Inman is undoubtedly the best. He
overcame his early tendency to do more
than his own share and now uses his
great speed both on offense and defense
with advantage to his team rather than
to himself. His goal-shooting is accu-
rate and timely. Smith has been called
by critics the best goal-tender now play-
ing in this country. His steadiness and
care have saved many points. Brock,
who began the season at cover-point but
was later moved back to point, is a re-
liable man though a trifle slow. He uses
his weight in body-checking to great
advantage. At cover-point Coxe has
played a slendid game, though he should
learn to use his body more and depend
less on his speed. He is very powerful
on the defensive. Walworth at right
end plays a very fast game but has poor
control of the puck. Bronson, who, with
Inman, shares the honor of scoring most
of Yale’s points, is well developed on
all lines of play, his greatest weakness
being in following his man. Campbell,
the Captain of the tearn, who has done
a great deal towards the success of the
season by constantly urging and working
for team play, developed to a high de-
eree the use of the sides of the rink for
carrom plays. His.” passing: -46 sacen-
rate, many of the goals which were shot
by Inman and Bronson coming from his
stick. The substitutes were Snow and
Sturgis, both good men, who have had
little chance to get into the games. E.
A. Strong, 1900 S., is manager of the
team.
CREWS ON THE WATER.
Yale’s New Rowing Plan Working
Well—Increased Equipment.
Yale’s broadened plan of preliminary
training for the University Crew has, so
far as it has gone, given much satisfac-
tion to Dr. Gallaudet and Captain Allen.
It has—just as was intended,—brought
out and interested a larger number of
men than ever before, who have had
consistent and careful coaching on the
fundamentals of the stroke. These two
men have done for rowing what Captain
McBride and J. O. Rodgers did for
football last Fall. The work in the tank
since the middle of January, which was
arranged by Captain Allen with great
nicety of detail in order that the big
squad of eighty men from the three
upper classes could be handled without
friction and delay, moved along smoothly
under the eyes of coaches from last
years University boat, with frequent
supervision by the head coach and cap-
tain. Although a great deal of the new
material thus brought out is unfit for
University Crew this year, at least, the
importance of the training, for even a
short period of time, can hardly be esti-
mated. And notwithstanding the divi-
sion of attention, the crew, as far as it
can be called a crew, is as: well along in
development as last year.
Careful pruning from time to time
has reduced the squad to a little more
than fifty men, or two working boats
from each of the three upper classes.
Harbor work has been begun and it is
expected, at this writing; that by the
end of the present week the six crews
will be sent out from the boathouse
daily, where every preparation has been
made to handle the usual number of —
candidates. Experiments are already
being tried for the University boat, and
it is believed that in the course of a
month or so, should the weather permit
continuous rowing on the harbor, the
eight will be picked, subject of course to
change. Everv day so far, has seen a
different seating in the boat, and no
idea can be had as to even a single
position. When the first boat is more
definitely settled upon, the second boat
will be chosen, and as the new scheme
of training has brought out so many
possibilities the task will not be an easy
one’ to select the best men.
THE NEW EQUIPMENT.
Sufficient equipment has been pro-
vided for the crews by the Navy manage-
ment. It includes three barges in first
class condition, two of them new this
opring and the other the University
barge of. last season. The new boats
are built of cedar and are in reality semi-
shells, having a shell bottom, though
strongly braced throughout for the rough
water of the harbor.. There are also
three shells in first rate condition, those
of 1897, 1898 and 1899, and two more
are ordered, one from Ruddock, the
Harlem boat builder, who produced such
a satisfactory four-oared shell last year,
and one from Davy of Cambridge. The
University Crew will use the one which
suits it best and turn the other one
over to the Freshmen. A new four-
oared shell is now in the boathouse and
the four used last June is in splendid
shape. Besides these there are three
pair-oars, all of them new. The oars,
of which a number of sets have been
ordered, are seven-inch blade, 12 feet 1
in length and 43 inches inboard. A new
float makes the situation at the boathouse
as satisfactory as it can be with such a
structure.
On Monday, March 12, General W.
W. Skiddy’s steam launch, which he
kindly loaned the management while the
launch “Yale” is undergoing repairs, was
put in commission and will be used by
the coaches for a week or two.
F. A. Stevenson, ’88, was in town
Saturday and spent several hours with
the crews. He said he thought the work
was being carried on in the right lines. -
Other graduate coaches are expected
soon.
