THE FRESHMAN RELAY RACE.

There is scheduled for tonight a second race between the Harvard and Yale Freshman relay teams. This contest is the result of the refusal on the part of the Yale team to accept the prize to which it was entitled, owing to disqualification of the Harvard team.

This action is certainly worthy of commendation. Too often intense rivalry and a keen desire to win combine to deprive contests of all sportsmanship. Such a condition cannot fall to be detrimental to the best interests of sport and is apt to prove fatal to the fundamental purpose of athletic rivalry--the encouragement and furtherance of pleasant personal relations between different colleges.
