YALE ALUMNI wHEHEKLY CORNELL CREW WORK, Many Crews on the Water—Outlook ef the University Eight. ——— Ithaca, April 24.—Candidates for the Cornell crews began work on the row- ing-machines in the Gymnasium on January 19, but it was not until March ® that they were able to take to the boats. Until April 12 they paddled on the creek on which the boathouse is situated and then, to everyone’s relief, two crews of the more experienced men were allowed to venture out on Cayuga Lake and the work began in earnest. Cayuga is not quiet enough, every day, however, for shells to navi- gate and since that time the boats have gone outside the piers only five times. Everything is going well, however, and there seems reason to expect that Cornell will make a creditable showing in the races with Harvard and Yale, Columbia and Pennsylvania. The Freshmen have not become ac- eustomed to sitting in a boat, and are still experimenting with the oars, which many of them have cause to fear. They are a sturdy lot, however, and promise to develop into a strong erew. They will not be allowed on the Lake for sometime and will confine their interesting experiments to the quiet and shallow waters of the creek. They have, for company a crew cox- swained by Pate and manner as fol- lows: Bentley, stroke; 7, Raymond or Crum; 6, Fuller; 5, Sweetland; 4, Roe; 8, Newell; 2, Nichols or Briggs; bow, Savage or Raymond. Sweetland and Newell are experiments. Neither is an experienced oarsman, but each is heavy and strong and may develop into a good man to put in the waist of the boat. Another experiment is the so-called “Annapolis Crew,” with Carter at stroke, Dalzell at 7, Oddie at 6, Odell at 5, King at 4, Wakeman at 3, Bailey at 2, Stamford, bow. Fisher coxswain. This is last year’s Freshman crew, ex- cept that Odell at 5 replaces Russell, who is no longer in the University. It has always been considered unfortu- nate that a crew could not be held to- gether for more than one year, and tha reenlt of the experiment this year will be watched with interest by every Cornell man who has the success of the crews at heart. In all probability this will be the crew to row the Naval Cadets on May 15 at Annapolis. The third University boat is cox- swained by Colson of last year’s Poughkeepsie crew, and the following men sit before him in the order named: Jeffers (stroke), Tatum, Spillman, John- sity Crawford, Moore, Chriswell, Lud- am. Afternoon work prevents the men from getting to the boathouse before half-past five. At about six o’clock if the weather will permit, Colson’s boat and Fisher’s boat start for the Lake accompanied by the launch. They go down the Lake four miles, to Glenwood, paddling slowly and paying especial at- tention to form, but the return is us- ually at racing speed, each crew en- deavoring to reach the light-house first. These daily races are sharply contested and are sure to betray any weakness in either crew. As soon as the other University crew and the Freshmen can come out, the four crews will be sent against each other almost every day with handicaps arranged to give the weaker crews encouragement. Freshman Athletie Work. Twelve men from the Freshman Crew Squad were kept in New Haven during the Spring vacation, and the same men are now at the training ta- ble. They are: W. B. Williams, 8; J. C. Greenleaf, 7; R. A. McGee, 6; J. W. Cross, 5; J. H. Niedecken, 4; J. P. Brock (Captain), 3; KR. P: Fimt, 2, and fT. Si- mons, bow; and in addition, R. M. Pat- terson, R. J. Schweppe, A. M. Bell and H. P. Wickes. J. C. Greenway and F. W. Allen have been taken on the Uni- © versity crew squad, and are now run- ning 4 and 6, respectively, on the Uni- versity crew. : R. J. Cook, ’76, coached the Freshmen somewhat during the vacation. The crew rowed in the shell every morning and afternoon, and in the afternoons pair-oar work was also done. The work thus far has been of unusual excellence. The University and.Freshman crews have raced a number of times over the mile course, and the Freshmen have almost always been victorious in these short-distance contests. The Freshman base ball squad prac- ticed three hours a day during the Easter vacation and as a result their work has improved greatly, especially in batting. The two games scheduled during vacation were cancelled, the one with St. Paul’s School on account of rain, and the other because the Am- herst Freshman team disbanded. How- ever a game was secured with the Bulkeley School of New London, which resulted in a victory for the Yale team by a score of 16 to 18 and the Hillhouse High School were also de- feated by a score of 21 to 4.The train- ing table has been changed from the Cafe Francais to 136 College Street. The squad consists of sixteen men thirteen of whom are at the training table. H. Clarkson, 1900, T. B. Clarke 1900, and E. M. Eddy, ’99S., have join- ed the squad. The team has general- ly been made up as follows: Newcombe and Sullivan, catchers: Dunn, Dunleary and Whittlesey pitchers; Bronson and Seeley, short- stops; H. Ferguson, right field; Craw. ford, third base; Eddy and Phillips, left field; Russell, first base: Norton, second base; Lyon, center field. Clark- son, who was Harvard’s right field last year, may pitch. In that case Dunn will be a candidate for first. R. D. Carey has been appointed scorer. on ae While one of the crews recently or- © ganized in the Sophomore Class, was practicing on Lake Whitney, Monday, April 19, a thief entered the boat house anil stole money out of the pockets of BE. T. Noble, the Captain, and J. H. Kitchen. A gold watch belonging to ae L. Gilson was also taken.
