NEWS OF OTHER COLLEGES. Harvard’s Rowing Progress—Prince- ton’s Football Dinner. es The trial race which took place over a two mile course in the Back Bay last Saturday between the two Har- vard University crews, occasioned great interest, as it afforded an op- portunity to judge of the improvement made by the men under Mr. Leh- mann’s coaching. The race was very closely contested and was won by Cap- tain Goodrich’s crew, “The Oneida,”’ which defeated J. H. Perkins’ crew, “The First Trinity,’ by a length and a quarter. The time was 9 minutes and 55 seconds, which is 17 seconds slower than the best record ever made over the course, made last June by the ’99 crew. It is, however, consid- ered very good time for a Fall crew. The make-up of the crews and their weights was as follows:— Bow, C. Hurley, 155; No. 2, G. Mar- vin, 159 1-2; No. 38, H. McDuffie, 156; No. 4, J. F. Perkins, 166; No. 5, S. Hol- lister, 171; No 6, C. Thomson, 171; No. 7, D. M. Goodrich, 175 1-2; stroke, C. ce: Bull, 160. Bow, H. Adams, 152; No. 2, H. G. Rice, 155; No 8, W. H. Cameron, 167 1-2: No. 4, A. A. Sprague, 189 1-2; No. 5, M. Duffield, 190 1-2; No. 6, F. Fi: Ames, 181; No. 7, J. H. Perkins, 185; stroke, E. Boardman, 162. As a result of the:work in this pre- liminary race Captain Goodrich has announced the selection of the follow- ing men to compose the University eight: Bull, Goodrich, J. F. Perkins, Hollister, C. Thomson, J. H. Perkins, A. A. Sprague, and Boardman. The first five of the above named were in the winning boat,. the “Oneida.” All of them except Bull, J. F. Perkins, Boardman and Thomson were in last year’s University crew. The order in the boat has not been determined up- on. Mr. Lehmann, who has been at Cambridge now for over three weeks, will remain but a few days longer and will devote his entire attention until his departure to the eight men Select- ed Saturday. ’ Owing to the serious illness of Pro- fessor Beale, Chairman of the Ath- letic Committee, the meeting which was to have been held to take action on the matter of reconciliation in ath- letics between Harvard and Yale has been indefinitely postponed. Various schemes for meeting the running expenses of the proposed Har- vard Infirmary have been suggested. The most acceptable plan yet propos- ed is that of charging each member of the University an extra five dollars on his bill for tuition. The members of last year’s ice polo team have re-elected F. J. Goodridge Captain. The team will begin prac- tice at once if the ice continues good. The Christmas recess will last this year from December 23 to January 2 inclusive. NEWS FROM PRINCETON. That the alumni and friends of Princeton fully appreciated the splend- id record made by the football eleven during the past season was most clearly shown by the entnusiasm dis- played at the dinner given to the team at the Inn on Friday night. which was a success in every respect. Covers were laid for one hundred guests and nearly all of them were present. The parlor was decorated with orange and black, with large Yale and Harvard flags occupying conspicuous positions on the wall. The menus were printed on parchment with edges tied with blue, crimson and orange and black ribbons and con- taining a picture of the Princeton team. Harvard was represented by Mr. J. H. Sears, editor of Harvper’s Round Table and Yale by Mr. J. R. Sheffield, Yale, ’°87. James W. Alex- ander, ’60, was the presiding officer and Adrian H. Joline, ’70, acted as toastmaster. Toasts were responded to on various subjects relative to foot- ball by William E. Annin, ’77, J. R. Sheffield, Yale, J. H. Sears, Harvard, and Captain Garret Cochran. Several prominent alumni, some of the mem- bers of the football team, and Train- er McMasters also made short speeches. The annual trip of the Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs will begin De- cember 21. ‘The first concert of the _posed of four private cars, ode. ATL UMN trip will be given Monday night, De- cember 21, in Baltimore. The organi- zation travels in a special train, com- loaned specially for the trip.

The management of the Track Ath- letic Association have been .making preparations for active work in this branch of athletics during the Winter. The plan is to hold at least six indoor meetings about two weeks apart dur- ing the term. Gold and silver medals, first and second prizes respectively, will be given in each event of each contest. The management also ex- pects to present valuable cups to the men who make the best averages in the series in each event. —__——_—__+0¢—____—_— PREPARATIONS AT PRINCETON. Arrangements to Weet Harvard in Debate on Dee. 18. Princeton, N. J., Dee. 5, 1896.— Princeton enters the Intercollegiate Debates this year with the determina- tion to win both contes: if pessible and so make up fcr the two defeats suf- fered last year at the hands of Har- vard and Yale. Several good debaters were lost Dy the graduation of the class of Ninety-six, but the present Senior and Junior classes seem to be able to fill the places left vacant. The choice of the final debaters was made two weeks ago and since that time the men have been working to- gether with much enthusiasm. The contest is neld here on Friday even- ing, December 18, in Alexander Hall. The following men will represent Princeton: Robert M. McElroy, ’96; Robert F. Sterling, ’97, and Howard H. Yocum, ’98, with Robert O. Kirkwood, ’°97, as alternate. Mr. McElroy is now pursuing a post graduate course as Fellow in History. He has twice represented Princeton in debate before, once against Yale in his Junior year, and once against Har- vard in his Senior year. His record as a debater is a good one and his pres- ence on the team will greatly strength- en it. ican Whig Society, as are also Messrs. Sterling and Yocum. . rea These two last mentioned are new men in intercollegiate debating, but both have good records in their Hall. Mr. Sterling in his Sophomore year won the Class of ’76 prize in debate, which is contested for by members of all classes, as well as several prizes for excellence in debating in Whig Hall. Mr. Yocum has also won sev- eral prizes for debates. These three men ‘will make a strong team as all are clear thinkers and forcible in their arguments. A list of twenty men for judges has been sent to Harvard, but as yet the _ final choice of three men has not been returned. It has not been decided who will preside at the meeting but it will be some man of prominence. After the debate a banquet will be given to the debaters by the committee on ar- rangements at the Princeton Inn. The question to be debated is, ‘‘Re- solved, That Assuming the Adoption of Adequate Constitutional Amend- ments, the United States Should Adopt a System of Responsible Cabinet Gov- ernment.” This question was chosen by Princeton and the choice of sides was given to Harvard who took the Negative. <A lively interest is mani- fested in this contest because of the importance of the question and the place intercollegiate debating has ta- ken among the universities. mae dnetieadion ow" Saaeeincnist Harry Beecher, ’88, formerly quar- ter-back on the Yale eleven, has made out the following All-America’ foot- ball eleven: Left end, Cabot, Har- vard; left tackle, Church, Princeton; left guard, Woodruff, Pennsylvania: center, Gailey, Princeton: right guard, Shaw, Harvard: right tackle, Mur- phy, Yale; right end, Cochran, Prince- ton; quarter-back, Fincke.
