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

Bicycle Squad Soon Begins.
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.

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.

The phrase is historical — at least if
you substitute British for English.
Its present use, however, is to
describe the new tie, which is
running the Ascot out of the
market. Some of the designs are

ples.

Baseball Players Out.
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.
