YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
A PITTSBURG DINNER.
The Seventh Annual Reunion—Prof.
Beers Represents Yale.
The seventh annual banquet of the
Yale Alumni Association of Pittsburg
was held Tuesday, March 30, at the
University Club of Pittsburg. Mr. Al-
bert H. Childs, ’61, President of the As-
sociation, acted as toastmaster, and
made a very entertaining address,
which closed with an introduction of
Professor Henry A. Beers, of Yale Col-
lege, who responded to the toast, “The
Faculty.”” Professor Beers made a very
interesting address on matters pertain-
ing to Yale, interspersed with many
touches of that dry humor perculiarly
his own, that has become so well known
through his ‘‘Ways of Yale.” The full
toast list follows:

Harvard's ** Possible Rival.”
(Professor Hart of Harvard at Harvard Dinner.)
“We all know that Harvard has the
primacy of all other institutions. We
all know it is better than any other
college.”’
Going on, however, he admitted a
possible rivalry for Harvard in the
future.
“The chief rivals of Harvard College
are Yale and Princeton; but the su-
premacy of our college is well estab-
lished. Of Harvard University, how-
ever, the chief rival will be Columbia.
When I observe that institution’s plans
and principles of expansion I foresee
that in the future there will be a di-
vision of university primacy between
Harvard and Columbia. We shall have
the prestige of age, however. A man
who once woke up in my class room
asked: ‘Why are the old walls of the
world the best?’ and when nobody ans-
wered he said: ‘If they weren’t the best
they wouldn’t have lasted to be old.’
I will leave that thought with you for
consideration.”’

THE ATHLETIC WEEK.
Wisconsin Invited to New Haven—
Baseball Season Opens.
About one week ago the University
. Crew management sent an invitation to
the University of Wisconsin to enter
a race against the University and
Freshmen crews in the Spring Regat-
ta which will take place in New Ha-
ven, either at the harbor or on Lake
Saltonstall, May 29. As yet no answer
has been received, but there is every
reason to suppose that the Western
crew will accept the invitation. Every
effort is being made by the crew au-
thorities this year to have an unusual-
ly attractive regatta and establish it
hereafter as a more prominent feature
of the Spring term. The training of the
Same crews has been progressing
steadily on the harbor and it is hoped
to have six of these entered in the re-
gatta. It is probable that the greater
part of a day will be occupied in run-
ning off these events which are sure
to make an interesting program.
For the past week the University
crew have been rowing in the shell in
their usual order, They have not, how-
ever, been able to cover any very long
stretches or go over the course on time,
owing to the heavy winds and rough
water. Since the change to the shell
the form of the crew has fallen off
considerably, but this is only to be ex-
pected at this season.
YALE, 27 ; JOHNS HOPKINS, 0.
Yale opened her base-ball season.
Saturday at the Field with an easy
victory from Johns Hopkins, in eight
innings. The visiting team, was crip-
pled by the loss of their catcher, which
necessitated several changes in their
make-up. The work of the home team
Was very creditable indeed. Play in
the infield was sharp and clean, and
team work was particularly noticeable.
The throwing was accurate, batting
good and no bad errors were made.
A. beautiful catch by Keator of Hal-
lenbeck’s fly to centerfield and Green-
way’s home run were the features of
the game.
The Yale team batted as follows:
Keator and Bartlett, c.f.; Ham n, 2b.;
Greenway and Chauncey, lLf.; Letton,
1b.; Fincke, 3b.; Wear and Atkins, r.f.;
Reed, s. s.; DeForest and G. Hecker,
c.; EF. Hecker and Wallace, p.
PRINCETON DEFEATED IN RELAY RACE,
The Yale Relay team defeated the
Princeton team in a race held at the
games of the Seventh Regiment in New
York city, Saturday, April 3° The. dis-
tance was one mile, and each team was
composed of five men. Capt. Gerard
fell in his lap, but immediately re-
gained his feet with very little loss of
distance. The Yale team was composed
of the following: W. S. Johnson, ’99;
D..C. Byers; 983... -P.-Garvan, °915-8: As.
Gerard, ’97, and T. Fisher, ’988.
The track team candidates have been
working at the Field for about two
weeks. The first trials’ for the  re-
duction of candidates will be held
Monday, April 26. From present in-
dications Yale will be very weak in the
You found about what you
wanted with us while you were

as good things and better now.
And you can get them, wherever
you are, A great many of your
classmates do, We might men-

know who our customers were.
Well, if you want a string tie
or a wedding outfit, a collar but-
ton, a dressing sack, a blanket
wrap or a dress suit case, drop
us a line. We have, by the
way, something mighty pretty

broad jump and sprints, and unless
great improvement is made by the
men now training for the former it will
go to Harvard, in the dual games, by
default. In the middle distances the
team is showing up quite well. As for
the bicycle team, very little can be
said definitely. The squad which con-
sists of some 30 members, is work-
ing constantly under Capt. “Hill who
is preparing to take some 16 men down
to compete’ in the _ inter-collegiate
games. This is a very important event
this year as it counts five points and
may decide the result of the _ entire
meet.
The next athletic meet in which Yale
is entered is in the relay race with
Pennsylvania which is to be held at.
