...case rests on even firmer ground than this. The Convention made no rule in regard to Freshman crews; so, even on the supposition that Freshman Clubs are subject to University Clubs, they would still be free to act just as they themselves saw fit.

The Amherst crew have been a little sarcastic at the expense of the New Haven oarsmen. They say in a communication: "We have endeavored to look at the matter 'in a reasonable light,' and while we should be extremely sorry to see the Freshman race a failure, as Harvard has a crew chosen in accordance with the rules of the Association, we do not deem the presence of the Yale crew an indispensable necessity to insure...
