LIVELY WORK AT CORNELL.
Many Eights
Practice in Frequent
Races.
[Correspondence of Yale Weekly.]
Ithaca, May 1.—Two weeks from to-
day, on May 15, the second crew will
row the Naval Cadets at Annapolis,
and the work of the past week has
been influenced by the proximity of
this the first of Cornell’s five races, A
number of interesting races between
the 99 crew and the Uni-
versity crew have occurred, and
although they have been fierce-
ly contested no one can say with
which crew the advantage rests. The
truth of the matter seems to be that
the so-called ‘‘Annapolis Crew’ is ex-
ceptionally fast for a light crew, or
that the University is not all that it
should be. On Thursday the Univer-
sity managed to beat the youngsters
one length in a two-mile race. The
latter crew rowed in their regular or-
der, Carter at stroke; 7, Dalzell; 6, Od-
die; 5, Odell; 4, King; 3, Wakeman; 22,
Bailey; bow, Stamford; coxswain,
Fisher. The University was made up
of Bentley, stroke; 7, Savage; 6, Spill-
man; 5, Johnston; 4, Crawford; 8,
Moore; 2, Chriswell; bow, Ludlam;
coxswain, Porter.
The water was rough, even in the lee
of the west shore of the lake, and the
second crew showed some unsteadiness,
which was not overcome until there
was open water between the boats. Af-
ter this the ’99 boat gained steadily,
but was unable to overcome the lead
which the University had secured. The
next evening, Friday, the Lake was as
quiet aS one could wish. The second
crew was the same as on the previous
evening, but in the University boat,
Savage displaced Ludlam at bow,
Tatum rowed at seven, and Colson dis-
placed Porter. Bentley still held Jef-
fers’ place at stroke and the crew was
Supposed to be stronger for the
changes.
SECOND CREW BEATS THE UNIVERSITY.
The third University had come out
on the Lake and accompanied the oth-
ers in the paddle down to Glenwood.
They were not allowed in the race,
however, and were sent on ahead. At
the word the second crew started quick-
Ty and in a short time had a lead of a
deck. The University hung there for
a mile and a half; then the second
crew drew away and at the finish, two
miles and three-quarters from Glen-
wood, they led by three good lengths.
Such things make everyone wonder
what will happen after the Annapolis
race. One thing is certain; no one has
the slightest reason to feel sure that he
will sit in one of the boats at Pough-
keepsie. Fach seat has three men try-
ing for. it and the choice cannot be
made with any probability of accuracy
for a month at least. Sweetland, one
of the new men, is developing rapidly
into an oarsman. He is a strong man
and should make a good fight. for one
of the oars amidships. He has been
taken to training table. Briggs and
Savage of last year’s University have
been on the sick-list part of the sea-
son and have not yet regained form
to such an extent as to be included in
the training-list. Twenty-three men
are now at the training-table: Ludlam,
Chriswell, Moore, Johnston, Spillman,
Tatum, Jeffers, Crawford, Bentley,
Raymond, Crum, Roe, Carter, Dalzeli,
Oddie, Odell, King, Wakeman, Bailey,
Stamford. Sweetland, coxswains Col-
son and Fisher.
THE FRESHMEN CAUSE ANXIETY.
The men are all in good spirits and
little tendency has appeared to over-
train. One frequently hears a man re-
mark that the training is less rigorous
and less irksome than ever before. It is
the Freshmen who are giving anxiety.
At a meeting on the Campus Friday
evening Captain Spillman declared that
they seem to be making no progress
whatever. It seemed quite possible,
he_ said, that another call for
Freshmen candidates might be. neces-
Sary, in the hope that a fresh lot of
men might do better. There are two
Freshmen crews and the effort will be
made to find, by changing the men
around in the boats, an eight that will
be fit to keep. At present there is lit-
tle earnestness and the snap and en-
thusiasm which usually mark the work
of Freshmen candidates is completely
lacking. This afternoon the seriousness
of the situation was manifest when ~
everything else was abandoned and all
attention was centered on the men of
1900. Only the first University went
out, with Bentley at stroke, for slow
work on the inlet. Briggs was put in
to stroke one of the Freshmen boats
and every effort was made to get the
Freshmen out of the unfortunate state
of lethargy into which they have fallen.
' Association, presided.
It will be noticed that Bentley has
crowded Jeffers out of his position as
stroke of the first University. Jeffers
has gone to No. 2 of the third Univer-
sity, but no one can tell how long Bent-
ley will hold the place. Jeffers is a good
man and the change in no way lessens
his chances for the University boat.
The third University is manned as fol-
lows: Briggs, stroke; 7, Crum; 6, Fuller;
5, Sweetland; 4, Roe; 3, Newell; 4, Jef-
fers, bow, Raymond; coxswain, Pate.
There has been no change of stroke.
The second University are rowing it as
they did last June at Poughkeepsie.
There is the same hard catch and clean,
steady pull through to the end, with the
quick thrust of the hands at the feather
and easy slide aft. They are getting
their backs into the work together and
with fine effect. The University is evi-
dently stronger, but the work is ragged
and the power poorly applied.
Two new shells have been ordered,
but neither has appeared as yet. One is
to be a paper boat from Waters of
Troy; the other of cedar, the work of
M. F. Davis of Detroit. Mr. Davis is
here with a number of workmen and
has just finished making over the En-
glish boat which the Henley crew
brought home with them. The boat has
been entirely Americanized in rigging
and bracing and practically furnishes a
third new boat. The same workmen will
in all probability rebuild the aluminum
poat, in which the race with Pennsyl-
yania was won in ’93. If they are suc-
cessful the crew will have still another
fast and serviceable boat.

Oregon Alumni Smoker.
The Yale Alumni Association of Ore-
gon and Southern Washington held its
first social gathering Saturday evening,
April 24, at Baum’s cafe, Portland.
The Association, which is the first east-
ern college alumni association organized
in the State, has already a large and
representative membership. The gath-
ering was very much like the ‘‘ Smok-
ers” frequently held in college, and
with light refreshments, songs and sto-
ries of ‘‘ old college days” the time was
pleasantly spent. The parlors were dec-
orated with Yale flags and college me-
mentos. : :
The Association intends to hold sev-
eral more meetings of the same nature
in the near future. A number of im-
promptu toasts were responded to.

New York Con cert.
The annual New York concert of the
Glee and Banjo Clubs, which was held
at Carnegie Hall, Friday evening, April
30, was not as successful financially
as have been concerts of previous years.
The net proceeds which can be devoted
to crew purposes will be about $800, as
compared with $1,900 of last year, and
$1,800 of the year before. The expenses
have been a little larger this year and
the receipts considerably less. The chief
explanation of this state of affairs is
the generally prevailing condition of
‘feeling poor,’’ as there seem to be no
signs of a decrease in the interest of
the alumni in undergraduate organiza-
tions.
The program of the concert was well
rendered and met with much enthusi-
asm from the audience, which well
filled the main part of the house. The
financial arrangements were conducted
by a committee of graduates this year
entirely, and every effort was made by
them to obtain a successs in every way.

American School at Athens.
That the present war in Greece has
or will have any material effect on the
routine of the American School of Ath-
ens, is disbelieved by the authorities
here. The intense excitement will be
distracting to the students, but from
the situation of the School, outside of
Athens, no violent actions need be
feared. This is evidently the way the
affair stands, as Mr. Richardson, the
Director of the School, and his family
are still living in their home in Athens.
Prof. T. D. Seymour has recently re-
ceived letters from the School which
have given proof of the above state-
ments.
