whole lot of other good folk of the

eaten, were most appealing to the
inner man.

of about fifty at a clip, and when
they got the word those fifty on hand
made ready in jiffy.
The trustees who acted as walters,
together with few who were not
trustees, served the tables in fine spot
less short, conventional, white coats
and dark trousers, and no one went
without the most perfect service. The
able linen was snow white, while the

and the whole room looked most invit-
ing. John Sharp, c. l. Phillips, Nils
Paulson, Harry Clark, ST., were re-
sponsible for the arrangements, and
they did their duty nobly There
was nothing left undone. A profess
sional chef had been engaged and with
his own aides, prepared dinner fit
for the gods. The folks kept gath
ering in until there were fears that
the harder would have to be restock-
ed. But there was enough and to
spare. Everybody had good time,
and the men folk received the con-
CALCULATIONS of the ladies in unstinted
manner. Those who did the serving
were: John Sharp, c. l. Phillips,
Ernest Sibley, Harry Clark, ST., Harry
Clark, Jr., l.. X. Sager, Rev. Macken-

in Session at New York AC.
Team Title Tourney to Get
Under Way December 2.

Delegates from Yale. Princeton, Penn.
sylvania. Columbia. City College of New
York, Brown. Massachusetts Tech. Am
herst. Wesleyan, Rutgers. Williams and
West Point attended the annual fall
meeting OF the intercollegiate Swimming
Association at the New York Athletic
Club yesterday afternoon.
The chief item of Importance taken up
was that of the annual intercollegiate
championships. and it was decided to
settle them in the usual manner. the
team titles in swimming and water polo
by means of a round robin of home and
home dual meets. the individual cham
pionships at a separate carnival. The
team tournament has received entries
from Yale, Princeton. Pennsylvania. Co.
lunbia and City College of New York.
II will open with clash between Penn
sylvania and City College Of New York
In the local pool on December 2. The in
dividual contests will take place on
March 25.
An innovation will be set or inter-
scholastic aquatic championships, under
the supervision of the collegiate associ-
alton. to be staged at Princeton on
March IS. In the past there have been
half dozen so-called championship meets
for Eastern high school boys each sea-
son. naturally resulting in several claim
ants for every title at stake. Hereafter
TIE colleges in the league will take 1t in
turn to run the new fixture. and 1t is
. the aim of the association to have all
schools recognize its interscholastic
championships as official in time.
Capt Pendleton, who attended yes
terday's meeting as West Points repre-
sentative, signified the intention of the
academy authorities to join the league
provided the Army could enter first year
men for the individual championships.
which Is contrary to the association rules.
He stated he was not empowered to take
action, however. so the matter was not
brought UP officially. The majority OF
the delegates, when consulted, seemed
to feel that there would be no objection
to West Points use of freshmen In dual
meets, but that II would not be fair to
make an exception in regard to cham
pionships. particularly since Annapolis
proved perfectly willing to abide by the
one year regulation in entering the
league last year. Under the circum-
stances II appears doubtful that the
Army will join the association for the
present.
