Second Crew Wins.
Changes
[Correspondence of Yule Weekly.)
Ithaca, May 8.—Experiments with the
first University crew are still in order.
This week radical changes have been
made and those who have the instinct
of prophecy find it harder than ever
to satisfy even themselves with the re-
sults of their calculations. It has been
apparent to everyone that something
was wrong in the make-up of the first
University crew and that some of the
men must be shifted soon. On Monday
F. W. Freeborn, captain of last years’
University, appeared at the boathouse —
for the first time this season. He was
immediately put in at No. 6, Captain
Spillman going to starboard. On Tues-
day evening Spillman went into the
launch and the crew was made up as
follows: stroke, Bentley; 7, Tatum; 6,
Freeborn; 5, Savage; 4, Crawford; 3,
Moore; 2, Chriswell; bow Ludlam. The
second crew rowed as' usual. These
two crews raced over a_ three-mile
course. The University caught the
water first and were a quarter of a
length ahead for a mile. Then the sec-
ond crew began to pull away with
every stroke and at the three-mile point
were almost five lengths ahead.
Further changes in the University
boat followed as a result of this defeat.
On Wednesday Briggs was put in at
stroke, Spillman took his old place at
6, Freeborn displaced Crawford, and
the transformation was complete. It
was the same crew that rowed at
Poughkeepsie last year, each one in his
old position. They were given Thurs-
day and Friday to get accustomed to
row together again and on Saturday
evening they were given a chance to
make good the defeats of the Universi-
ty boat. The boats were sent over the
measured Henley course, a mile and
five-eights. Each crew rowed in good
form, but the result was never in doubt.
The seccnd crew was a length ahead at
the mile and had increased the lead
to a length and a half at the finish. -
The second crew will leave for Anna-~
polis on Wednesday evening. Eleven
‘men will be taken: C. M. Oddie, E. B.
Carter, W..C. Dalzell, M. M. Odell, A.
—, ising, S. W. Wakeman, T. L. Bail-
ey, W. B. Stamford, W. Bentley, A. B.
Raymond, and §S. l. Fisher, coxswain.
On Monday afternoon Oddie was elect-
ed captain of this Annapolis crew. Un-
less the University crew makes marked
improvement while they are gone, some
of these men will undoubtedly be put in
the University boat on their return.
The Freshmen are still far below the
standard. This evening, after the race
between the two University crews, the
1900 crew was sent after the eight from
Cascadilla Preparatory School. They
failed to overcome the handicap which
the Cascadilla boys had received. On
Monday, Marx, Windsor, Smallwood,
Coit, Hanmer, Dorn, Holloway, Thider,
and Beardslee, of the Freshmen squad
were taken to the training table. There
are now twenty-six of the University
men at the table, includin Savage.
Briggs and Freeborn, recent additions
to the list.
The new cedar boat is under way at
the boathouse and the new framing
for the aluminum boat is almost finish-
ed.

Track Team Improves.
The past week has been a very .€n-
couraging one for the Track Team,
and Yale’s outlook for the dual games
on Saturday is much brighter than a
week ago. Chadwick, ’97, and Beck,
99, have been allowed to join the team
again, and have for the past week
been working hard in the hammer and
shot events respectively. R. Sheldon,
98 S., however, will not be allowed to
compete. His loss will be felt and
there is still some hope that he may
be ready for the Intercollegiate Games,
May 29.
On Tuesday, May 4, HE. Hill, jr.,
’97, lowered the two mile bicycle record,
held by himself, from-5 min. 12 sec., to
5 min. 1 sec. He was paced by two
tandems and followed by most of the
Squad. On Wednesday, May 5, B. B.
Hinkley, ’97, tied the Yale record of
1:591-5 for a half-mile, which was
held by W. B. Wright, ’92.
The Athletic Team management ex-
‘pects fully 2,000 spectators at the field on
May 15, and have accordingly moved
over the stand from the foot ball field,
which, together with the one already
at the track and a new one that is
to be built, are calculated to be ample
accommodations. The track, which is
now in rather poor condition, is receiv-
ing attention continually, and by the
date of the games should be suitable
for fast and sure racing.

Most of the Students of Yale
are preparing to earn their own livelihood—some in professions—
others in the
BUSINESS WORLD.
Many of these on leaving the University will want to know what
will best promote their prospects in a business way. A young man
receives the best general education at Yale, but even after graduating
he may need to specialize in the vocation he intends to follow. In
preparing for a business career it is of course advantageous for him to
fit himself adequately for his chosen pursuit.
Many College men have found profit in taking one or more of
our special courses.
