...made a special order for yesterday. A thorough discussion was had, lasting three hours. Final action was postponed until next week, but the following progress has been made: First, it is practically settled that the resolution forbidding intercollegiate football shall not prevail.

The university crew candidates have not been rowing in the tank in any regular order, but have been changed about frequently so as to give each man a trial for the different positions in the boat. The same thing is true to a certain extent in regard to the freshmen, although of late they have been rowing together in the first boat as follows: Stroke, Tweedy; 7, Brewer; 6, Langford; 5, Ireland; 4, Cadwalader; 3, Monk; 2, Noyes; bow, Gerard...
