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;

Po WHI:
The losers in the trials for the eight
oared races‘are expected to furnish men
for a three cornered pair“ar race. 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.

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.

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.”’

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:

The race which the Cornell men won
was for two miles, on the river Sev-
ern. 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.
