To the Editors of the Crimson:

Although much has been said about the newly recovered Royal Phelps Carroll cup there seems to be no prospect of its being offered for competition this year. This seems a great pity because many men are rowing in singles at present who would be glad to enter such a race. In view of the fact that many of the men referred to have come out this year for the first time it might be well to establish handicaps in order to give the beginners a chance with the more experienced oarsmen and so render the competition closer and more interesting. Laying aside the stimulus that the race would give to single scull rowing in general--a result much to be desired--ought not the cup to be offered anyway seeing that the conditions on which it was originally given were that "it shall be a perpetual challenge cup to be held one year, and open to all members of the University."
