HARVARD ATHLETICS. A Busy Week on the Water and the Fields. Cambridge, Mass., May 10.—The an- nual Spring Regatta at Harvard was held during the past week, and ex- tended over three days on account of unfaverable conditions. which necessi- tated postponing some of the _ races. More interest was taken in the Regatta than usual, owing to the fact that the races furnished an excellent index of the results of Mr. Lehmann’s work for the University. On Thursday large crowds thronged the bridges over the Charles, and the road along the bank of the river, to witness the races, but a nasty east wind blew up the course against the tide and made the water very rough in the upper basin, where the first half of the course was laid. In consequence only a barge race between three picked crews over a one-mile course was .owed. In the evening a reception was given to Mr. Lehmann in Memorial Hall , under the direction of the Har- vard Union. Previous to the reception Mr. Lehmann gave an address in San- ders’ Theater on ‘‘Public Speaking in Our Universities.”’ The class race was held on Friday afternoon, although the water was again too rough for fast time. The Sophomore crew, which won the race last Spring, gave an excellent exhibi- tion of oarsmanship, and led for the entire distance. The Juniors, who were favorites before the race, pressed the leaders hard. but never were on even terms with them. The ‘“‘Sophs’’ were exceptionally light, but had the requi- site endurance for a two-mile race and pulled a long, swinging stroke, never varying the time from 34 strokes to the minute. Much credit was due to Boardman at stroke. He was with the University crew until two months ago. The time was 10 minutes, 55 seconds. The Juniors were 2 and a half lengths astern and the Freshmen and Seniors, several lengths further to the rear, finished in the order named. The Freshmen passed the Seniors near. the finish. All the crews except the Seniors rowed a modification of the English stroke. The Seniors had had a profes- sional coach and their defeat was taken to be proof of the superiority of the Enelish style. After the race Mr. Lehmann picked a second crew to train with the Univer- sity, choosing six of the eight from the winning boat. The members of this sec- ond crew are: Boardman, stroke; Mc- Duffie. 7: Beake. 6: Marvin. 5; Donald, 4° Adams. 3: Hollister... 2; Dibbles, bow. The substitutes for the. Univer- sity crew will he chosen from this number. No recent changes have been made in the regular eight. The Weld races were rowed Saturday, and were won by the Junior crew. BALL NINE DISAPPOINTING. The exvected success of Harvard in baseball this year has not been much in evidence thus far, and the students are much disappointed over the show- ing of the team. The game with Brown was marred by numerous errors, al- though they did not affect the score. Paine is the only pitcher who is at all reliable, and, although he is pitching 00d ball, a substitute is needed. The infield is weak at second and third. Chandler has been tried at shortstop, and is proving an excellent player. He covers much territory, handles ground- ers well, and throws accurately to first, although not with enough speed. The outfield is fairly strong, and Scannell is a good backstop, but throws to sec- ond poorly. The team is weak in stick work. and deplorably weak in base running. Scoring chances are sacri- ficed in every game from the latter cause. Tnless the play improves the nine will not get a game from Yale or Princeton. att EXPECT TO WIN SATURDAY. The track athletic team expects to win the dual games with Yale in New Haven next Saturday. Mr. Lathrop was doubtful about the Pennsylvania contest last Saturday, owing to the number of star men on the Quaker team, but he nevertheless looked for Harvard to win by a half dozen points. The closeness of the score was due to Princeton’s unexpected form in the broad jump, where Harvard counted on all the points, and the loss of sec- ond and third places in the low hurdles, which were thought to be safe for the home athletes. | _in these The day was generally favorable for the games and the closeness of the score throughout kept the spectators at a-high pitch. The features of the games were Captain Winsor’s great jump of 6 feet 2 1-2 inches, Reming- ton’s showing in the broad jump, Hoff- man’s performance in the 100-yard dash, running both his heats in 10 sec- onds flat, and Hollister’s double vic- tory in the quarter and half-mile runs. Woodruff was behind his form in the shot put, owing to a lame leg, and this cost Pennsylvania the games. E. H. Clark, of Harvard, surpassed his pre- vious work this year in this event by two feet and saved the day for Har- vard, when the necessary seven points were conceded to Pennsylvania. The decision that Orton fouled Fenno in the half-mile was very questionable. The summary: RESULT OF PENNSYLVANIA GAMES. One-mile bicycle—Won by C. J. Har- beck, Harvard; A. W.

From the showing made by Harvard games she will hardly win against Yale next Saturday. She will be strong in the middle distances and jumps, and may win the pole vault and the sprints, although Roche, her fastest runner at 100 vards, injured his leg in the final heat last Saturday and there is small chance of his running at New Haven. Pennsylvania showed by her work here that she will be a formid- able candidate for first honors at the Intervollegiate games. J. WESTON ALLEN. 0 Harvard, 57; Pennsyl- The Law Journal for May.
