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

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-

team. Harvard was represented by

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.

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.
