...Freshman debate against Yale will be held in Lampson Lyceum, New Haven, tomorrow night. The subject of the debate is: "Resolved, That the United States should adopt a system of ship subsidies, other than our present mail subsidies, for the encouragement of our merchant marine." Yale has chosen to support the affirmative, and Harvard will argue the negative. The Freshman team will debate in the following order in the main speeches: S. M. Seymour, A. A. Berle, Jr., R. B.

Twenty-five teams have entered in the Leiter Cup baseball series. This large number deserves a word of comment, for it shows a lively and increasing interest in intramural sport which does not demand too assiduous attendance. This interest is in striking contrast to the miserable support received by the class crews, which for a couple of weeks after they were called out could scarcely boast eight men apiece.

Interclass sports unquestionably afford as much real fun as any form of athletics in College. The seasons are short, the training light, and the issues of no vast importance, so that they provide an almost ideal opportunity for exercise. For these reasons they should receive enthusiastic support. One of these sports--class rowing--begins today, and as in the past it has suffered materially from the irregularity of its votaries, we wish to bring to their attention the inconvenience which they cause to others. It is altogether natural for candidates who feel that they have no chance of making their...
