Note and Comment.

The Yale University freshman navy managers are much puzzled because their challenge to the Harvard and Columbia freshman oarsmen has not yet been answered. They firmly believe that they can come in first. Twenty-three men in all are in training for the crew, and Hartridge, the captain, thinks that there is better material in the crew of '90 than has appeared before in many years. Over forty men are now in training for the athletic events. The long distance runners cover several miles a day, and are under the care of Lane, '88, who seizes every available opportunity to exercise them.

The winter games of the Athletic Association will be held the last week in February in the gymnasium. Only two men are in training for the position of University pitcher, and only three men are trying to make themselves eligible for a position behind the bat. Other candidates are expected to present themselves in the near future. - N. Y. Herald.
