Outdoor work will begin as soon as the weather and condition of the Field will permit, as the Nine will start South on March 29, ten days earlier than last year. 3 ———_-++e___—_ Yale’s Position. The following editorial from the Yale News of Jan. 20, presents so well the feeling of the undergraduates on the de- cision of Harvard and Yale to row at New London, that it is reproduced in its entirety: “The facts of the case are these: Four years ago Harvard and Yale fell out. ‘They broke off university athletic contests. After two years they made up, and in the Spring of 1897 they were anxious to row together. But Harvard was under an agreement to row Cornell at Poughkeepsie. Yale had no athletic relations with Cornell, but was ad- mitted to the race as it was impossible for Harvard to row twice. Harvard and Yale desired it and Cornell, also —or at least was willing to admit the third crew. Yale did not like the course, but being admitted to a race arranged by others, of course acquiesced. The next year Yale and Harvard ar- ranged to row at New:London. Cor- nell was invited and consented to join. Harvard and Yale united in preferring the New London course. Cornell clung to the Poughkeepsie course. The opinions of all three were unbiased by variations in success, for their crews finished in the same order on both oc- casions. Yale and Harvard have now agreed to row at New London this year. Cornell has been invited to join and has refused, assigning no reason: why it would not be possible for them to par- ticipate. This is, as we understand it, the situation at present. “And now what is to be said of the actions of the three universities. First, Cornell is certainly justified in refusing to row at New London if she considers the course unfair, inaccessible, or in any way unsuitable to her crew or her university. To be sure, it would be gratifying to the other universities if she would state her reasons, but she is not bound so to do. Or if Cornell does not wish to row with Yale unless Yale will consent to play football with her, she is also justified in refusing to row. All Over. The Prom is gone for an- other year. There will be even more KNOX. HATS worn in 1900 than in 1899 —at Prom time, and at all other times. ™ Ai A TU IMIN I “Next, Harvard is in quite as free a position as Cornell. Cornell has no claim on her. Harvard rowed at Poughkeepsie for two years in defer- ence to Cornell’s wishes, and now if either one is debtor it is Cornell. If Harvard wishes to row at New London, and Cornell cares to row with her at all, it would be only fair for her to defer to her opponent’s wish in return for Harvard’s acquiescence under their two-year agreement. : “And now Yale. We hear it said by outsiders that Yale is dictatorial, insin- cere, afraid and ungrateful; dictatorial in trying to force the victor to accept her decrees; insincere in her expres- sions of regret at Cornell’s refusal to row at New London; afraid of the chance of another defeat; ungrateful in forgetting Cornell’s permission to her entrance at Poughkeepsie in 1897. Of these four in order; Yale is not dicta- torial; she does not command; she invites. Dictation implies power to en- force, which Yale has not. As to her sincerity, or lack thereof, we know that it is a matter of real regret at Yale that Cornell has refused. We say this, not because it is to appear in print before the public, but because we know from actual expression of undergraduate Opinion that it is so. When we say we are sorry we do not mean that we are so sorry that we are willing to transfer the race to Poughkeepsie to secure Cor- nell’s presence, but we are genuinely disappointed at Cornell’s declination to row at New London. As to being afraid—that is an expression we do not consider needs a serious reply. This will be read by those who know Yale and they need no answer to such at- tacks. Lastly, as to our feeling no ob- ligation to Cornell. Such is certainly the case. We feel none. When we entered the race of 1897 we felt none. Cornell was, or appeared to be, glad to have Yale row there. Yale never felt or was made to feel that her admission was a great concession. The next year - Yale, with Harvard, invited Cornell to New London, and things were even. Because we rowed with Cornell once or twice, at her invitation or ours, we do not feel obliged to defer to her, so as to interfere with our agreement with Harvard. Nor do we feel obliged to accept Cornell’s opinion as to courses. We want, first, to row Harvard; next, to row at New London, and next, to row Cornell there.” ++ Yale, 2—Columbia, 90. The first game in the contest for the Intercollegiate Hockey championship was played between the Yale and Co- lumbia teams at the Clairmont Avenue Rink in Brooklyn on Wednesday even- ing, January 25th, and resulted in a victory for Yale by the score of 2 to o. The first score, which was made after four minutes of play, was the result of some excellent dribbling by Palmer and a double pass from Barnett to Palmer. The Columbia team then took the of- fensive for a short time, but were soon forced to adopt the defensive. Toward the end of the half Palmer secured the puck on a pass from Campbell, and dribbling the rubber down the ice, as- sisted by Stoddard, Campbell and Bar- nett, scored the second goal by a clever side shoot from the right. The second half, though closely con- tested, brought forth no score. errririecesiccensne lene. Yale, 4—Pennsylvania, 1. On Saturday evenin>. January 28th, the second hockey gamé in the inter- collegiate championship series was played at the St. Nicholas skating rink of New York between the teams of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania. Yale again won by a score of 4 goals to 1. The goal by Brock from the cen- ter of the rink, the accurate passing of the forwards and the all-round work of Captain Stoddard were the features of the game. During the first five minutes of play - Yale’s goal was in danger several times. At last Wallace scored the first and only goal for Pennsylvania. Stoddard made the first score for Yale shortly after- wards, and, three minutes later. Brock lifted from nearly the center of the rink and scored again. In the second half, after ten minutes of play Barnett passed to Stoddard, who drove the puck for a clean goal. Pal- mer made the fourth and last goal shortly before time was called. WY BEBE Y UNIVERSITY CREW. Thirty-Seven Candidates Out—Grad-« uate Coaches Present. Thirty-seven candidates began work for the University Crew on January 26th. The material is considered the most promising which has responded for some years, including all the mem- bers of last year’s University Crew and substitutes, with the exception of Cap- tain Payne Whitney, ’98, and in addi- tion, the men who rowed in the vic- torious Freshman boat last Spring. S. B. Ives, *93; Percy R.. Bolton, ’865. and J. O. Rodgers, ’*98, assisted Dr. Gallaudet and Captain Allen in the tanks on Saturday, and J. A. Hartwell, 80 5;,;-f.

The candidates for the University Track team were called out on Monday, January 30, and will begin work at once under Trainer Copeland and Capt. Fisher. The work for a short time will be confined to distance running and weight exercise. Captain Fisher, C. E. Ordway, 1900, and C. B. Spitzer, ’99, will have charge of the runs. S. B. Chittenden, 1902; D. Boardman, 1902, and W. M. Fincke, 1901 S., have been appointed Freshman Stewards. A complete list of the names of the candi- dates will be printed next week. —____-+«—____— Yale-Harvard Freshman Debate The challenge of the Yale Freshmen Union which was sent to the Harvard Freshman Debating Club for a debate, a short time ago, was promptly accepted by that Club, provided the consent of the Faculty could be obtained. For the last two years the Harvard Faculty has not permitted the Freshman to meet Yale in debate, although a challenge was sent and accepted each year, and it is not thought very probable that they will take a different position at the pres- ent time. ———_++—__ University Club Elections, At a recent meeting of the University Club the following men were elected. 1900—A.

Losing your collar button under the bureau is a part of the day’s work. You have to put up with inevitables. But honestly, this trousers rack we have is a mighty good thing. They call it the ‘‘ Out of Sight” rack. Not such a good name, perhaps, but a good rack. Chase & Co., NEW HAVEN HOUSE BLOCK. HENRY HEATH HATS FRANK A.

Harvard has lately received a legacy of $500,000 by the will of the late Ed- ward Austin, the donor of Austin Hall. The interest of this sum is to be paid to “needy meritorious students and teachers to assist them in the payment of their studies,” but the exact mean- ing of this clause has not as yet been determined. The Bacteriological Lab- oratory of the Harvard Medical School and Radcliffe College will also receive $10,000 and $30,000 respectively. In a recent number of the Harvard Advocate the announcement is made that there being a surplus in the treasury of that paper, $200 has been offered to meritorious undergraduates to be awarded by the Harvard Faculty Committee on Scholarships. These gifts, which are to be known as the Harvard Advocate Scholarships, are to consist of $100 each and are to be awarded to men of high stand, no con- ditions to be imposed except that in case of doubt on the part of the Com- mittee, preference is to be shown to a man who has acquired a high stand in English.
