Outing for January.

The article of most interest to Harvard men in the January Outing is the second paper on American College Athletics, written by Mr. J. Mott Hallowell, '88. The subject is Athletics at Harvard University. In this paper rowing. foot-ball and lacrosse are described, with an account of their growth and present status. In conclusion a brief account of the faculty regulations and their effect is given. The paper is full of interesting facts and is a very fair and just description of Harvard's present position in athletics. It should be read by all who are interested in our welfare.

The number contains several other very interesting articles on out-door sports, notably the paper on "Fast Ice Yachts; how they are built, rigged and hauled," by C. L. Norton, and "The Lake Champlain Yacht Club," by T. G. Mather. Walter C. Camp of Yale has an article on "Hints to Foot-Ball Captains," which contains some clear and interesting advice from the greatest football authority in the country. The other papers are all very readable, though of less particular interest to college men. The illustrations are good, especially the copies of the photographs of the lacrosse team and shooting club and the crew at work, given in connection with Mr. Hallowell's article.
