pete March 5.

McLean, of '00, and Bach of '01, have
their men working hard and have about

of '00 in track affairs iast year makes
it likely that '01 will be put to it to

pear in the ranks of '00. Hatch is show-
ing up particularly well. Cox, the track
trainer, will make his first appearance,

cials are to be announced later. The

though it was planned to have it ap-
pear. The girls of 00 have a committee
of three to raise funds to procure a.
banner to be given the winning team.
This committee is made up as follows:
Miss Pettee, chairman; Miss Hull and
Miss Spence.

is generally supposed that its title
s indicative of its purpose. And so it
s in a vague way. But it took the
emester banquet held Friday evening
t the Cook house to fully express the
ibjects and purposes of the club. In-
teed even the fondest dreams of its
ounders were then more than realized.
the young lady friends of the club
were the guests of the evening and
their pretty faces and dainty gowns
added much to the charm of the occa-

dent of the club, introduced Mr. O. I.

Oxford's Lame Excuse.
Oxford's declination of the challenge
of the American universities for an in-
ternational contest this summer ap-
pears to be based upon the opinion that
the amateur status of college athletics
upon this side of the water is not be-
yond question. For example, the Lon-
don Times remarks: "After the meet-
ing between the New York Athletic
Club and the London Athletic Club, the
general opinion among university ath-
letes here was that Oxford and Cam-
bridge had better confine their competi-
tions to themselves, until they could
establish beyond a shadow of doubt
that their opponents were both ama-
teurs and students in the full sense of
the words."-Brown Daily Herald.

Philip Sousa was elected an honorary
