Remembering last year, when a Yale crew branded as “gutless” by a deposed coach, went out, nearly killed itself in a victory over Har- vard, merely on that quality which its teacher said it lacked, Yale faced a task just as hard with fervent hope. The Yale-Harvard race is always a classic.

The present immigration law permits only ‘3 per cent of the number of foreigners now in the United States to immigrate to this land in any one year. The new alien quota is 367,903, which is some 2,000 greater than last year. The increase, it is explained, is due to adding the foreign born pop- ulation of Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico to the base for calculation and the merging of the Smyrna, Turkish and Armenian territories. Silesia’s quota has been transfer- red to Poland, which reduces the number of possible German immi- grants slightly (from 68,039 to 67,- 607). The number of aliens admissible from the principal countries include: Austria, 17,461; Belgium, 1,663; Czecho-Slovakia, 14,367; Germany, 67,607; Italy, 42,057; Norway, 12,- 202; Poland, 21,076; Roumania, 7, 419; Russia (European and Asiastic), 21,613; Swedan, 20,042; United Kingdom, 77,342; Turkey (European and Asiastic), including Smyrna re- gion and Turkish Armenian region, 2,388; Greece, 3,294; Hungary, 5,- 638; Denmark, 5,619, KREATZ BUILDING NEW SCHOOL HOUSE AT FARRIS Workmen Thursday began the erection of a new $15,000 consoli- dated school atj Farris, George Kreatz, Bemidji contractor, secured’ the contract for the ercction of tie building. are necdless,” said the speaker, “The conditions which preventable.
