220 VTATH ALUMNI WHHEHEKLY For Gymnastic ‘Championship. The intercollegiate gymnastic contest for the championship of the United States will be held March 24, in the gymnasium of New York’ University, University Heights. It will be the first meet of the kind ever attempted, and the place to be occupied by college gymnastics in the future will depend largely on its success. In each event the contestants will be given a_certain number of points ac- cording to the excellence of their work, and to the three having the greater number of points at the end of the con- test, will be awarded cups as first, second and third prizes. The man making the highest score will hold the intercollegiate all-round championship for a year. Cups will also be given to the winners of first, second and third. places in each event. The Yale team will probably consist of six or eight men, three of whom—R. G. ‘Clapp; ‘990 S:, Captain: W. L:* Otis, 1900, and E. L. Eliason, 1901—will com- pete for the all-round championship. The other members of the team will be chosen later, and will probably be en- tered in only one or two events. The three men above mentioned are better fitted to compete for the cham- pionship, because they have not devoted their time to any one apparatus, but have become almost equally proficient with all of them. There will be the customary list of events: horizontal bar, parallel bars, side-horse, tumbling, flying rings, and club swinging. A gymnastic exhibition has also been arranged between Columbia, Princeton and Yale, to take place at the new Columbia gymnasium, March to. This will be considered the formal opening of the gymnasium. The exhibition will be followed by a dance and the Glee and Banjo Clubs of Columbia will render selections at different times during the evening. Yale and Columbia will work on the horizontal bar, parallel bars, flying rings and horse, while Princeton’s time will be devoted to the flying and double trapeze. All three teams will close the program with exhibitions in club and baton swinging, tumbling and pyramids. a, dm» ~~ oo Freshman Football Report.

Extract Freshman Debating. A challenge was sent recently by the Yale Freshman Union to the Harvard 1902 Debating Society. This challenge was promptly accepted by the Harvard Freshmen. The Faculty of Harvard are, however, opposed to all intercol- legiate Freshman debating, and at a re- cent meeting refused to ratify the Har- vard Freshmen’s acceptance. It is well known from the last report of President Eliot that he is opposed to all forms of Freshman ‘intercollegiate contests and especially to Freshman debating. This will, without doubt, put a stop to all further attempts to secure a Fresh- man debate between the two colleges. Lp» ae ee Chi Delta Theta Elections.

Bull, ’88S., who 1s studying in the Medical School, has consented to coach these men and especial attention will be given to kicking. ws i, fie hie ate Scrub Crews Begin Work.
