vALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
IMPORTANT ROWING PLANS,
Yale and Harvard to Meet in Fours
and Auxiliary Eights.
Last week Ord Preston, ’99, Presi-
dent of the Yale Navy, was engaged in
a series of negotiations of considerable
importance in their bearing on the boat-
ing season of 1899. The officials for the
Yale-Harvard race were chosen, ar-
rangements were completed for Yale’s
training quarters on the Thames, and a
conference was held with the members
of the New London Board of Trade.
Most important of all, a four-oared
race between Yale and Harvard sub-
stitutes was arranged and negotiations
were completed which require only the
consent of the Yale Faculty to guaran-
tee two races between crews represent-
ing the “auxiliary” boat clubs of Yale
and Harvard. :
THE OFFICIALS.
On Monday, Mr. Preston met C. C.
Mann, President of the Harvard Boat
Club, in New York and discussed the
selection of officials for the race on the
Thames next Spring. It was decided to
invite Mr. William <A. Meikelham,
Columbia, *86, to act as Referee and
Mr. Julian W. Curtiss, Yale ’97, to as-
sume the duties of Chairman of the Re-
gatta Committee. These gentlemen
were seen and readily consented to
officiate.
A SUBSTITUTE CREW RACE,
The Yale and Harvard representatives
also decided upon the plans for an in-
novation in intercollegiate boat racing.
this is to be a four-oared race between
the substitutes of the University Crews
and will probably take place on Regatta
Day between the Freshman race and
the University race.
On Tuesday, Messrs. Preston and
Mann went to New London, where they
met John McGinley, President of the
Board of Trade, and E. S. Kneeland,
Chairman of the 1898 Boat Race Com-
mittee. Plans for the race next June
were discussed, but nothing definite was
accomplished, because the committee
ior the present year had not been se-~
lected. The Board of Trade repre-
sentatives will be appointed at once
however, and a proposition will be sub-
mitted within the next few days. Presi-
dent Preston, while at New London,
completed arrangements by which Yale
will again occupy Captain Christopher
Brown’s house at Gale’s Ferry, during
the period of training on the Thames.
THE BOAT CLUB RACES.
On Wednesday Mr. Preston met
Lockett G. Coleman of the Weld Boat
Club of Harvard, in Cambridge. On
the previous day T. H. Spence, ’g9,
Captain of the Dunham Boat Club, had
conferred with representatives of the
Newell Boat Club, Harvard’s other
rowing organization. Plans for inter-
club races were discussed, and arrange-
ments thoroughly satisfactory to the
representatives of both colleges were
completed. These will be submitted
to the Yale Faculty for approval and
on their decision depends the outcome
of the negotiations.
_ The plans provide for two races, dur-
ing the latter part of May, one on Lake
Whitney, which will be arranged to
take place on the day of the Spring Re-
gatta, the other on the Charles River,
Cambridge. Two crews will take part
in each race, the Dunham Boat Club
meeting the Weld Club in one and the
Newell Club in the other. It was not
decided which one of the Harvard crews
should come to New Haven.
At Harvard the Weld and Newell
Boat Clubs occupy an important posi-
tion in University boating affairs. The
various eights representing these clubs,
which include all the oarsmen in the
University, meet in a series of races late
in April or early in May, and the men
whose work in the regatta is most
promising are selected and constitute
the University squad. The crews which
would meet the Dunham Fight would
be made up of those men remaining
after the University material had been
taken away. 3
Although the Dunham Boat Club oc-
cupies no such important place at
Yale as her competitors do at Har-
vard, a strong crew will be put on the
' water this year.
Mr. Preston has announced that it is
settled that the Second University
crew will be known as the “College
Crew” and will be entered in the Har-
lem regatta next May.
Wniversity Crew Practice. |
The University Crew candidates re-
turned to work on the Harbor on Mon-
day of last week and owing to the pre-
vailing mild weather have been able to
continue outdoor practice without in-
terruption. Dr. J. A. Hartwell, ’89 5.,
was with the crew on Friday and
coached the first boat from the cox-
swain’s seat. The work during the past |
week has shown a decided improve-
ment, principally in the increased
steadiness of the boat. In addition, the
stroke has been lengthened out and the
time is considerably better.
The squad now numbers about
twenty-four men. The University and
College crews have been rowing in the
barges with occasional pair-oar work
while the practice of the remaining
candidates has been confined entirely
to the pair-oars. The coaching has
been done from the float and the cox-
swain’s seats, but it is expected that
the launch will be put in commission
the early part of next week.
Brock and Williams returned to work
last week after a brief rest.
The University Crew has been rowing
in the following order: Stroke, Wil-
liams; 7, Griswold; 6, Allen; 5, Cross;
4, Flint; 3, Niedecken; 2, Wickes; bow,
Greenleai.
The order of the College Crew has
been: Stroke, Ireland; 7, Auchincloss;
6, Stillman; 5, Brown; 4, McGee; 3,
Brock; 2, Greenway; bow, Atkinson.
Baseball Team Promising.
The candidates for the University
Baseball Team have been practicing
daily in the cage since Washington’s
Birthday under the supervision of Cap-
tain deSaulles, assisted by J. W. Wear,
’99, and H. B. Wallace, ’99, of last
years Nine. The squad has been re-
duced and now numbers about forty
men, including six who have been trans-
ferred from the Freshman squad.
Although it is rather difficult to form
an estimate of the material from the
work done in the cage, there seems to
be at present every reason to consider
Yale’s baseball prospects for the com-
ing season unusually good. Six of last
years Nine are in College again this
season and good men are available for
all the vacant positions with one possi-
ble exception. The loss which will be
most keenly felt is that of Captain
Greenway in the box, but it is expected
that some of the several candidates for
the position will be developed, with
coaching, into pitchers of the required
standard.
Sullivan, 1900, catcher on last year’s
Nine, has the advantage of a season’s
experience in University baseball and
is considered the most prominent can-
didate for the position. Keifer, 1901,
substitute on the Ninety-Eight team,
Waddell, 1902, who had a good record
at Andover; Hirsh, of the 1901 Fresh-
man team, and Bronson, Igo0, a substi-
tute infielder of last’ season, are also
considered men of promise.
Hall, ’99 S., and Hecker, ’99, pitched
in a number of minor games last Spring,
but still have a great deal of hard work
ahead of them before they can reach the
standard required. for championship
games. Simonds, Cook and Garvan,
Freshmen, who have entered College
with good preparatory school records,
and Gibson, 1901, whom low stand ren-
dered ineligible for last year’s Freshman
Nine, are also among the promising
candidates for pitcher.
WEAR FOR FIRST BASE.
Wear, ’99, played first base on his
Freshman team and in center field on
the University Nine of the last two
seasons. He will probably fill the place
at first this year, left vacant by Wads-
worth’s graduation. Robertson of the
I90I team is considered the most
prominent of the other candidates.
Captain deSaulles, ’99S., and Camp,
1900, who have each played on the Uni-
versity Nine for two years at second
base and short-stop respectively, will
probably be in their old positions again
this season. Hazen, third basemen,

candidates for infield positions are un-
usually good. Among them are included

Nine; Westcott, 1901; Noyes, ’99; J.

A Look Towards Next Fall.
M. L. McBride, 1900, Captain of the
University Football Team, has an-
nounced a meeting of all candidates
who mean to try for the Eleven of next
Fall, to be held on Wednesday evening, |
March 8, in the Trophy Room of the
Gymnasium. Plans for Spring practice
will be discussed at that time. Mr. W.
T. Bull, ’88S., has consented to assist
in the work of drilling the backs and
ends, which will begin shortly, and the
heavy men, candidates for the center
positions and tackle, will be urged to
train for the track team in the weight
events.
