Seventy Candidates Report—Winter
Work Begun.
The candidates for the University
Baseball team were called together by
Capt. G. C. Greenway, ’98 S., on Mon-
day evening, and the plan of Winter
work was explained. The battery can-
didates began practice in the cage Tues-
day, but the other men will not start
active training until next Monday.
The work is to consist of batting and
fielding in the cage, followed by a
short run. Practice at the field will
commence as soon as the weather per-
mits, which is generally not until after
the middle of March.
As has been the custom in previous
years the team will have no professional
coach, but several graduates will assist
Capt. Greenway. W. F. Carter, ’95,
will come on the eighteenth of this
month and remain a week or two. Un-
til that time Capt. Greenway will have
entire charge of the coaching.
Of last year’s team and substitutes
there are in College, Capt. Greenway,
pitcher and outfielder; S. B. Camp,
1900, shortstop; J. J. Hazen, ’98, second
base; H. B. Wallace, ’99, right field; M.
L. Fearey, ’98, pitcher; F. C: Hecker, -
’99, pitcher; Hamlin, ’98 M.S., pitcher;
A. 5S. Goodwin, *1900, catcher; C.. FE.
Sullivan, 1900, catcher, and C. G, Bart-
lett, ’99, catcher; also C. A. H. de-
Saulles, ’°99 S., who played second base
on the University nine two years ago.
At the present outlook it is very doubt-
ful if Goodwin will be able to catch this
year on account of ill health. T. H.
Clarkson, 1901, center-field of the Har-
vard team in ’96, is in college, but will
be ineligible on account of scholarship.
Farnham of last year’s team is also in-
eligible. Of the 1900 team, G. A. Lyon,
E: S. Bronson,’ 'J.: S; Ferguson, F..1.
Crawford, T. B. Clark, Jr., A. C. New-
combe, R. Russell, R. L. Dunn, G. N.
Whittlesey, are candidates for the Uni-—
versity nine. What material there is in
the Freshman class is as yet unknown.
The schedule of games for the season
is now being arranged by Manager F.
W. Simmons, and will be announced
shortly before the Spring recess.
In order to better accommodate the
crowds at the Harvard.and Princeton
games the large East stand of the foot-
ball field will be turned around and used
for a baseball stand, a great improve-
ment over the low bleachers. The old
Freshman diamond was partly covered
up by the moving of the football field,
so that a new one will be laid out to be
located to the right of the outfield of
the University diamond.
The full list of candidates for the vari-
ous positions follows:
Pitcher—F. C. Hecker, ’99; G. N.
Whittlesey, 1900; O. P. Metcalf, ’98;

Law School Baseball Nine.
A second meeting of the students of
the Yale Law School was held on Fri-
day, February 3d, to definitely decide
on the advisability. of having a base-
ball nine during the coming season.
Arguments for and against were ad--
vanced. The following motion was
finally put and passed:
“Resolved, That it is the consensus
of opinion of the Yale Law School to
have a base-ball nine.”
J... dec Blake, y Oe. 1.0.;. Was, elected
Manager and H. A. Segelbaum, ’99
L. S., temporary Captain.
The outlook for a strong team is very
promising. Thirty candidates, includ-
ing many men who have played on
University teams, have presented them-
selves and are practicing daily in the
cage. The following men have handed
in their names as candidates for posi-
tions:
W. J. Malone, N. T. Gorham, J. W.
Edgerton, G. S. Hedges, D. V.. Mc-
Namee, F. L. Vandeveer, G. J. Finni-

A Southern trip will probably be
taken by the team during the Easter
vacation provided that a strong nine is
developed and sufficient financial back-
ing is secured. The management has
already arranged for games. with
Georgetown University, Elizabeth Ath-
letic Club, and Wilmington Athletic
Club.
Other games which have been ar-
ranged but for which no dates have
been set are Harvard Law School, Uni-—
versity of Pennsylvania Law School,
Edgewood Athletic Club, and St.

The Relay Team Defeated.
At the Boston Athletic Association
indoor games in Mechanics’ Hall, Bos-
ton, last Saturday night, the Yale relay
team was defeated by that of Harvard
in the record-breaking time of 3:11%.
F. H. Bigelow, Harvard, ’98, led W. S.
Johnson, Yale, ’99, about a yard at the
end of the first relay. Ira Richards,
Jr., 1900 S., finished his relay about the
same distance behind C. H. Williams,
the second Harvard runner. W. G.
Morse, Harvard, ’99, gained a little
more than a yard on C. E. Ordway,
1900, which H. H. Fish, ’99, Harvard's
last runner, lengthened to ten yards in
the last relay, with A. H. Richardson,
1901. The time, 3:112%4, broke the for-
mer record for the distance, 1560 yards,
held by Harvard.
J. J. Peter, 1900 S., won second place
from scratch in the 45 yards handica
hurdle race. :
Crew Training.
The progress of the University crew
candidates during the past week has
been in general satisfactory, considering
the short time that the men have been
at work. The tank work has been
largely confined to individual instruc-
tion and to the trial of the candidates at
the various positions in the boat. Wil-
liams, who stroked the first boat last
week, has been prevented from rowing
for several days by illness, and Flint of
last year’s Freshman crew has taken
his place.
A departure has been made this year
from the usual plan of preliminary
work, in starting the candidates in on
fixed seats. Sliding seats will not be
employed for some time, as it has been
found that good form and style are
better established on the fixed seats.
Use has again been made of large -
mirrors, which are carefully located
along the sides of the tank. These ena-
ble the candidates to watch their own
form throughout the stroke, and have
proven a very effective aid in the tank
instruction.
