TffORMER students of Professor m P \ John Henry Comstock have raised a fund, to be known as the Comstock Memorial Library Fund, which is to be presented to the University for a permanent memorial of Professor Comstock's years of distinguished service. He is to retire from active teaching as a member of the Faculty next June* at the age of sixty-five. The ceremony of presentation will take place on the afternoon of Saturday, June 13, the second of the two Alumni Days. A place has been given it on the official program, following immediately after the alumni luncheon. It will be held in one of the buildings of the College of Agriculture, perhaps in the assembly room of the main building. Just before the presentation exercises the University chimes will be rungan appropriate ceremony because Mr. Comstock was the Master of the Chimes in 1873. Addresses will be delivered by Dr. L. H. Bailey; by a member of Professor Cornstock's class (1874) who signed the petition for his first course in entomology in 1872; and by a former student. The Memorial Library Fund will then be presented to Professor Comstock in behalf of the contributors. He, in turn, will present the fund to Cornell University. The exercises will be concluded with an address by President Schurman, accepting the trust in behalf of the University. THE BUILDING COMMITTEE of the Board of Trustees has had a meeting and discussed the question of a site for the new drill hall. A report and a recommendation will be made to the Trustees at the board's meeting here next Saturday. The board will probably receive also a recommendation from the State Architect with respect to the selection of the architect of the new building. THE INTERFRATERNITY ASSOCIATION is discussing the question of further changes in the rushing rules for next year. A meeting was held this week, but the question was left to a later meeting, at which the government of the association will be turned over to

the junior delegates, and officers for next year will be elected. A motion was passed expressing the opinion of the association that Junior Week and Senior Week house parties should not begin until after term examinations end. Another fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho, was admitted to the association.
A COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS by J.

Andre Smith '02, of New York, is now on exhibition at the College of Architecture. The exhibition will continue 'until May 8. This collection has just been shown at Hahlo's gallery in New York. THE SALE of season tickets for the Music Festival to be held this week was very large, only about 225 seats being unsold on the day the sale opened. A good many of these will be available, however, for persons who wish to attend single concerts. The seating capacity of the hall will be slightly reduced because it has been necessary to extend the stage. There will be seats for about 1970 persons. THE DRAMATIC CLUB announces that three short plays will be given at the Lyceum Theatre on May 8. They are "A Clerical Error," by Henry Arthur Jones; "Fritzchen," by Hermann Sudermann; and "Press Cuttings." THE SAVAGE CLUB is rehearsing for an entertainment to be given in the Lyceum Theatre on Friday evening, May 15. The entertainment will consist of two parts. The first part will include several short acts of a burlesque nature. The second will be a one-act farce which will give opportunity for the introducton of the specialties for which the Savages are famous. The farce was written by a member of the club. Its name is as yet a secret. WORK HAS BEGUN in the beautifying of Six Mile Creek Gorge, the expense being met by funds which have been raised by the Civic Improvement Association. The work now being done consists in the planting of trees ,and shrubs to hide the view of the lumber yard from East State Street. A row of

Lombardy poplars will be set out around the yard. Along State Street poplars and lilacs have been planted. Plans have been drawn by Mr. Warren H. Manning for approaches to the gorges and paths and drives which are to run some distance up the ravine. The work which is being done here will make the main approach to the Campus from the town much more attractive than it is now. A DEBATE between Janus, a Cornell debating society, and a team representing the Barnard Literary Society, of Columbia, was held at the Telluride Association last Saturday night and was won by the Cornell team, which was composed of H. G. Wilson '12, C. M. Harrington '15, and J. D. Kerr '16. The question discussed was whether President Wilson's Mexican policy was justifiable, and the Cornell team contended that it was not. The judges were F. D. Boynton, Superintendent of the Ithaca Schools; J. F. Dunne, of Cascadilla School, and the Rev. Mr. Lambert, of Ithaca. Their decision was two to one in favor of Cornell.
THE FRESHMAN DEBATE TEAM Was

defeated in its triangular contest with the freshmen of Columbia and Pennsylvania, both its affirmative and its negative team being unsuccessful. Pennsylvania was the winner. THE COSMOPOLITAN CLUB observed Russian night last Saturday. The principal address was given by Professor Catterall, who spoke on the history of Russia. Members of the Russian colony at Cornell provided other entertainment. THE TAX ASSESSORS of Ithaca have granted to five fraternities reductions in their assessments. The five are those which have houses on the campus under leaseholds from the University, namely, Kappa Alpha, Psi Upsilon, Sigma Phi, Delta Upsilon, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. The reductions granted are as follows : Kappa Alpha, $22,000 to $15,000; Delta Upsilon, $16,000 to $12,000; Delta Kappa Epsilon, $20,000 to $12,000; Psi Upsilon, $15,000 to $10,000; Sigma Phi, $15,000 to $10,000.

Plans for the Football, Track and Baseball Fields

BOVE is a bird's-eye view of the varsity football and track section of Alumni Field as it is planned to look when completed. The view is toward the southeast. The area shown in the picture lies south of the Playground and Common, and east of the varsity baseball section, which is on a lower level. Of the buildings shown in the picture, the Bacon Practice Hall, or baseball cage, shown at the bottom of the picture, is completed and in use. The Schoellkopf Memorial Hall, or varsity training house, is at the left. This building is now under construction. It stands exactly south of the main building of trie College of Agriculture. The structure at the top of the picture represents a clubhouse which may be built some day for athletic uses; it is not essential to the use of the field and is merely a possibility of the future. The next step toward the completion of this football and track field must be the construction of the large stand or stadium on the east side of the field,

against Kite Hill. This will be of concrete and is planned to seat nine thousand spectators. There will be fifteen sections, each seating six hundred persons. In the building of a field of this character, one of the biggest problems is the handling of the crowds coming to and going from the games. In the present case the traffic scheme has been thought out carefully. It presented serious difficulties on account of the peculiarly irregular contour of the field, and the solution of the traffic difficulties has been responsible for some of the changes which have delayed the development of the field plans. Access for spectators to the large stadium will be through the plaza north of the Schoellkopf building. This plaza will be divided in the center so as to separate the automobile and the foot traffic, the cars keeping to the north side and the pedestrians to the south side, and having separate entrances to the enclosure. Above the stadium there will be two

terraces (not three, as indicated in the picture) for automobiles. From the cars ranged here a large number of spectators, in addition to the 9,000 whom the stadium may contain, will be able to see games. Their "line of sight" will be over the heads of the spectators in the stadium and will take in the whole field, even runners on the track just at the foot of the stadium being visible to them. Such excellent provision for spectators in automobiles at important games is believed to be unique. After the games on this field the traffic from the field will be completely separated, for spectators on foot will go out of the stadium on the north side, where they came in, while the automobiles will go out at the south side to South Avenue. The traffic scheme has been designed to keep all spectators off the field proper. Access to the several sections of the stadium will be through a promenade, ten feet wide, at the back, and there will also be an aisle running along the front.

CORNELL
On the opposite side of the field there is a space where additional seating may be provided by steel stands, and on that side of the field there will be a commodious press stand. Spectators going to these stands will not have to trespass on the field, but will use an entrance leading from the main plaza. An open space west of the Schoellkopf building and north of the baseball cage will be used for storing automobiles whose owners wish to sit in the stands. The field will contain a quarter-mile oval cinder track and a 220-yard straightaway. In the semi-circular space north of the football gridiron will be places for the shot-put, the pole vault, and the high and broad jump. Plans for the varsity baseball field have not yet been worked out so fully as those for the football and track field described above, but they have been outlined. That field lies on a lower level, adjoining the terrace on which the baseball cage stands. It will be three fields in onea match diamond, with a stadium, at the north end of the field; a practice diamond at the south end, and a practice football field between the two diamonds. That sounds larger than it really is, for the practice football field, in the middle, will be the outfield of the two baseball diamonds. In other words, the two baseball diamonds, at opposite ends of the lot, will have a common outfield, which will be used in the fall for football practice. This arrangement will result in economy of space. South of the baseball cage, on the same level (a terrace between the football and baseball levels) is a space which will be used for a permanent board track and a 100-yard straightaway. The track will be ten laps to the mile. It will probably be covered. The baseball stadium will be in the form of a truncated right angle and will face the south. It will stand against a bank which bounds the baseball field on the north, and will be entered from the back, or north side, where a road, the main approach from East Avenue to the fields, will run. The continuation of this road is shown in the picture as the plaza in front of the Schoellkopf Memorial. These entrances at the back of the baseball stadium will be about half way up the height of the structure, on a level with the road, which is higher at that point than the field. There will be a parking space for automobiles around the out-field.

The approach for street cars to these fields will probably be by means of a spur track extending from the existing line at East Avenue a short distance up South Avenue and thence a little further to the north. After alighting, passengers will have a walk of about a hundred yards to the baseball stadium, or about three hundred yards to the entrance of the football and track stadium.

May Be a Cornell Battalion

Plan to Have Cornell Men Serve Together in Case of a Call for Volunteers In case of a call for volunteers to take part in Mexican hostilities Cornell men will probably serve together. Lieutenant H. T. Bull, commandant of the cadet corps, anticipating a possible call, has made out an enrollment list, and already about 250 undergraduates have signed it. Lieutenant Bull has taken this step with the approval of President Schurman, not only to enable Cornell men to serve together in case of war, but to prevent undergraduates from leaving college in the growing excitement to enlist in volunteer regiments at home. The men who have signed the enrollment list have not obligated themselves to enlist, but have simply made it more easy for Lieutenant Bull to organize a battalion in case of war. Thirty of the thirty-six commissioned officers have signed the list. The commandant has furthermore sent to the War Department his list of recommendations for volunteer commissions this year a little earlier than usual, besides a list giving the present addresses of all commissioned officers in the cadet corps for the past ten years. He is also preparing a list of all non-commissioned officers for the past ten years. Of the men who have enrolled so far more than half are not at present in the cadet corps. Most of them, however, have drilled while in college, with the exception of some who have received drill excuses for athletics. In case a Cornell battalion should be called out Lieutenant Bull would probably be in command. The University Proctor, Theodore Twesten, who saw service in the Indian wars, has signified his intention of enlisting by signing the enrollment list. Any Cornell alumni who contemplate volunteer enlistment are requested to communicate with the commandant.

Professor Harris Will Cruise on Atlantic Coast Inland Waters Professor G. D. Harris '86, paleontological specialist of the department of geology, will leave Ithaca early in June in a thirty-foot motor boat now building at Champaign Brothers' to take an inland trip down the Atlantic Coast for the purpose of studying the geological formations on the route and to add to the University's collection of geological specimens. He will be accompanied by six or eight graduate students who are specializing in paleontology. This will be the trird trip of a similar nature made by Professor Harris, the other two having been taken fifteen and sixteen years ago. Although the financing and planning of the trip are done by Professor Harris, the expedition is not unconnected with the University, since he makes up by these summer excursions the leave of absence .granted him annually during the last half of the first term. Furthermore, the students who accompany him will receive university credit. The party will proceed through the Erie Canal to Albany, down the Hudson to New York, thence across New Jersey by the New Brunswick canal, into the Delaware River, down to Philadelphia, and into Chesapeake Bay via the Delaware-Chesapeake Canal. The party will spend a few days in Washington, whence they will go up the James River and into the canals of the Dismal Swamps. The trip will probably end at Wilmington, North Carolina, where a number of trips will be taken by rail. This journey will be taken with better facilities than ever before, and will cover a territory rich in opportunities for study, since it includes both the older formations of New York state and the newer formations of the south. Among the men who have taken similar tours with Professor Harris while students at Cornell are : Professor R. E. Cummings of Indiana University, G. C. Martin of the U. S. Geological Survey, T. A. Caine of the U. S. Agricultural Survey, and J. A. Pacheco, geological expert for one of the Brazilian states. THE ADVANCE SALE of the 1915 Cornellin has begun.

List of Those Present at the Committee's New York Meeting As was announced last week, the Trustees committee appointed to consider a revision of the business administration and methods of the University will hold a final meeting in Ithaca on Monday, May 25, to draft a report for presentation to the Trustees at the June meeting of the board. At the meeting in New York on April 18 a scheme of administration was outlined. The outline seemed to meet with general approval from all members of the committee. In a good many cases a desire was expressed for time to look into the advisability of changes recommended and the details of operations proposed. That made another meeting necessary. Those who were present at the New York meeting were the members of the committee, James H. Edwards, Frank H. Hiscock, John H. Barr, George C. Boldt, H. H.

The Auditorium Organ

A Description of the Instrument Which Is Now About Completed The great organ in the new auditorium of the College of Agriculture is practically completed. It will not, however, be ready for use at the Music Festival this week. Other arrangements will be made for the "Faust" concert on Saturday evening, when it was planned to use the new organ. A booklet entitled "Story of Cornell University Organ Contract" has been published by J. W. Steere & Son, of Springfield, Mass., the builders of the organ. It tells of the thorough investigation that was made by Andrew D. White before the contract was given, and describes the organ, which will, it says, rival in its completeness the best instrument on either side of the Atlantic. The organ is described as follows: "It will have six distinct departments, as follows : The great, solo and pedal organs, which will be located on the stage of the auditorium; the swell organ, located in a room on the second or gallery floor, opening out through a thick wall at the east end of the stage; the choir organ, located in a room on the second or gallery floor, opening out through a thick wall at the west end of the stage, and an echo organ, which will be situated * * * in the dome of the roof. * * * A movable console will be attached by means of an electric cable, which makes it possible to play the organ from any part of the auditorium. "Among the numerous attachments will be the celesta stop giving the tones of an Italian harp; a special orchestra oboe, a clarinet of unusually fine quality, a vox humana, and a full set of cathedral chimes. The wind supply will be furnished by a 25-horse-power electric

Would Change Phi Beta Kappa

Professor Comfort Advocates a Radically New Method of Election Professor W. W. Comfort, head of the department of Romance languages, proposed a radical change in the method of election to Phi Beta Kappa, in his speech as retiring president of the Cornell chapter at the annual initiation banquet Friday night. He suggested that instead of confining the membership of the society to the forty-odd students who receive the highest marks as at present, half of the quota from each class be taken in the junior year solely on the basis of standings, these students to choose an equal number not entirely on this basis, in the senior year. "I should let the undergraduate members at the middle of the senior year double their number," said Professor Comfort, "thus bringing their total up to the full quota, merely stipulating that they elect only students whose average is above 75 or 80, as may be determined. The latter part of the plan would insure a feature which is now lacking, namely, some participation of the undergraduates in the elections of their classmates. It is probable that they know their contemporaries better than the Faculty knows them, and that their pride in a society to which they have already belonged for a year would guarantee a choice which would be fairly consistent with the judgment of the Faculty electors. By this method, too, the responsibility would be fairly fixed. The Faculty has the right to decide through its ranking system who are the highest

The organ will be the property of Cornell University, and the State of New York loans the auditorium for the purpose of housing the organ."

BOOK AND BOWL

Association Football.Yale defeated Cornell in the last soccer game of the season on Alumni Field Saturday by a score of 3 to 1. This defeat places Cornell in last place in the league standings, with a record of five games lost and one tied. Harvard, Pennsylvania, and Yale are tied for first place, the first two teams last having one more game to play. Lacrosse.The first home contest as well as the first league game resulted in a victory for Cornell over Stevens by a score of 9 to 0 at Percy Field Saturday. The varsity twelve played together well and displayed good form considering the muddy condition of the field. Stevens, however, was not a strong opponent, having just been defeated by Hobart, a team which Cornell has already beaten in a practice game. Cornell's goals were scored by Randolph, Danforth, and Lawles. Randolph, with a total of four goals scored, was the star of the attack, while Collins and Grimes played well on the defense. Tennis.The tennis squad, which was called out last week, has been cut down to twelve men, and is now practicing regularly. Only two of last year's successful team are now available, Captain C. CX Benton '15, and W. J. Bowers '15. H. W. Peters '14, a member of the team last year, will not be able to play on account of other duties. The schedule includes the following games : May 9, Pennsylvania at Ithaca May 14, Harvard at Cambridge; May 15, Yale at New Haven; May 16, Columbia at New York; May 23, Princeton at Ithaca; May 30, Stanford at Ithaca. Wrestling.E. J. Gallogly '15, of Albany, has been elected captain of the wrestling team for 1914-15. He is the holder of the intercollegiate championship in the 158 pound class. During the season just completed Gallogly took part in all the meets, losing only one bout, and winning eight. A MEETING was held by the Sibley Association one night last week for the purpose of conferring "shingles" on the men who represented Sibley College in the collegiate sports during the year. Addresses were made by Dean Smith and by Dr. Sharpe, both of whom expressed warm commendation of the system of intercollege athletics.

He began his talk with a reference to the crisis in Mexico, saying that if this country were drawn into war with Mexico only one thing could be predicted with certainty, and that was that the war would be full of surprises. He went on to review the two Balkan wars and to show how events there had shaped themselves in totally unexpected ways. Among these surprises were the overwhelming defeat of the Turks, the strength revealed by Greece and by the Balkan States generally, the successful financing of ,the wars by the Balkan States, the defeat of Bulgaria in the second war, the failure of Russia to become the diplomatic victor, and the large gains in territory made by Greece and Servia.

versity community. They told what the association had accomplished, what the larger field was which it hoped to fill, and just what the increased expense would be. The response left no doubt that the community was ready to support the association in carrying out its plans. Since then the results of the canvass of Faculty and undergraduates have shown a similar sentiment. Two thousand dollars is a generous sum for the Faculty to give. The doubling of undergraduate contributions to the association in two years shows that students are standing behind the work at Barnes Hall.

ITHACA, NEW YORK, APRIL 30, 1914 THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION seems to be entering upon a period of greatly increased usefulness to the University. Within the last two or three years the proportion of undergraduates interested in the association's work has become much larger, probably because the scope of the work has been extended. Barnes Hall has become much more than a mere center for Bible study. The various kinds of activity which now have their center there appeal to a variety of men.

The annual banquet of the association was held on the same night, with about forty Indiana alumni present. Professor H. A. Sill was the guest of honor. He gave an address on University affairs which delighted those who heard it. It was printed in the NEWS of April 9. The banquet was the most enthusiastic and interesting the Indiana alumni have ever held. After the dinner the entertainment committee, consisting principally of Owen Mothershead O, sprung three or four cabaret features, quite to the surprise of the diners. The Cornell University Association of Indiana will at all times be very glad to hear from other alumni associations upon matters interesting to Cornell men, and will be glad also to furnish other alumni associations with any information obtainable. Address the secretary, N. H. Noyes, care Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis.

Seventy-five Cornell alumni attended the annual banquet of the Cornell Club of Oswego County, held at the Hotel Pontiac in Oswego last Saturday night. Among those present were President Schurman; C. Sidney Shepherd, of New Haven, N. Y., a member of the University Board of Trustees, and Professor Eugene P. Andrews '95. The principal address was delivered by Dr. Schurman.

Supreme Court Justice Irving G. Hubbs '91, of Pulaski, was toastmaster. Responses were made by Supreme Court Justice Leonard C. Crouch '89, of Syracuse, and P. W. Cullinan '73, of Oswego, former state excise commissioner. Several guests were present from Syracuse, Camden, Rome, and Utica. President Schurman told of the work being carried on at the University, of new buildings that have been added, and of the financial condition of the institution. He referred to the situation in Mexico as deplorable and commended the stand taken by President Wilson. EIGHTY-FOUR'S INVITATION To All Members of the Classes of '82, '83, '85, and '86: You are probably aware of the fact that at the resent midwinter meeting of the Association of Class Secretaries a plan was suggested for adding materially to the interest of Alumni Days in June by inviting all classes in groups of five to assemble at a common center for Alumni festivities. Each reunion class according to this plan would be the main show, as it properly should be, but in the same big tent it can very properly invite any members of the two adjacent classes on either side who may by chance be present in Ithaca to join in the reunion festivities. This briefly outlines the plan, and the Class of '84, through its Secretary, desires to invite most cordially any members of the Classes of '82, '83, '85, and '86 who may be present in Ithaca on Alumni Days to join with us in any class festivities which may be organized and to be present at our Thirty-Year Reunion Dinner which will be held in the Ithaca Hotel on the evening of Saturday, June 12, 1914. This group of classes were all together in the University at one time or another and I feel sure that such an arrangement would add much to the pleasure of all of us. May I express the hope on behalf of my own classmates that this invitation will meet with your approval and that we may have the pleasure of seeing a goodly number of our almost classmates present at our Reunion Dinner. Cordially yours, HENRY P. DE FOREST. New York, April 25, 1914.

fifteenth inning, described above, Cornell men reached second on only two occasions, both times on sacrifice hits. One Lafayette man got to second and one to third. Bills made a good play in the sixteenth when he stopped a fast grounder beyond second base and threw to first ahead of the runner. In the first inning Helfrich made a difficult catch of a foul fly, running into the Cornell players' bench to get the ball. Both pitchers weakened a little toward the end of the long game, but neither team showed any sign of "breaking." The score : CORNELL AB R H po A E

At the Penn Relay Games

Cornell Did Fairly Well in the Field Events But Not on tKe Track Cornell's one and four mile relay teams finished third in the two important races at the Pennsylvania Relays Saturday. The four mile race was a remarkable struggle between Oxford and Pennsylvania, Cornell and Pennsylvania State being outclassed. C. F. Souder '16 started for Cornell and touched D. F. Potter '16 a few yards behind the Oxford and Pennsylvania runners. Potter and H. E. Irish '16, who ran third, both lost much ground. C. L. Speiden '15 ran the last mile for Cornell. He had to fight his way through the crowd to finish when the stands emptied out on the strack behind Jackson of Oxford and McCurdy of Pennsylvania. Jackson, the Olympic 1500 meter champion, won by a scant oot amid great excitement. Cornell looked good in the mile relay until the third quarter, when A. B. Mehaffey '15 did not come up to the form expected of him. Van Winkle and Lewis, the two sophomores, ran fast quarters, the latter tying Rock of Harvard in 502-5 seconds. D. S. Caldwell '14 started the last quarter so far behind the Harvard and Pennsylvania runners that he was unable to make up anything. Barron of Harvard finished ahead of Lippincott of Pennsylvania. In the field events Cornell was fairly well represented. H. W. Morrison '15, a new man on the squad this year, won the high jump at 5 feet 9 inches, beating out Douglass of Yale, Camp and Johnstone of Harvard, Ward of Southern California, Pawlson of Lafayette, and Hallett of Haverford, all of whom tied for second at 5 feet 7 inches. Morrison also finished third in the broad jump with a mark of 20 feet 11 1-4 inches. Drew of Southern California won this event at 22 feet, Gooch of Virginia finishing second with a jump of 21 feet 6 inches. A. L. Milton '15 tied for second place in the pole vault with Buck of Dartmouth, Carter of Yale, and McMaster of Pittsburgh, at 11 feet 6 inches. This event was won by Borgstrom of South-

.-.

Seventeen Innings and Not a Run Lafayette and Cornell played a remarkable game at Percy Field on Wednesday afternoon of last week. The game lasted for seventeen innings without either side getting a run. It was called about 6 o'clock because the Lafayette team had to catch a train for Syracuse. "Steve" Regan pitched for Cornell. He struck out no less than twenty-one men. He had thirteen strike-outs in the first nine innings, not quite equal to the record of fourteen made by Cornell's sophomore pitcher, Russell, in the Niagara game. Besides that, Regan made eight assists. Although Girard, the Lafayette pitcher, struck out only five men, the Cornell batters were unable to hit safely to any great extent. The nearest the home team came to getting a run was in the fifteenth inning. Donovan and Bills both singled, and although Grossman struck out, Baugher drew a pass which filled the bases with only one out. But Taber went out on a foul fly and Ludwig sent an easy fly to right field. The batting of the Cornell team as a whole was disappointing, although the fielding of the Lafayette players was high class. The Cornell men as a rule batted into the air, as the number of put-outs by the Lafayette outfielders shows. Besides the

Rowing
A succession of substitutions and shifts has characterized the rowing of the past two weeks. Thus far none of the numerous combinations tried out has seemed to satisfy Mr. Courtney. Impromptu races have resulted in very close finishes in which the varsity boat has usually succeeded in nosing out the junior varsity crews and the freshmen. A climax in the list of mediocre performances was reached Monday when the first crew, without the services of its regular coxswain and with Allen rowing for the first time in ten days, lost by a length to the freshmen in a two mile race on the lake. The two junior varsity crews came in almost together about half a length behind the varsity. With about three weeks left to prepare for the Navy Day regatta with Yale and Princeton, further shifts are probable in case the varsity does not show improvement. The present combination bears but slight resemblance to that of the first water practice, although it is composed of nearly all the same men. On Monday the men rowed as follows : Bow, Eddy; 2, Butts; 3, Allen; 4, Oilman; 5, Welles; 6, Bird; 7, O'Brien; stroke, Spransy. An interesting struggle is going on between the other two varsity crews rowing at the boathouse, only one of which is eating at the training table. They finished only a fifth of a second apart in the race Monday. It has not yet been decided whether a third crew will be taken on the training table in addition to the first two or whether a race will be held between the two junior varsity crews to determine superiority and the right to the table. Word has been received from the Princeton and Yale managements as to their arrival in Ithaca. Princeton will arrive on the Thursday before Navy Day and Yale on Friday. The Princeton men will stay at the Delta Kappa Epsilon house and the Yale men at the Phi Delta Theta house.

The Average Buyer Buys the Remington

F he buys on reputation, he buys the Remington. If he buys on side-by-side comparison, he buys the Remington. If he buys on nothing short of actual test, he buys the Remington. In any case and under any conditions, the Remington is his natural choice.

The actual test is the most decisive of all. If you do not know by actual test the time saving merits of the Column Selector of the Model 10 Remington, then you dp not know the Remington Typewriter of today. And the Column Selector is only one example. There are many new improvements on the present day Reming-

ton models; improvements which are the very latest contributions to typewriter progress. The side-byside comparison or the actual test will convince you that these improvements are a necessityto you and to every typewriter user.
