YALE ALUMNI WH EKLY THE SPRING REGATTA Scrub Crews a Feature—The Class Races. It was at first the purpose of the University Navy Management to hold the Wisconsin race in conjunction with the annual Spring Regatta, originally set for May 29. The date of the Regatta has since been changed to Saturday, May 22, at Lake Whitney. The contest- ants will include the Ninety-aine. Nine ty-eight and two Freshmen crews. The University eight will in all probability row an exhibition race, The course will be one and a quarter miles in length. An interesting feature of the regatta will be the races between the scrub crews which are six in number,—two each from Ninety-seven, Ninety-eight, and Ninety-nine. Their names, with the men who compose them are as follows: “Vanderbilt Hall Eight,’ ’97. Cap- tain, R. D. Mills; stroke, A. F. Judd; 7, A. R. E. Pinchot; 6, A. C. Sherwood; 5, A. B. Kerr; 4, B. F. C.

Ban- ners will be given to tae winners, and the Cuyler Cup to the victorious class crew. The cup is to become the property of the erew winning it three years, These scrub crews were organized this year to stimulate the interest in rowing, to develop material, and to af- ford a healthful means of exercise to those who desire it. They have been practicing daily for several weeks and a few days ago rowed in shells for the first time. The regatta on this’ account will be much more interesting than those of previous yeas. Owing iw a Jack of boats these crews will row alter- nately in either direction, the starts or finishes being the stake boat point and the point opposite the house site. —_—_——__404@—___—_- The Harlem Regatta, The Harlem regatta, in which the Yale second crew will enter this year, occurs on May 31, and approaches more near the idea of the American Henley than any boating event in this country. Entries have already been_ received from twelve New York rowing clubs, and from about half that number from Philadelphia and Boston. Of the col- leges, Columbia has. entered her Uni- very eight and two crews of Fresh- men, and it is probable that the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, the winner of last year’s regatta,will enter two crews. Yale, as already announced, will enter her second Wniversity eight. The list of events is as follows: Sin- gle and double scull races, both Junior and Senior; Junior four-oared gigs; Senior four-oared shells; Junior and Senior eight-oared shells. No college crew including a man who has rowed on his University eight, will be allowed to enter the Junior events. It has been decided this year to give large silver loving cups to the winning crews, and medals of new design to the men in the boat. The make-up of Yale’s crew-will be: Stroke, Hewitt, ’99; 7, Marsh, ’98; 6, Parkhurst, 938.; 5, Patterson, ’97, cap- tain; 4, Slocovich, ’98S.; 3, Mills, ’97S.; 2,. Hitchcock, ’°98; bow, McLauchlan, ’98; coxswain, T. L. Clarke, ’97. _These men have all rowed on their class crews or on the second University eight, but will enter the regatta simply as a crew University Crew News. The Yale University Crew will go to New London on June 2 to train for tHe coming race with Harvard and Cornell. Their quarters will be at the house of Capt. Christopher Brown, which is {in a convenient location. This will give them experience in regard to the. tide and river current that will be met with at Poughkeepsie, where the race wll be rowed up the river with the tide flowing in. It has not yet been defi- nitely settled, when the men will leave New London for Poughkeepsie. : The University of Wisconsin Crew left on Monday afternoon, May 17, for this city, where they will be given a chance to train for the race with Yale on May 29. Quarters have been se- cured for them in East Haven, and arrangements made for their rowing on Lake Saltonstall. There were thir- teen men that left on the trip—Mana- ger Waite and Coach Adee, with the crew and substitutes, who consist of Alexander, Olson, Chamberlain, Pritz- laff, Sutherland, Lake, Anderson, AUus- tin, Crosby, Seymour and Crandall. Greenway was forced to leave the crew squad for a few days last week, owing to illness. Mills, ’978., took his place at No. 4. Greenway has now Irxe- covered and is doing light work in the Freshman boat. The Navy Management received an invitation from:the “Allgemeiner Atl- ster Club” of Hamburg, Germany, to take part in ‘the International Regatta held in Germany, July 17 and 18. it would be entirely out of the question for the Yale Crew to enter this Regatta this year and the invitation has been declined. —_—__++—____ Hiarvard Rowing News. Mr. Lehmann is now dey»ting all his attention to the University, lege and the Freshmen crews, which, excepting the two Weld crews, are the only ones to be kept in training for the remainder of the season. It is the in- tention to coach the college eight reg- ularly and use it as a pacemaker for the University boat, having it also as a source from which to select the sub- stitutes to be taken to Poughkeepsie. © During the week several changes have: been “made “in “the “University “bout. Beardman was put in at stroke, J, F. Perkins was moved to six, Thompson gcing to two and Bull losing his place. Wrightington replaced Donald at five for a short time, but was eventually returned to the College eight. Marvin was taken from the Sophomore )oat and given a trial at bow. After these changes were made the crew rowed avery even, Snappy stroke, and lifting the boat well along, tut whether any of the changes will be permanent is as yet quite uncer- tain. J. H. Perkins, who has been rowing at five, has a hadly sprained siGe ,so will be unable to row for sev- eral days. This leaves that position also unsettled. Te The new Clasper shell, built for the Hativard eight this year, promises to be very satisfactory. It has been said that she is too light for as heavy a set of men as the University crew but in reality she is scarcely lighter than the Davy shell. The formal opening of the Itdwin ' Gould boathouse at Columbia will oc- cur on Saturday afternoon, May 22, the occasion being the annual spring regatta. The house is said to be the finest in this country. ——__ oe _—_—_ The Race Program. The following important statement in regard to the official program for the Yale-Harvard-Cornell race, is fur- nished by the Yale Management: “The official program for the coming Yale-Harvard-Cornell race is being published this year by Mr. Fred T. Ad- ler of New York. These official pro- grams are a source of a certain amount of revenue to the respective manage- ments and in return for this the pub- lisher naturally expects the patronage of the Universities. It usually happens that other programs are published un- der the title of Souvenir Programs, etc., by men who pay nothing for their priv- ilege. These men always do harm in business circles and tend to injure col- lege advertising, upon which many of the college books and papers depend. It is, therefore, desirable that the Univer- sity men give their support to that publisher, who is backed by the Man- agement, and not to the others.”’ CORNELL'S MANY CREWS. the Col-.

BEWARE OF WORTHLESS IMITATION: - Only Three Places Sure in the Uni- versity Boat— Freshmen Improve. [Correspondence of the Weckly.] -TIthaca, May 15.—The outlook for the Freshman crew seems a little brighter than it did a week ago. The attention which they have received in the last week and a half has resulted in several shifts from one Freshman boat to an- other, to the manifest improvement of the first Freshman crew. The young oarsinen seem to be waking up. On Tuesday evening the lake was smooth and a race was arranged be- tween the first and second University erews and the first Freshmen. eight. he course was the traditional one, ‘from the piers to the willow tree.’’ No. one knows just how far it is, but a crew that can row it in eight minutes or less is supposed to be in good form. The Freshmen were given four lengths start. At a mile from the finish they - were rowing in fairly good form and with evident strength, for the other crews had not yet passed them. No one was more surprised, in all probability, than the University crew, when in the attenipt to follow the second crew past the youngsters, they found that they must fight it out with the men of 1900 if they wished to gain second place. They succeeded in getting past, but, as someone remarked, ‘‘they knew they had been in a race.’’ It ought, perhaps, to be noticed that the University rowed in a strange boat and with new oars. On the way back to the lighthouse the Freshmen kept alongside the second crew, while the University trailed some distance in the rear, rowing in excel- lent form but with evident lack of pow- er. The second University spurted past the Freshmen as they neared the piers but the Freshmen were game all the way up to the boathouse. On Wednesday evening the second University crew started for Annapolis. They were given a rousing send-off and seemed in excellent spirits. The men who composed the crew in the race were: Ft. In. Lbs.

There were whitecaps on the water during the race, and the current was unfavorable for fast time. The time was 11m. 15s., the Cadets follow- ing 7 seconds later. The return of the second crew is awaited with interest, for some of the 49 men will in all probability be put into the University boat. The changes may be postponed some time, however, for during the absence of the Annapo- lis crew, the veterans have shown a4 tendency to correct some of their faults, and it may be considered best to race crew against crew, and at- tempt the pick the better crew, in- stead of endeavoring to pick one good crew from the men of the two boats. There are men, too, in the third Uni- versity boat who will have to be con- sidered in the final choice. At present there is no man in the University who would attempt to name more than three men for the Pougkeepsie crew. While the Annapolis crew has been gone there have been four crews on the water every evening, the first and third University crews and the first and second Freshmen crews. The sec~ ond Freshmen and the third University are not taken out on the lake yet; their practice is confined to the inlet. Some anxiety has been caused by rumors that: the boat..used-at. Annaps- lis was badly strained by the waves. It was a paper shell, made by Waters of Troy, and was the best boat in the boathouse. The Freshmen in the first boat are rowing: Stroke, Coit; 7, Ayers; 6, Will; 5, Hanmer; 4, Marx; 3, Windsor; 2, Smallwood; -bow, Dorn; coxswain, Tracy. Interest in their improvement is keen, and the result of next week’s work, it is felt, will be significant. ———_+>—__—_- Mr. Lehmann in New Haven. Mr. R. C.
