Cornell will go. in for baseball track and rowing this spring, and schedules for intercollegiate competi- tion in these sports will be a,unuuncedi some time next month. While row- ing plans have not as yet assumed conerete’ 'form, a number of cand:i- dates for. rowing honors have been practicing on the machines, and when the inlet is clear of ice several crews will be boated as usual . It is assumed that no. attempt will cline to.enter even if it were held. An attempt, however, will be mada to secure competitions in dual races, although what’ success will attend such efforts ' may not De said. At least ‘there will be intramural racing always ‘a source of deep interest among Cornell students. There will be intercollegiate baseball gawmes run- ning from'the middle of ‘April until the middle of May, but there will be no southern trip not only because of economic reasons, but because the Easter -recess has been eliminated. There wil'' be no freshman haseball team, the “first’ vear men. under faculty ruling teing obiiged to drill on Saturdays throughout April.
