the foundation of a Scholarship in the

come to be given to two scholars se-
lected on examination for their excel-
lence, one in vocal and the other in in-
strumental music.
AS TO ENLISTED MEN.
The Corporation took no formal ac-
tion about enlisted students, this not
being the meeting for presentation for
degrees, but it was understood that the
fact of men having already enlisted up
to this time will not stand in the way
of a degree.
No Foundation in Fact.
The story, recently published in some
reliable newspapers, that Yale had been
presented with the Hotel Majestic prop-
erty to be used as a dormitory, under
the name of Duncan Hall, was denied
by President Dwight and Professor
Dexter. They say there is absolutely
no foundation in fact for such a report.

Arrangements for Princeton
Game. |
The first game in the Yale-Princeton
championship series will be played at
the Yale Field on Saturday afternoon.
Applications were received for 1500
seats and the remainder were put on
public sale yesterday. The north foot-
ball stand has been moved to the site
of the burned grandstand, and will af-
ford accommodations for 2500 people,
in addition to the two side stands which
have a seating capacity of 2600 each.
All the seats are reserved and the price
will be $1.00 each, irrespective of posi-
tion. Standing room will sell for 50
cents. The management will allow no
carriages inside the gates. The new
double-track trolley line on Chapel
street, first used for the Princeton foot-
ball game last Fall, will afford excel-
lent transportation facilities to the
Field. Those. driving to the Field are
requested to follow the prescribed car-
riage route, out Chapel street and
across West River through Central
avenue, Perry street and Tryon street
to Derby avenue.

Date for the University Race.
June 22 has been decided upon as
the date of the Yale-Harvard-Cornell
University boat race at New London.
It was originally thought by the Cap-
tains to hold the race on June 23 or
24, but the Yale-Harvard baseball
game on the 23d and the,Harvard
Class-Day exercises on the 24th, made
further negotiations necessary. The
25th was not acceptable because of the
Sheffield Scientific School Commence-
ment on that day and Cornell was
unwilling to row the following week
on account of her race with Pennsyl-
vania and Columbia, July 1, at Sara-
toga Lake. Though undesirable for
Yale and Harvard, it was. necessary to
fix upon an earlier date. The Fresh-
man race will be rowed on the follow-
ing day.
of over twenty points.
PENNSYLVANIA WON,
Yale Fourth at Mott Haven—Eight
‘Records Broken—Iideal Day
and Large Crowd.
“The University of Pennsylvania won
for the second time the Intercollegiate
Association Games at Berkeley Oval,
on Friday and Saturday last, May 27
and 28, with a score of 5034, a margin
Princeton quite
unexpectedly took second place,
through consistent team work, and
Harvard crowded Yale back into fourth
place by 3 points.
Pennsylvania won by putting into
the field a number of first point men
and it was to this that her high score
was due. Tewksbury, Hoffman and
Kraenzlein of the Dental School, and
McCracken of the Medical School,
were by themselves able to discount the
best team work any other college was
capable of.
Yale lost several good men this year
in various ways, some at the very last
minute. Besides the men who volun-
teered in the United States army, in-
cluding Waller, the high jumper, the
team has been weakened by the loss of |
Clifford Cheney, Yale’s best broad-
jumper, and Byers, the sprinter, both
of whom sprained tendons _ several
weeks ago and had to quit work. The
latter ran in the Harvard games and
the Intercollegiates, but had no busi-
ness to be on the track, as he was in
poor condition. Fisher, who scored.
for Yale in the quarter last year, was
injured by a fall in the Harvard games
and has not run since. These injuries
may be traced to the great difficulty
the men have had training on a track
so heavy and rain-sodden that it was
next to impossible to do anything on
it. The strictest economy had to be
practiced in money for the training
table through lack of funds, only half
of the usual number being taken to the
table. No medals were given for the
Spring games and no sweaters to the
point-winners for the same _ reason,
over a dozen of the competitors in last
week’s Intercollegiate meet paying
their own expenses. In the face of
certain and overwhelming defeat Cap-
tain Perkins and his men made a strong
up-hill fight.
The system of scoring recently
adopted, of counting a fourth place as
one point, worked very successfully.
Points were counted as follows: First,
= Veeco, 32> thita. co. rom tne ©.
The day was an ideal one for the
games, which were witnessed by 3,000
people.
Following is a summary, and brief
description of each event:
HUNDRED-YARDS DASH.
Final heat won by J. W. B. Tewks-
bury, ’99 D., Pennsylvania; J. Harland
Rush, ’98, Princeton, second; A. W.
Robinson, 1901, Harvard, third; C.
D. Whittemore, ’99, Syracuse, fourth.
Time, 10 seconds. Intercollegiate rec-
ord 94%, made by Wefers, Georgetown,
-in 1896.
Robinson, the Harvard Freshman, had
the pole with Rush and Tewksbury on
the outside and at the crack of the
pistol jumped into the lead, which he
held for about half the distance. Here
he was overtaken and passed by both
of his opponents, Tewksbury running
in the lead by about a yard. In the last
twenty-five yards, Rush showed a re-
markable burst of speed, gaining inch
by inch till at the tape he was beaten by
the small margin of six inches. Robin-
son was a good third.
