Plansfor theFootbal l ,Track an d Basebal l FieldsH BOVE is a bird's-eye viewofth e varsity football an d tracksection ofA lumniField as it isplanned to look when completed.Theview is toward the southeast. The areashown in thepicture lies southof thePlaygroundan d Common,an d east ofthe varsity baseball section, whichis ona lower level. Of the buildings shownin the picture, the Bacon Practice Hall,or baseball cage, shownat the bottomof the picture, is completed and in use.The Schoellkopf Memorial Hall, or

varsity training house,is at the left.This buildingis now under construc-tion. It stands exactly southof themain buildingof trie Collegeof Agri-culture. The structureat the top of thepicture representsa clubhouse whichmay be built someday for athletic uses;it is not essentialto the use of the fieldand ismerelya possibilityof the future.

The next step toward the completionof this footballand track field must bethe construction of the large stand orstadium on theeast side of the field,

against Kite Hill. T hiswill be ofcon-crete and isplannedto seat nine thou-sand spectators. T herewill be fifteensections, each seating six hundred per-sons.

In the bui ldingof a field ofthis char-acter, one of the biggest problems isthe handling of the crowds coming toand going from the games. In thepresent case thetraffic scheme has beenthought out carefully. I t presentedserious difficulties on account of thepeculiarly irregular contour of the field,

and thesolutionof thetraffic difficultieshas been responsible for some of thechanges which have delayedthe de-velopmentof the fieldplans. Accessfo r spectators to the large stadiumwillbe through the plaza north of theSchoellkopfbuilding. This plaza willbe dividedin the center so as to separatethe automobile and thefoot traffic, thecars keepingto the north sideand thepedestriansto the south side,and hav-ing separate entrancesto the enclosure.Above the stadium there willbe two

terraces (not three,as indicatedin thepicture) for autom obiles. F rom thecars ranged here a large number of spec-tators, in addition to the 9,000 whomthe stadium may contain, willbe ableto see games. Their"line of sight"will be over the heads of the spectatorsin the stadium andwilltake in the wholefield, even runnerson the track just atthe foot of the stadium being visible tothem . Such excellent provisio nfo rspectators in automobilesat impor tantgames is believed to be unique.

After the games on this field thetraffic from the fieldwill be completelyseparated,fo r spectatorson foot willgoout of the stadium on the north side,where they came in, while the auto-mobiles willgo out at the south sidetoSouth Aven ue. Thetraffic scheme hasbeen designedto keep al l spectatorsof fthe field proper. Accessto the severalsections of the stadium will be througha promenade,ten feet wide, at theback, an d there will alsobe an aislerunningalong thefront.

C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S 369

On the opposite side of the field thereis a space where additional seating maybe provided by steel stands, and onthat side of the field there will be a com-modious press stand. Spectators goingto these stands willnot have to trespasson the field, but will use an entranceleading from the main plaza. An openspace west of the Schoellkopf buildingand north of the baseball cage will beused fo r storing automobiles whoseowners wish to sit in the stands.

The field will contain a quarter-mileoval cinder track and a 220-yardstraightaway. In the semi-circular spacenorth of the football gridiron will beplaces for the shot-put, the pole vault,and the high and broad jump.

Plans for the varsity baseball fieldhave not yet been worked out so fullyas those for the football and track fielddescribed above, but they have beenoutlined. That field lies on a lowerlevel, adjoining the terrace on whichthe baseball cage stands. It will bethree fields in onea match diamond,with a stadium, at the north end of thefield; a practice diamond at the southend, and a practice football field be-tween the two diamonds. That soundslarger than it really is, for the practicefootballfield, in the middle, will be theoutfield of the two baseball diamonds.In other words, the two baseball dia-

monds, at opposite ends of the lot, willhave a common outfield,which will beused in the fall for footballpractice.This arrangement will result in economyof space. South of the baseball cage,on the same level (a terrace between thefootballand baseball levels) is a spacewhich will be used for a permanentboard track and a 100-yard straight-away. The track willbe ten laps to themile. It will probably be covered.

The baseball stadium will be in theform of a truncated right angle andwillface the south. It willstand againsta bank which bounds the baseball fieldon the north, and will be entered fromthe back, or north side, where a road,the main approach from East Avenueto the fields, will run. The continua-tion of this road is shown in the pictureas the plaza in front of the SchoellkopfMemorial. These entrances at theback of the baseball stadium will beabout half way up the height of thestructure, on a level with the road, whichis higher at that point than the field.There will be a parking space for auto-mobiles around the out-field.

The approach for street cars to thesefields will probably be by means of aspur track extending from the existingline at East Avenue a short distanceup South Avenue and thence a littlefurther to the north. After alighting,passengers will have a walk of abouta hundred yards to the baseball stadium,or about three hundred yards to theentrance of the football and trackstadium.

M ay Be a Cornell BattalionPlan to Have Cornell Men Serve To-

gether in Case of a Call for VolunteersIn case of a call for volunteers to take

part in Mexican hostilities Cornell menwill probably serve together. Lieu-tenant H. T. Bull, commandant of thecadet corps, anticipating a possible call,has made out an enrollment list, andalready about 250 undergraduates havesigned it. Lieutenant Bull has takenthis step with the approval of PresidentSchurman, not only to enable Cornellm en to serve together in case of war,but to prevent undergraduates fromleaving college in the growing excite-men t to enlist in volunteer regimentsat home. The men who have signedthe enrollment list have not obligatedthemselves to enlist, but have simplymade it more easy for Lieutenant Bullto organize a battalion in case of war.

Thirty of the thirty-six commissionedofficershave signed the list.The commandant has furthermore

sent to the War Department his list ofrecommendations fo r volunteer com-missions this year a little earlier thanusual, besides a list giving the presentaddresses of all commissioned officersin the cadet corps for the past tenyears. He is also preparing a list ofall non-commissioned officers for thepast ten years.

Of the men who have enrolled so farmore than half are not at present inthe cadet corps. Most of them, how-ever, have drilled while in college, withthe exception of some who have re-ceived drill excuses for athletics.

In case a Cornell battalion should becalledout Lieutenant Bull would proba-bly be in command. The UniversityProctor, Theodore Twesten, who sawservice in the Indian wars, has signifiedhis intention of enlisting by signing theenrollment list. Any Cornell alumniwho contemplate volunteer enlistmentare requested to communicate with thecommandant.

Summer Geological TourProfessor Harris Will Cruise on At-

lantic Coast Inland Waters

Professor G. D. Harris '86, paleon-tological specialist of the departmentof geology, will leave Ithaca early inJune in a thirty-foot motor boat nowbuilding at Champaign Brothers' totake an inland trip down the AtlanticCoast for the purpose of studying thegeological formations on the route andto add to the University's collection ofgeological specimens. He will be ac-companiedby six or eight graduatestudents who are specializing in paleon-tology. This will be the trird trip ofa similar nature made by ProfessorHarris, the other two having been takenfifteen and sixteen years ago. Al-though the financing and planning ofthe trip are done by Professor Harris,the expedition is not unconnected withthe University, since he makes up bythese summer excursions the leave ofabsence .granted him annually duringthe last half of the first term. Further-more, the students who accompany himwill receive university credit.

The party will proceed through theErie Canal to Albany, down the Hud-son to New York, thence across NewJersey by the New Brunswick canal,into the Delaware River, down to Phil-adelphia, and into Chesapeake Bay via

the Delaware-Chesapeake Canal. Theparty will spend a few days in Wash-ington, whence they will go up theJames River and into the canals of theDismal Swamps. The trip willprobablyend at Wilmington, North Carolina,where a number of trips will be takenby rail.

This journey will be taken with bet-ter facilitiesthan ever before, and willcover a territory rich in opportunitiesfor study, since it includes both theolder formations of New York stateand the newer formations of the south.

A m o n g the men who have taken

similar tours with Professor Harriswhilestudents at Cornell are : ProfessorR. E. Cummings of Indiana University,G. C. Martin of the U. S. GeologicalSurvey, T. A. Caine of the U. S. Agri-cultural Survey, and J. A. Pacheco,geological expert for one of the Bra-zilian states.

THE A D V A N C ESALEof the 1915 Cor-nellin has begun. The book will bedelivered about the first of May.

At the meeting in New York onApril 18 a scheme of administrationwas outlined. The outline seemed tomeet with general approval from allmembers of the committee. In a goodmany cases a desire was expressed fortime to look into the advisability of

changes recommended and the detailsof operations proposed. That madeanother meeting necessary.

Those who were present at the NewYork meeting were the members ofthe committee, James H. Edwards,Frank H. Hiscock, John H. Barr,George C. Boldt, H. H. Westinghouse,Mynderse Van Cleef, President Schur-m an and Treasurer Williams; C. D.Bostwick, assistant treasurer; RogerLewis, president of the Associate A lumni ;George C. Miller, delegate from theWestern New York alumni association;F. M. Nellis, president of the NewEngland club, and Mr. Patterson, dele-gate from that club; W. A. Mosscropand R. C. Edlund, delegates from theBrooklyn association; A. J. Himesand J. P. Harris, delegates from theNortheastern Ohio association; A. D.Warner, jr., delegate from the Wil-mington association, and W. W. Ricker,delegate from the Cornell Club ofN ew York.

Students Here from MexicoEight of Them at Present Attending the

University

There are eight students from Mexico

registered in the University this year.They are : Jose Bracho and MiguelBracho, of Durango; Carlos ManuelCastillo and Manula Jesus Castillo, ofMerida, Yucatan; Alejandro R. Cota,of Fuerte, Sinaloa; Ernesto Ornelas,of San Pedro, Coahuila; Rodrigo Ben-nett Rodriguez, of Mapimi, Durango,and Federico Terrazas, of Chihuahua.

Ornelas was bow oar on the freshmancrew two years ago and is rowing in thevarsity squad this spring. He comesfrom the same town in the state of

Coaliuila as Evaristo E. Madero, brotherof the murdered President of Mexico.Yo u n gMadero took his degree in agri-culture in the class of 1913. The townof San Pedro is only a few miles fromTorreon, the scene of recent fightingbetween the Huertist and Constitu-tionalist forces. Not far away is Mapi-m i, the home of Rodriguez. FedericoTerrazas is a son of Luis Terrazas, jr.His family was one of the great landowners of Northern Mexico until thepresent revolution.

A m o n grecent graduates from Mexicoare Octavio Carvajal l, a pitcher onthe varsity nine, whose home is atTlacotalpan, near the city of Vera Cruz,and Jose Antonio Ostos '08, who wasrecently with the Huasteca Petroleum

Company at Tampico.

Would Change Phi Beta KappaProfessor Comfort Advocates a Radi-

cally New Method of ElectionProfessor W. W. Comfort, head of

the department of Romance languages,proposed a radical change in the methodof election to Phi Beta Kappa, in hisspeech as retiring president of the Cor-nell chapter at the annual initiationbanquet Friday night. He suggestedthat instead of confiningthe member-ship of the society to the forty-oddstu-dents who receive the highest marks as at

present, half of the quota from eachclass be taken in the junior year solelyon the basis of standings, these studentsto choose an equal number not en-tirely on this basis, in the senior year.

"I should let the undergraduatemembers at the middle of the senioryear double their number," said Pro-fessor Comfort, "thus bringing theirtotal up to the full quota, merely stip-ulating that they elect only studentswhose average is above 75 or 80, asmay be determined. The latter partof the plan would insure a featurewhich is now lacking, namely, some

participation of the undergraduates inthe elections of their classmates. It isprobable that they know their con-temporaries better than the Facultyknows them, and that their pride in asociety to which they have already be-longed for a year would guarantee achoicewhich would be fairly consistentwith the judgment of the Faculty elec-tors. By this method, too, the responsi-bility would be fairly fixed. The Fac-ulty has the right to decide through itsranking system who are the highest

members of any class. But the mo-ment that criterion is set aside, theundergraduates become the best judges,and should bear the responsibility oftheir own elections.*'

As the initiation banquet is the lastgathering of the year, n o action willbe taken on Professor Comfort's sug-gestion until next fall. Other speakerswere Professor Hoeing of RochesterUniversity, Professor Metzler of Syra-cuse University, and Professor C. S.Northup, secretary of the local chapter.The total attendance was eighty-six,forty-two of whom were n ew members.

The Auditorium OrganA Description of the Instrument Which

Is Now About CompletedThe great organ in the new auditorium

of the College of Agriculture is prac-tically completed. It will not, however,be ready for use at the Music Festivalthis week. Other arrangements will bemade for the "Faust" concert on Sat-urday evening, when it was planned touse the new organ.

A booklet entitled "Story of CornellUniversity Organ Contract" has beenpublishedby J. W. Steere & Son, ofSpringfield,Mass., the builders of theorgan. It tells of the thorough investi-gation that was made by Andrew D.W h i te before the contract was given,and describes the organ, which will, itsays, rival in its completeness the bestinstrument on either side of the At-lantic. The organ is described as follows:

"It will have six distinct departments,as follows: The great, solo and pedalorgans, which will be located on thestage of the auditorium; the swellorgan, located in a room on the secondor gallery floor, opening out througha thick wall at the east end of the stage;the choir organ, located in a room onthe second or gallery floor, opening outthrough a thick wall at the west end ofthe stage, and an echo organ, which

will be situated * * * in thedomeof the roof. * * * Amovable con-sole will be attached by means of anelectric cable, which makes it possibleto play the organ from any part of theauditorium.

"Among the numerous attachmentswill be the celesta stop giving the tonesof an Italian harp; a special orchestraoboe, a clarinet of unusually fine quality,a vox humana, and a full set of cathedralchimes. T he windsupply will be fur-nished by a 25-horse-power electric


7/16


Orgoblo located in the basement of theauditorium. An unusual feature of theinstrument is the fact that it is to havefour keyboards instead of the customarythree on most of the complex organsof the country. In all, there will beseventy-nine speaking stops, of whichan unusual number will be of the stringtone variety, many having been recentlydeveloped by the builders. The organwill be the property of Cornell Univer-sity, and the State of New York loansthe auditorium for the purpose of hous-ing the organ."

PHI BETA KAPPA ORATIONS

The Phi Beta Kappa Society hasdelegated to a committee consisting of

Professor Clark S. Northup '93, of Cor-nell; Mr. W. C. Lane, Librarian of theHarvard University Library, and Mr.John C. Schwab, Librarian of the YaleUniversity Library, the preparation ofa volume of representative Phi BetaKappa orations. Some scores of notableaddresses have been delivered beforethe various chapters of the societysince its organization in 1776. It isproposed to publish fifteen or twentyof these in a volume of some five hun-dred pages, with a photogravure front-ispiece, in a limited edition, througha house known for the excellence of itspublications. As the committee mustguarantee the publishers a sale of fivehundred copies, they invite subscrip-tions, which may be sent to any mem-ber of the committee. The price of thebook willnot exceed three dollars.

ELECTIONS TO BETH L'AMED

Beth L'Amed, the even year socialclub, has elected the followingmenfrom the sophomore class : C. Barrett,W. C. Cool, A. R. Gilman, R. A. B.Goodman,J. D. Guthery, S. E. Hunkin,C. D. Johnson, J. S. Lewis, D. Lincoln,A. D. Meaney, M. N. Shelton.

THE GUILFORD PRIZE WINNER

An error was made last week in giv-ing the name of the GuilfordPrize win-ner as E. R. de Lima. The prize waswon by Ernest A. de Lima, of NewYork, son of Elias A. de Lima '86. TheGuilford Prize, founded in 1902 by thelate James B. Guilford to promote "ahigh standard of excellence in Englishprose composition," consists of about$150, the annual income from his be-quest of $3,000.

BOOK AND BOWL

BOOK AN D BOWL held its annualbanquet at the Dutch Kitchen lastThursday night. The guest of honorwas President Schurman, who spokeon the situation in the Balkans. Hebegan his talk with a reference to thecrisis in Mexico, saying that if thiscountry were drawn into war withMexico only one thing could be pre-dicted with certainty, and that wasthat the war would be full of surprises.

He went on to review the two Balkanwars and to show how events there hadshaped themselves in totally unex-pected ways. Among these surpriseswere the overwhelming defeat of theTurks, the strength revealed by Greeceand by the Balkan States generally, thesuccessful financing of ,the wars by theBalkan States, the defeat of Bulgariain the second war, the failureof Russiato become the diplomatic victor, andthe large gains in territory made byGreece and Servia.

Lacrosse. The first home contestas well as the first league game resultedin a victory for Cornell over Stevensby a score of 9 to 0 at Percy Field Sat-urday. The varsity twelve played to-gether well and displayed good formconsidering the muddy condition of thefield. Stevens, however, was not astrong opponent, having just been de-feated by Hobart, a team which Cor-nell has already beaten in a practicegame. Cornell's goals were scored byRandolph, Danforth, and Lawles. Ran-dolph, with a total of four goals scored,was the star of the attack, while Collinsand Grimes played well on the defense.

Tennis. The tennis squad, whichwas called out last week, has been cutdown to twelve men, and is now prac-ticing regularly. Only two of last year'ssuccessful team are now available,Captain C. C X Benton '15, and W. J.

Bowers '15. H. W.

THE C H R I S T IA N A S S O C I AT IO Nseemsto be entering upon a period of greatlyincreased usefulness to the University.W ithinthe last two or three years theproportion of undergraduates interestedin the association's work ha s becomemuch larger, probably because the

scope of the work has been extended.Barnes Hall ha s become much morethan a mere center fo rBible study. T hevarious kinds of activity which nowhave their center there appeal to a vari-ety ofmen. T he work had been sosuc-cessful and had somuch promise ofgreater success that an experienced manwas needed to take charge of it and keepit going from year to year. Before thetrustees invited Mr. Charles W. White-hair to take the post of general secre-tary they put the matter up to the uni-

versity community. They told whatthe association had accomplished, whatthe larger field was which it hoped tofill, an d just what the increased expensewould be. The response left no doubtthat the community was ready to supportthe association in carrying out its plans.Since then the results of the canvass ofFaculty and undergraduates have showna similar sentiment. Two thousand dol-lars is a generous sum for theFacultyto give. T he doubling of undergraduatecontributionsto the association in twoyears shows that students are standingbehind the work at Barnes Hall.

EIGHTY-FOUR'S INVITATION

To All Members of the Classes of '82,'83, '85, and '86:

You are probably aware of the factthat at the resent midwinter meetingof the Association of Class Secretariesa plan was suggested for adding ma-terially to the interest of Alumni Daysin June by inviting all classes in groupsof five to assemble at a common centerfo r Al um ni festivities. Each reunionclass according to this plan would bethe main show, as it properly shouldbe, but in the same big tent it can veryproperly invite any members of thetwo adjacent classes on either side who

may by chance be present in Ithaca tojoin in the reunion festivities.

This brieflyoutlines the plan, and theClass of '84, through its Secretary, de-sires to invite most cordially any mem-bers of the Classes of '82, '83, '85, and'86 who may be present in Ithaca onAl um ni Days to join with us in anyclass festivities which may be organizedand to be present at our Thirty-YearReunion Dinner which will be held inthe Ithaca Hotel on the evening of Sat-urday, June 12, 1914.

This group of classes were all to-gether in the University at one time oranother and I feel sure that such anarrangement would add much to thepleasure of all of us. May I express thehope on behalf of my own classmatesthat this invitation will meet with yourapproval and that we may have thepleasure of seeing a goodly number ofour almost classmates present at ourReunion Dinner.

Cordially yours,

Seventeen Innings and Not a RunLafayette and Cornell played a re-

markable game at Percy Field onWednesday afternoon of last week.The game lasted for seventeen inningswithout either side getting a run. Itwas called about 6 o'clock because theLafayette team had to catch a train forSyracuse.

"Steve" Regan pitched for Cornell.He struck out no less than twenty-onemen. He had thirteen strike-outs inthe first nine innings, not quite equalto the record of fourteen made by Cor-nell's sophomore pitcher, Russell, inthe Niagara game. Besides that, Reganmade eight assists.

Although Girard, the Lafayettepitcher, struck out only five men, theCornell batters were unable to hitsafely to any great extent. The nearestthe home team came to getting a run

was in the fifteenth inning. Donovanand Bills both singled, and althoughGrossman struck out, Baugher drew apass which filled the bases with onlyone out. But Taber went out on afoul fly and Ludwig sent an easy fly toright field. The batting of the Cornellteam as a whole was disappointing, al-though the fielding of the Lafayetteplayers was high class. The Cornellmen as a rule batted into the air, asthe number of put-outs by the Lafay-ette outfielders shows. Besides the

fifteenth inning, described above, Cor-nell men reached second on only twooccasions, both times on sacrifice hits.One Lafayette man got to second andone to third.

Bills made a good play in the six-teenth when he stopped a fast grounderbeyond second base and threw to firstahead of the runner. In the first inningHelfrich made a difficult catch of afoul fly, running into the Cornell players'bench to get the ball.

Both pitchers weakened a little to-ward the end of the long game, butneither team showed an y sign of "break-ing." The score :

Interscholastic Track MeetThirty Schools Entered Thus Fa rThirty preparatory schools have al-

ready signified their intention of enter-

ing the Interscholastic Track Meet tobe held in Ithaca on May 9, the dayof the Harvard Track Meet. Abouttwenty schools have not yet been heardfrom. As the entries close May 1, alist of the schools entering will be com-pleted next week. Funds for the sup-poet of the meet have been subscribedto date by twenty-eight fraternities.The junior honorary society, AlephSamach, has also canvassed the under-graduates for contributions. Althougha larger number of schools will enter the

meet this year than last, the subscrip-tions are coming in more slowly thanusual. J. M. Horn '14, manager of

freshmantrack,

who is incharge

of themeet, expects that at least thirty-fiveschools will participate.

At th e Penn Relay GamesCornell Did Fairly Well in the Field

Events But Not on tK e TrackCornell's one and four mile relay teams

finished third in the two importantraces at the Pennsylvania Relays Sat-urday. The four mile race was a re-markable struggle between Oxford andPennsylvania, Cornell and Pennsyl-vania State being outclassed. C. F.Souder '16 started for Cornell andtouched

D. F. Potter '16 a fewyards

behind the Oxford and Pennsylvaniarunners. Potter and H. E. Irish '16,who ran third, both lost much ground.C. L. Speiden '15 ran the last mile forCornell. He had to fight his waythrough the crowd to finish when thestands emptied out on the strack be-hind Jackson of Oxford an d McCurdyof Pennsylvania. Jackson, th e Olympic1500 meter champion, won by a scantoot amid great excitement.

Cornell looked good in the mile relayuntil the third quarter, when A. B. Me-haffey '15 did not come up to the form ex-pected of him. V an Winkle an d Lewis,the two sophomores, ran fast quarters,the latter tying Rock of Harvard in502-5 seconds. D. S. Caldwell '14started the last quarter so far behindthe Harvard and Pennsylvania runnersthat he was unable to make up anything.Barron of Harvard finished ahead ofLippincott of Pennsylvania.

In the field events Cornell was fairlywell represented. H. W. Morrison '15,a new man on the squad this year, wonthe high jump at 5 feet 9 inches, beat-ing out Douglass of Yale, Camp andJohnstone of Harvard, Ward of South-ern California, Pawlson of Lafayette,

and Hallett of Haverford, all of whomtied for second at 5 feet 7 inches.Morrison also finished third in the

broad jump with a mark of 20 feet 11 1-4inches. Drew of Southern Californiawo n this event at 22 feet, Gooch ofVirginia finishing second with a jumpof 21 feet 6 inches.

A . L. Milton '15 tied for second placein the pole vault with Buck of Dart-mouth, Carter of Yale, and McMasterof Pittsburgh, at 11 feet 6 inches. Thisevent was won by Borgstrom of South-


11/16


ern California with a vault of 12 feet.K. C. McCutcheon '15 placed second

in the hammer throw with a mark of

141 feet 1-2 inch, Loughridge of Yalewinning with a throw of 142 feet 9 1-2inches. Kohler of Michigan andCald-well of Y ale were thirdan d fourth, withthrows of 134 feet 9 inches and 130 feet4 inches respectively.

RowingA succession of substitutions and

shifts ha s characterized the rowing ofth e past tw o weeks. Thus far none ofthe numerous combinations tried outhas seemed to satisfy Mr. Courtney.Impromptu races have resultedin veryclose finishes in which the varsity boathas usually succeededin nosing out thejunior varsity crewsand the freshmen.A climax in the list of mediocre perform-ances was reached Monday when th efirst crew, without th e services of itsregular coxswain and with A llen row-ing for the first time in ten days, lostby a length to the freshmen in a twomile race on the lake. The two juniorvarsity crews came in almost togetherabout half a length behind the varsity.

With about three weeks left to pre-pare for the Navy Day regatta withY ale and Princeton, fu rther shifts areprobable in case th e varsity does no tshow improvemen t. The present com-bination bears but slight resemblanceto that of the first water practice, al -though it is composed of nearly all thesame men. On Monday the men rowedas follows : Bow, Eddy; 2, Butts; 3,A llen; 4, Oilman; 5, Welles; 6, Bird;7, O'Brien; stroke, Spransy.

A n interesting struggle is going onbetween the other two varsity crewsrowing at the boathouse, only one ofwhich is eating at the training table.They finished only a fifth of a secondapart in the race Monday. It has notye t been decided whethera third crew

will be taken on the training table inaddition to the first two or whether arace will be held between the twojuniorvarsity crews to determine superiorityan d the right to the table.

Word has been received from th ePrinceton an d Y ale managementsas totheir arrival in Ithaca . Princetonwillarrive on the Thursday before NavyDay and Ya l e on Friday. The Prince-ton men will stay at the Delta KappaEpsilon houseand the Yale men at thePhi Delta Theta house.
