- 164 DUNHAM CLUB CREV, Plan to Improve Scrub Crew Row- ing—Outlined. Encouraged by the success of the scrub crews of the past two years, the Dunham Boat Club has begun to lay plans for their development into feeders for the University crew, something after the manner pursued by the Weld Club of Harvard. The first scrub crew, which went on the water three years ago, rowed for the exercise and enjoyment there was to be had out of it. A rival al- most immediately appeared and natu- rally a contest followed, which was so close and exciting, the time for the mile being something under ten min- utes, that the onlookers were excited into starting eights of their own. In three years these crews grew from two to fifteen and it required two afternoons of racing in the last Spring regatta to decide the winner. But, although almost 150 men were brought into some kind of training and were undoubtedly benefited by the exer- cise, the quality of the oarsmanship on the average was not high, and in the estimation of some good judges did more harm than good as, far: as the development of University material was concerned. Faults were learned, it was said, through the want of a coach, or through a coach who didn’t know how to teach the stroke, which would be almost impossible to eradi- cate. THE NEW PLAN. The plan of the Dunham Boat Club for the coming season is to have, as be- fore, crews formed from the dormitories, as many as can be gotten together, un- der a captain who has had some experi- ence in rowing. These will row in the tanks as soon as the University and Freshman squads have gone to the har- bor, and will preserve a mild kind of training. When work is begun in the barges the best men of the scrub crews will be gathered together under the name of the Dunham Crew squad, and will be given a chance to row on the Dunham Crew under the instruction of a coach appointed by the University Captain. If they are found inefficient they will be returned to the crews from which they were taken and new promis- ing men taken on. In the class races the Dunham Crew will compete and later will enter the Harlem River Regatta in June, where its chief com- petitor will be the Weld Club Crew of Harvard. ——_——— + > —___— On the Harbor. The candidates for the University Crew rowed on the harbor on Saturday, a week earlier than the first outside work last year. Pair oars and two barges were used. The first crew rowed in the following order: Stroke, Wil- liams; 7, Greenleaf; 6; Olcott; 5, Griswold; 4, Flint; 3, Niedecken; 2, Wickes; bow, R. M. Patterson. The Second: crew: | stroke, <“Caméron*:’’ 7, Auchincloss; 6, Stillman: 5, Brown: 4, Gillett; 3, ‘Cross: = Thomas: bow, Waterman. Harbor work will continue at inter- vals when the weather permits.

In a few days Captain Laurance Tweedy, ’99, will issue his call for the bicycle team and the men will be put at work in the Gymnasium till the roads get fit for riding. George H. Collett, the amateur champion rider in the mile event, will assist Captain Tweedy in his work. There is some good material in the College and the chances for a good team are promising. ————— > > _-_-—_ Yale Wins Championship. The Yale Hockey team won the In- tercollegiate championship on Friday evening, Feb. 3, by defeating the Brown University Hockey team by the score of 4 to 3, at the St. Nicholas Rink in New York. The league included Yale, Columbia, Pennsylvania and Brown, and though some hard-fought matches were played Yale won by a com- fortable margin in each case. Later in the season Yale will meet Harvard at the same game, but neither the time nor the place has been fixed upon. In Friday night’s game the first score was made five minutes after play began by . Stoddard and Palmer, Brown strengthened her defense greatly and it required 18 minutes hard work before the next point was scored against them, this time by Stoddard unaided. In the second half the same play again got the puck through the Brown’s goal. At this the latter’s players began a pluckly up-hill fight and with only three minutes of play tied the score. Stod- dard saved the day for Yale by scoring the winning goal within a minute of the time limit. + >—___—- Freshman Baseball Candidates. About sixty men handed in their names on Tuesday, January 31, as candidates for the Freshman baseball team. Regular work will be begun on February 13th.

CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS. Weeting of I. A. A. on February 25 Will Be Important, The annual meeting of the Intercol- legiate Atheletic Association will be held in New York on February 25. Gus- tavus T. Kirby, Chairman of the Ad- visory Committee, has announced a number of amendments to the constitu- tion and by-laws to be submitted at that time: The other members of the Ad- visory Committee are, James M. Magee, Yale; Murdock Kendrick, University of Pennsylvania; Wendell Baker, Har- vard, and Oliver Shiras, of Cornell. The principal amendments have been framed with a view of removing the objectionable features which have char- acterized some meets of the Asso- ciation. They involve, among _ other measures, the appointment of a faculty committee in accordance with the fol- lowing proposed addition to the section on management: “The President of the Association, immediately after his election, shall appoint a faculty committee of four, a member being designated from its faculty by each of the four universities or colleges| making the highest scores in points at the previous annual field meeting.” Other important amendments’ are the following: “No student shall represent a college or university at the annual meeting who is not a student for a degree, or taking a special or partial course that requires an amount of work regarded by the college authorities as equivalent to the work required by a student for a degree.” “No one shall represent any college or university at the annual meeting who has been dropped from his class into a lower class or from a first-year class out of his college or university, or who, not being in good standing in one de- partment, thas been transferred to an- other, until he shall have completed one calendar year’s work and passed satisfac- tory examinations thereon, or has been permitted by his college or university to regain his class or department from which he was dropped or transferred.” These amendments will doubtless receive the unanimous support of the advisory committee and will be adopted in turn by the Association. HARVARD’S AMENDMENTS. ™ In addition Captain Roche of the Harvard Track Team has sent a letter to Secretary Barringer, announcing that Harvard will offer two amendments to the Constitution at the meeting of the Association. They are as follows: “No delegate shall represent a uni- versity or college at the annual meeting, unless he is a student in attendance at the university; but an alumnus, ex- member or graduate, may be called in for advice by a two-thirds vote of the association.” “A student shall be allowed to com- pete at the intercollegiate meeting four times, and no more. This applies to all departments, Medical = School, «Law School, Academic, etc. Ifa student has represented one college in any inter- collegiate track meeting of any sort and has won a point, meaning first, second or third place in any event, he shall not be eligible to represent any other college he may hereafter attend in the intercollegiate meeting. This amend- ment not to be retroactive, but affect- ing only those who enter college after the date of the adoption of this ‘amend- ment.” —_____+»—__—_ Intercollegiate Bicycle Ass’n. Within a fortnight a meeting will be held at which a constitution and by- laws for the Intercollegiate Bicycle As- sociation will be adopted. This is in accordance with the plan adopted at the last meeting of the Intercollegiate Ath- letic Association, at which it was de- cided that the bicycle races should be held this year under the auspices of a separate organization. J. T. Williams of Columbia will be Chairman of the committee on organization and will be assisted by either Manager H. T. Bowles, ’99, or Captain L. Tweedy, ’o0, of Yale, and a representative from Har- vard. TheFnglish Square The phrase is historical — at least if you substitute British for English.

Nearly sixty candidates responded to the call of Captain deSaulles, for candi- dates for the University Baseball Nine on Monday afternoon. From present indications it would appear as though, in all positions but the battery, Yale might have a strong team. A good battery, too, may be developed, but, as for several years past, Yale has not been fortunate in finding stars in the Fresh- man class in the box or at the plate The list of candidates with their post- tions were not complete enough to prin when the WEEKLY went to press.
