There is another important consideration. The prospect of representing Harvard in a race with Yale would undoubtedly bring out many new riders to train on the track for the spring games. This would greatly increase Harvard's chance of winning the twomile race at Mott Haven. On the whole the idea is a good one, and we hope Yale will accept the challenge.
