Fall Rowing.
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.

Faculty Golf.
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.

CAPTAIN M°BRIDE
Elected Tuesday Night—A Sketch of
His Work.
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

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-

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.

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.

the Princeton Inn, by the alumni of the
University. Covers were laid for about
one hundred people and many informa!
speeches were made by prominent

priate, among them a Princeton tiger
crying for “more,’ and the ball used
in the Yale game.
