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.

Dartmouth, 4; Harvard, 3.
Harvard was defeated by Dartmouth
at Hanover, Saturday, April 24, by the
score of 4 to 3. The fielding was very
clean, only four errors being’ made, all
by Harvard. Dartmouth hit Paine,
Harvard’s pitcher, at critical points,
making seven hits with a total of
eight. Harvard scored three sifgles,
and had three base hits. Tiaylor’s pitch-
ing for Dartmouth was phenomenal.

Pennsylvania Relay Races.
Yale entered relay teams in both the
one-mile and four-mile races in the
Intercollegiate and Interscholastic re-
lay Carnival of the University of Penn-
Sylvania, held Saturday, April 24, at
Philadelphia. The Yale team in the
one-mile race was composed of W. J.
Johnson, 99; S. K. Gerard, 97; F. P.
Garvan, ’97, and T. Fisher, ’98S., and
finished second, being beaten by Har-
vard. Yale was seven yards in the
lead at the end of the third quarter, her
distance being gained chiefly by a fine
race of Garvan. In the full lap Hollis-
ter of Harvard made a tremendous
spurt, and gained seven yards over
Fisher.
The four-mile race was run by Yale
and Pennsylvania alone, and was won
by the latter. The Yale team was com-
posed of H. M. Pointer, 1900; E. H.
Lewis, °99; B. B. Hinckley, °97, and
FD. Buckingham, ’98S. The first
three miles were very closely contested.
Yale had the lead most of the time, but
when Buckingham and Orton com-
menced the last relay the latter had a
slight lead. The Yale man spurted,
and kept ahead until within 100 yards
of the finish, when Orton easily ran
ahead and won. The Yale runners did
much better work in this race than had
been expected, and all of them made
good records. :
