Outing for March.

The March Outing contains three articles that will be of great interest to Harvard men. "Photography and Athletics," by W. I. L. Adams is concluded, with suggestions for the developing of instantaneous plates, and some observations on the importance of photography in connection with athletics. Mr. Adams maintains that the time will come when every prominent athletic organization will have an official photographer, so that all disputes as to the winner in any event can be settled beyond a doubt. To all who are familiar with the dispute as to Downs' quarter-mile run at Beacon Park, and know how entirely all doubts might have been avoided if there had been photographs of the start and finish, these suggestions must be most interesting. The mistake about "Cartwright of Harvard's" pole vaulting is an amusing one. In the photograph given, the man vaulting is not Wheelwright, at all, but Sherwin. To be sure the photograph contains an excellent likeness of Wheelwright (whose name some how got twisted to Cartwright), who is not vaulting, but standing by, watching Sherwin, whose pole he is just ready to catch.

All men who are training for any of the jumps will find Malcolm W. Ford's article on 'Standing Jumping" very helpful. It is remarkably clear, and the suggestions it contains, coming as they do from a man whose reputation as an athlete, and especially as a standing broad jumper, is world-wide, must be of the greatest value. The illustrations are taken at just the most instructive moments of the jumps.

Chase Mellen's suggestions of methods for arousing interest in rowing at Harvard and Yale must have a peculiar significance for us in the light of our experiments at the Weld Boat House. Why, he asks, do not Harvard and Yale have more races for the sake of developing material. At Oxford, there are a great many races, which afford an opportunity for men to row who are not good enough for varsity eights, but who may develope into good men. Why not, he says, have more races similar to our present "Class Races."
