle of underbrush. Across fresh
plowed fields they went, crashing
through forest paths, leaping bitches,
taking fences, scrambling up the inclines,
pelting down the hillside, heller -skelter,
until, painting, wide-eyed, eager, blood
hungry, the hunt closed in at the death.
"The scarlet coat has .sobered down
to the somber gray and the snuffy brown
of that unromantic garment known
as the business suit The winding horn
is become a goblet, and its notes are the
tinkle of ice against glass. The bay
ing of hounds has harshened to the
squawk of the motor siren. The fresh
plowed field is blue print, the forest
maze a roll of plans and specifications.
Each fence is business barrier. Every
ditch is OF a competitors making, dug
eraftily so that the clumsy-footed may
come a cropper. All the romance is out
of it, all the eolors, all the joy. But two

grace for Harvard in the defeat. As a
matter of fact, impartial observers were
willing to admit that Harvard's boat
contained the great stamina and the bet,
ter workmanship, only lacking the fren.
zied "punch" which showed Yale over the
line few inches ahead. At the finish
Harvard's men seemed considerably
stronger than Yale's, man for man, while
the exhibition they had given through
out the four-mile course was even and
machine like. Therefore, each university
may well rest on the laurels won by
each on the great day.
The result of the race in so far as the
condition of the men is concerned imme-
diately afterwards is such as to raise
the question again regarding the advis-
ability of continuing such long contests.
At least two of the men collapsed from
utter exhaustion as they pulled the last
stroke which sent their boat over the
line first, while others in both boats had
about reached the end of human endur-
ance, being sustained in their seats only
by great viii power. Those were the
immediate results of the gruelling con-
test What the after-results may prove
to be remains to be developed. There
may be no bad after-results in this in
stance; but ii has been shown, we be-
lieve, that a large percentage of college
have developed bodily defects
early in life following the completion of
their college courses that have sent them
to their graves at an age much younger
than that of men who engaged in other
and less strenuous college athletic activ-
tiles. A shorter course would do away
with much of the tremendous strain
which the men undergo in the annual
contest.
