Harvard, each singly, making in all
three races for us. Yale prefers the
New London course. Cornell has been
in favor of Poughkeepsie and believes
it offers the best opportunity for a fair
race; but if any other course 1s sug-
gested which is*better than Poughkeep-
sie Cornell will be for that. Cornell,
being the champion this year, will not
issue any challenges, but will be willing
to row any one who will row with her
and impose no unfair conditions.”
THAMES FOR YALE AND HARVARD.
The managements of both the Yale
and Harvard navies ‘have agreed on the
New London course for their dual con-
test next Spring, and the action meets
with the approval of all Yale men.
The New London Board of Trade has
made a most favorable bid for the
races, offering more inducements than
ever before.
UNIVERSITY CREW CANDIDATES.
Some of the candidates for the Uni-
versitv crew, who were not in training
for the football team, have been row-
ing daily on the harbor since the Fall .
Regatta. Mr. Cook has worked the
men individually. in the pair oars and
has made a special point of the prin-
ciples of the stroke. The barge has
been used in the last week.
The crew will continue to row on the
harbor so long as the weather permits
and then in the tanks at the gymna-
sium. The gear of the shell has been
changed in no way and the stroke has
not been altered.
The Freshmen will be called out -
shortly and will begin rowing in the
tank. The rowing of the crew in the
Fall Regatta was very satisfactory, con-
sidering the shortness of the time to
develop it, and it is hoped that, with
the material which will yet come out,
a strong crew may be developed.
The University crew candidates have
been rowing in the following order:
Stroke, William B. Williams, 1900; 7,
John C. Greenleaf, ’99 5.; 6, James H
Niedecken, 1900; 5, John W. Cross,
1900; 4, Henry P. Wickes, 1900; 3, Har-
leigh. Parkhurst, 98 5. tenn
Brock, 1900; 2, R. W. Patterson, 1900;
bow, Payne Whitney, ’98, Captain.

©The Dropped Harvard H’s are
Restored.
The official confirmation of the. re-
moval of the H’s from the sweaters of
the Harvard football eleven, because
the eleven failed to score on Yale from
the latter’s four-yard line, has been fol-
lowed, since the WEEKLY’s last report
of this matter, by the official announce-
ment of their replacement. This latter
-step has been taken on account of the
good showing which it is considered
the team made against the University
of Pennsylvania in the game at Phila-
delphia on the 2oth inst., although the
score was I5 to 6 against them.
The Harvard Crimson’s editorial on
the subject is quoted below:
“Saturday’s game with Pennsylvania
was anything but a pleasant climax to
the football season. Pennsylvania won
the game distinctly on its merits, and
proved beyond doubt that she has the
best team of the season. In compari-
son Harvard was tnquestionably
weaker in team play, especially on the
offensive. There was one feature of the
game, however, which was much more
gratifying. The Harvard team played
the best game of which they were capa-
ble, and kept it up to the very end.
In this respect they came up to expec-
tations and redeemed themselves from
their former disgrace. Having done
their best, they have shown themselves
worthy to resume the H, and they will
doubtless do so with the full approba-
tion of the University.”

Mr. R. C. Lehmann, coach of the
Harvard crew, is writing a book on
“Rowing” which will contain about
forty photographic illustrations. There

YALE ALUMNI
PRINCETON LOOKS AHEAD.
A Heavier Schedule Wanted Next
Wear—Probable Changes.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEFEKLY.]
Princeton, Nov. 30.—After the in-
tense disappointment of the game on
the 20th inst., it might seem a little
early to be making plans at Princeton
for next year’s: football season. Yet
such is already being actively done, and
that too with.an enthusiasm which pre-
sages well. The general feeling is that
Princeton’s team was overtrained, and
the students do not feel that the mem-
bers of the team are personally re-
sponsible for their defeat. Their
plucky fight in the second half has en-
deared the team of Ninety-Seven to the
Princeton man’s heart as has seldom
been seen. :
But the future is being looked to
already. Next year great pains will be
put upon the training, and a strong
effort will be made to get a big game
a week or two weeks before the con-
test with Yale. It is considered that
one cause of Princeton’s weakness this
year was her light schedule. Of course
it is impossible to say whether the first
big game next season will be against
Harvard or the University of Pennsyl-
vania, but there are a great many
Princetonians who feel that a reconcili-
ation with Pennsylvania is a thing of
the near future.
Princeton’s captain has not yet been
elected. It is quite probable, however,
that Baird will be chosen. Of the men
who played in the Yale game this year,
the following will graduate with the
Class of Ninety-Eight: Bannard, Rei-
Creigh
will graduate from the Theological
Seminary next Spring. Reiter will
enter the Seminary next Fall, and will
therefore be eligible to play again,
while it is quite probable that Kelly
will return to college for a post-gradu-
ate course.
It is proposed to make several
changes as to the placing of certain
members of the ’97 eleven on next
year’s team. The coaches seem _ to
think that Baird should go back to full-
back, and that Wheeler should be
moved up into the line, probably to a
tackle position. Holt will go to a
guard position. According to this ar-
rangement it will be necessary to de-
velop a quarter-back and two ends. It
is true that Burke will return to Col-
lege, but there will be strong competi-
tion for the quarter-back position next
year, and it is impossible just now to
predict the man who will be chosen.
Yale Gymnastic Association
Meet.
The first of the two gymnastic con-
tests of the Yale Gymnastic Associa-
tion will be held in the Gymnasium
next Wednesday evening, December
Ist, at 8 o'clock.
The events will be: Horizontal Bar,
Long Horse, Parallel Bars and Rope
Climbing. A first place in any one of
these events will count 5 points, and a
second place 3 points. The man who
wins the greatest number of points in
both contests is allowed to wear the
University “Y.” 7
Three judges have been asked to
officiate from the New Haven Turn
Verein. As yet no definite arrange-
ments have been made in regard to the
annual meet with Princeton. In all
probability one will be held at Prince-
ton next March.

WEEKLY
Next Year’s Football Captains.
Immediately after the Pennsylvania
game the Harvard football team elected
Benjamin Dibblee, ’99, of Ross, Cali-
fornia, captain of next year’s team.
Dibblee played full-back on his Fresh-
man team and was substitute on the
University last year. His strong point
is his running and dodging.
At a meeting of the Pennsylvania
team held at the same time John Out-
land, 1900 M., was elected captain of the
eleven for 1898. Outland has_ played
right-tackle this Fall, which is his first
year on the University team. His run-
ning with the ball has been a feature
of all the games this year.
J. C. Holderness, ’99, has been elect-
ed captain of the Lehigh University
He has played
full-back for three years.
Among other elections are Branch,
left half, to the captaincy of the Wil-
liams team, and Cavanaugh, right-end,
captain of the Dartmouth eleven for

Cornell-Pennsylvania Game.
- The University of Pennsylvania team
defeated Cornell by the score of 4 to 0
at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day.
Cornell’s team proved to be much
stronger than it had been estimated,
and Pennsylvania was given a hard
Light, =. | :
In the first half, neither side scored,
although Pennsylvania’s goal was in
danger several times. Young, Cor-
nell’s quarter-back, missed a goal from
the field by about a yard in this half.
In the second half Pennsylvania’s heavy
mass. plays were more effective, and
after twenty minutes of play McCrack-.
en was pushed over for the first and
only touchdown of the game.
The best playing for Cornell was
done by Young, who made several long
runs and whose punts were very effect-
ive. For Pennsylvania Minds, Out-
land and McCracken did great work.

Two Syliogisms.
[Editorial in Waterbury American.]
Following the football game at Ne
Haven last Saturday, we offered a sy
logism to the following effect: “Ya
beat Princeton. Harvard tied Yal
Pennsylvania eat’ Eharvard. Ther
fore Pennsylvania has the stronge
team of the year.” We remarked t
this calculation was logical, but n
convincing, because comparative scor
never tell positively the relative stan
ing of teams which do not meet eac
other. Following the surprise party 2
Philadelphia Thanksgiving day, we hav
another syllogism to offer. Princeto
beat Cornell, 10 to 0. Pennsylvanif
beat Cornell only 4 to o. Princeton |)
therefore superior to Pennsylvani
Yale beat Princeton. Therefore Yaj
is better also than Pennsylvania. Th
is as good logic as the other, and pw
Yale ahead as conclusively as the oth
did Pennsylvania. In*other words,
one can tell what the outcome wou
be, should these two teams meet. C
nell’s surprise party illustrates anew t.
truth that nothing so endangers |
team’s chances of victory as the con
dent belief that it cannot be beate
Pennsylvania thought it had a cinc
and Cornell by working hard in a
vance caught her off guard and almo
beat her.
