New Haven, Feb. 3.-EncouraSlng results for the wrestling squad have match which was held two weeks ago, and to which the undergraduates were invited. The wrestling coaches state that since the exhibition by the eX- pert wrestlers, an average of three new men a day have reported, and some excellent material has been found. The greatest hopes of the have been realized. This year there has been formed team or freshman wrestlers. In previous years freshmen have been eligible TOT ,,,ins ine which prohibits the freshmen from the varsity squad, a freshman team has been formed. The varsity schedule begins on February 12 with Columbia Pennsylvania. Annapolis. the New ton are among the other engagements.
 The runor that Vale Station and other sub-postofhces in New Haven were soon to be abolished. was denied last week in statement issued by Postmaster Troup of New Haven. The rumor arose from the fact that the New Haven postoffice will soon move into the new building. This, 1t was thought, would result in the abolition of several of the branches which were made necessary by the congested con- dition at the main office. However, as regards the removal of Yale station. Postmaster Troup states that the postoffice department has no such plan in contemplation, nor has 1t ever had such a plan under consideration.
 Professor H. H. Farr, chairman of the freshman faculty, has been active in forming a high school club at Yale. The plan of such a club would be to provide some sort of an organization ahxy ct, n1IhIin high schools that do not ordinarily send large representation to Yale would be brought into closer touch with each other and the university. In this way, not only would the students be aided in both their curriculum and extra curriculum activities, but Yale would be brought into closer touch with the high schools throughout the country. The fundamental principles which un- derlie this new organization are pre- cisely those which, last year, led to the formation of the Norwich Club of Yale University. Professor Farr was inter
 ested in the foundation of this club and the results which have been shown during the past year and a half, have given rise to the plan which is now under consideration However, the new organization will undoubtedly be a notable success since so little has been attempted along the lines of bringing the university into closer re- lation with the secondary schools of the country.
 John MasefieId will make second visit to New Haven on March 10, un- der the auspices of the University Dramatic Association. After his re- cent reading in Lampson Iyceum, MT. Masef1eld expressed his appreciation of the enthusiastic support he had re- ceived, but said he could not return as he was sailing to take up Red Cross work with the British army at the
 conclusion of the present lecture tour.
 On further thought, however, he de-
 cided to postpone his sailing date one
 week so he could visit Yale again. He has written expressing @ desire to lec- ture here, but no definite date has as
 yet been decided upon. He will prob
 ably be here some time shortly after
 the Junior Promenade.
 H. H. Wheaton, of the Bureau of
 Education in Washington, a specialist
 in immigration education, will come to Yale to lecture on the general subject of the "Americanization of the 1mmi- grant" MT. Wheaton represents the
 National Association of the United States which has selected Yale as the university in which to train men for the work of Americanizing the count less numbers of immigrants which pour into this country every year. The COuEE6 WILL D6 gwen uHQGT lu6 duS- pices of the Department of Social Ser vice in the School of Religion and will supplement the work in industrial ser vice of both Academic and Shelf. men
 In addition to the lectures, there will be actual work in Americanization Those who are interested in and en- toying the work, will be given oppor- tunitfes to go into it upon leaving Yale. The course will be given tria here for the rest of this year and next If it is successful, similar courses oi 1 lectures will be established in the oth. CT universities and colleges of the United States.

 The first of December, it was decid ed that the university rowing activitie
 would be transferred from the Nev l Haven harbor to the Housatonic Rive l near Derby. Since that time, invesi gations have been carried on by tn members of the crew committee, an
 the results obtained have been mos satisfactory. It is an obvious fact tha the present course is unsatisfactor. and inadequate. Proper practice ol 1 harbor is often prevented by rougl
 water for which there is no remedy Another disadvantage in the presen situation, is that race can not b followed conveniently except wit specially chartered launches an steamers. For this reason importan
 races cannot conveniently be rowe
 with other college crews on the pres ent course. and the facilities for un l dergraduates to witness and folloN the races are scant. In regular train ing time trials have to be held over
 four-mile course on the harbor at def
 mite times. These necessary tim Fl trials Y7a11sf ha Capfiuna1iv da1aVnd o
