The Childs Cup race for college crews probably will be held on Carnegie Lake at Princeton early in the spring. It is expected that, every college in the East that has entered crews in the Childs Cup race in previous years will send boats for the annual water classic. Princeton is also expected to start a crew.

Pennsylvania's old rival in all sports, Cornell, has started indoor crew practice and will send two boats on for the Childs Cup race, according to those in charge of rowing at the University of Pennsylvania. It is hoped that Yale and the University will send informal boats to the regatta. Columbia also is booked to compete.

Rowing at Pennsylvania will not be affected by the war. The Red and Blue oarsmen will race the midshipmen of Annapolis on the Seven River this spring and Yale has written to the Penn athletic council asking for an informal race between the two collegiate crews. That offer will be accepted.

Tech. Aero. Engineering Course.

Contrary to the many rumors that have been circulated regarding the United States Schools of Military Aeronautics established at Technology, the school has not been taken away, even though the men who were in training at the Institute up to Monday of last week have been ordered elsewhere.

The school as it now exists at Tech. is substantially the same as it has been, although the instruction is now given only to officers of the non-flying branches of the Signal Corps. Instead of the ground school course that has been given heretofore, these men will receive instruction in aeronautical engineering. At the present time there are only a few men in attendance at the school, but a large number is expected soon.

Wesleyan Deficit $30,000.

Secretary Warren F. Sheldon of the alumni council of Wesleyan University, estimates that the college deficit this year, due to war conditions, will be from $30,000 to $35,000, in a total annual budget of about $200,000. A large freshman class has kept the deficit from being considerably larger than it otherwise would have been. The college finances have, however, decreased about 40 percent in the three upper classes. Some of the surplus funds accumulated in recent years will be used this year to make up the deficit, and Secretary Sheldon anticipates that the rest will be received in gifts from alumni and friends of the University.
