Yale has definitely decided to award "Y"s in the three major sports, baseball, crew and track, this spring, according to an announcement made by the faculty of that institution yesterday.

Davis at bow, and J. N. Borland, 2d, stroke, all held places in the first Freshman boat during the fall rowing, and rowed regularly on the Boston Latin, Milton Academy, Pomfret and Groton crews, respectively. The remaining oarsmen, though they did not participate in the fall training all held places on their school crews...
