The Fall work of the University Crew on the harbor has been somewhat shorter this year than for some sea- sons past, lasting only from Nov. 7th to the 25th. As Captain Allen was kept busy on the University football squad all of this time and had very little chance to look after the oarsmen, no attempt was: made to have the practice _ in the nature of a competition for places, but simply to keep some of the most promising candidates in condition who were not training in football. J. C. _ Greenleaf, ’99, who rowed at No. 7, in last year’s boat did the coaching, principally in pair-oars. Later some rowing was done in the shell. The make-up of the temporary crew was as follows: Bow, C. B. Waterman, 1901; -2, H. P.. Wickes, 1900; 3, R. M. Patterson, 1900; 4, W. E. Minor, 1900; 5, J. W. Cross, 1900;.6, J. A. Keppel- man, (1000; - 7-— P.-C Mitchell 1001; stroke, W. B. Williams, 1900. After the Junior Prom the serious work of the Winter will be begun in the tanks of the Gymnasium. The Freshman Crew closed their sea- son’s practice with the Fall regatta on Lake Whitney. They will go into training shortly after the holidays. Captain Allen has made no arrange- ments for a coach’for his Crew, but will try to do the most of the preliminary work himself, assisted occasionally by former members of the University boat, who may be able to come to New Haven for a few days at a time. Mr. Robert J. Cook is still in Paris, where he went during the Summer. At that time he stated to a WEEKLY representa- tive that he meant to make his home in that city for some years and would positively not coach at Yale again. University °** Y’s”.

Several members of the Yale Faculty have been considering the advisability of introducing team golf matches, next year, between faculty teams of some of the more important Eastern colleges, with perhaps an individual tournament open to any person regularly enrolled as a college officer. Such team matches often occur be- tween the faculties of Scotch universi- ties and the National Golf Association has expressed its approval of the plan here. One beneficial result would be the taking away in time of the stigma of “professors’ golf.’ It would also foster agreeable relations between the different college faculties in a some- what unusual way. Professor Theodore Woolsey and Professor W. L. Phelps are especially interested in this movement, and it is believed that next Spring a golf match can be arranged between teams selected from the faculties of Yale, Harvard and other Eastern colleges.

At a meeting of the men who played in the Princeton and Harvard games, held in the Yale Infirmary on Prospect street Tuesday evening, December 6, Malcolm Lee McBride, 1900, of Cleve- land, Ohio, was elected Captain of next year’s football team. Mr. McBride prepared for College at the University School, Cleveland, where he played tackle for two years on the School MALCOLM LEE MCBRIDE, I900. eleven. He played a strong game in the same position on the 1900 Fresh- man: lean, .-Last . year, under. the coaching of F. S. Butterworth, ’95, he developed into one of the strongest full- backs of the season. Mr. McBride re- ceived an injury to his knee in the West Point game in October which was so aggravated by the subsequent practice games as to almost wholly incapacitate him for play. He played through the Princeton game however, and was called into the Harvard game, shortly after the opening of the first half. Up to the time of his injury, Mr. McBride gave promise of being the strongest punter in the Fast this year. One of the especial features in his play is his remarkable strength is assisting the half-backs in their line plunges. ~ Mr. McBride is a brother of Herbert McBride, ’900 S., who played first base on the University Nine for three years ie full-back on the Eleven of Eighty- ine. . ee ~<> > i gies tt A Gymnastic Contest. A new departure has been made in the plans of the Yale Gymnastic Team this year. The annual exhibition with Princeton, instead of being merely an exhibition, will take the form of a con- test, and a decision will be given by three judges, selected from the leading gymnastic experts in the country. This contest will take place in New Haven some time in March, 1899, and arrange- ments are being made for competitions in wrestling and fencing as well as an exhibition in boxing. ><> we Princeton News. A mass-meeting was held at Prince- ton last Thursday evening at which it was unanimously voted to abolish haz- ing. The resolutions, which had been drawn up previous to the meeting, by a committee of the Senior and Junior ‘classes, were to the following effect: . That the custom of hazing has a de- moralizing effect upon all concerned; that it has been carried to such a degree as to damage the name of the Univer- sity, and to injure the standing of cer- tain members of it. The resolutions went on to say that the Freshman class would be expected to observe the established College cus- toms, and that there would be a com- mittee composed of the following men; the Vice-Presidents of the two upper classes, the [Editor-in-Chief of the Princetonian, and the Manager and Assistant Manager of the Baseball Team, who shall decide all questions arising in the interpretations of the resolutions, and shall summon_ before them all members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes who are accused ciation for the coming year.
