At last the origin of the reported desire of the victorious Oxford crew to row the American college champions has been discovered. At the dinner given to the English eight by their college boating authorities, after the recent victory over Cambridge, some one authorized an American sporting writer who was present to arrange a race with the Harvard-Yale winner, provided the American crew would assume the challenge. "Bob" Cook, Yale's sagacious adviser in rowing matters, in commenting on this proposition, says, "This socalled official message from Oxford cannot be taken notice of by Yale until direct word is received from Oxford. This delegation of authority to a third party was made at a banquet in celebration of the Oxford victory. There is an enthusiastic atmosphere enveloping such occasions which is rather unfavorable to official utteranes and I should prefer to see a communication from the Oxford rowing men rather than a delegate clothed with power to run things."
