300 YALE ALUMNI W EERBRUY Spring, and it seems that the eight points will go to Harvard, though Yale may produce a third place man. The high jump too promises to be a strong event for Harvard with Rice and Rotch close for first place. Taintor or Duval, Yale, however, may out-jump Ellis, Glidden, Ware and Derby for the one point. Johnson, Adriance and Hord will make the pole-vault solid for Yale, un- less Hoyt of Harvard finally decides to compete. In that case Harvard may secure second place. Stillman’s consistent work in the hammer-throw should give Yale the five points in this event. Boal of Harvard, however, will push him for the place, with Brown, Harvard, or Clark, Yale, third. Beck, Yale, will win the shot-put, with the other points doubtful between Boal and Ellis of Harvard and Francis of Yale. A review of the events shows that Yale may be expected to show especial strength in the sprints, middle-distance runs, weights and pole-vault, while Har- vard will depend for her points on the long runs, the hurdle races and the two jumps. ee YALE AND CALIFORNIA, Track Meet at the Field Saturday— The Entries. Yale meets the athletes from the Uni- versity of California, on the track at Yale Field, Saturday, May 5, and will contest with them the twelve regular track and field events. The Westerners arrived at Princeton Wednesday, May 2, from their long trip and will make that place their headquarters during their stay in the East, using the Prince- ton track for practice. Besides the games with Yale, the Californians will meet im the East, Princeton, Pennsyl- vania, and will enter the intercollegiate games in New York. On their home- ward journey, they will enter the West- ern intercollegiates at Chicago, in which they will meet, among others, Wiscon- sin, Michigan and Chicago. In the broad-jump, hammer-throw, pole-vault and 1o00-yards dash, the re- cords of the Californians show them to be very strong, but Yale should win the meet with something to spare. The Californians will enter in the twelve events only nine men, first and second place counting. The Yale entries for the California meet at Yale Field, Saturday, May 5, are: - joo-yards dash—F. A.

The semi-annual intercollegiate shoot wil be held this year May 5, many days earlier than usual, at the grounds of the New Haven Gun Club. Teams from Yale, Harvard, Princeton and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania wil compete. A change in the shooting rules has been made this year which permits a man to shoot at fifty birds instead of thirty as formerly. Each man on the winning team will receive a cup, as will the man who makes the highest individual score. The Yale men expect to make a good showing, although they do not expect to win the meet. ——-———4 6 -——— INTER-CLASS GAMES, A Large Number of Competitors— ‘S¥nter-Joint Races. One of the most encouraging signs for . the improvement of Yale’s track ath- letics was the large number of competi- tors in the inter-class games at the Field, Saturday afternoon, April 28 and the good work done by a large number of new men. The weather was cloudy and rather cold and the track not fast. Con- sidering these things, the performance of J. B. Thomas, Jr., a Freshman, who ran the high hurdles in 16% seconds, was good. In the mile run another Freshman, W. B. Weston, came to the front and won easily. He could have taken many seconds off his winning time, but he was not at all pushed. In the field events, F. G. Beck, 1903 M.S., put the shot 42 feet 7 inches, and George S. Stillman, 1901, threw the hammer 132 feet 5 inches. After the event was closed Stillman threw the hammer over 138 feet. An amusing feature of the afternoon’s sport was the relay matches, between teams representing a number of the prominent eating clubs, which were called “inter-joint races.” The specta- tors were intensely partisan in these events and cheered their favorites con- stantly whether the race was a close one or not. The summary: 100-yard dash—Winner, C. J. Gleason, 1900; second, I. Richards, Jr., 1900 S.; third, W. Arnstein, 1902S. Time 10% seconds. Half-mile run—Winner, H. P. Smith, 1900; second, H. M.

The relay race between the Freshman and the Sophomore classes was won by the Freshman, the latter’s team being made up of R. L. Black, W. Arnstein, S. E. Calmer and S. N. Arnold. The Sopliomore team was made up of J. F. Tenney, J. R. Hunter, J. Taber and F. J Shaden In the Nineteen Hundred “joint” race, “117 Elm Street”. was first, .“Arm- strong’s Joint” second, and “Deladson’s Feeding House,” third. “Batim’s Joint’ beat the “Wall Street Joint,’ after an exciting race and the “House of Lords” defeated the “Mellin’s Food Babies” in the slowest and most exciting race of the afternoon. a ee Yale 15; Amherst 6. The Yale Nine defeated Amherst at the Field Wednesday afternoon, by the score of 15 to 6, in an eight-inning game which was characterized by loose, care- less play on Yale’s side, and slovenly fielding and poor judgment on the part of Amherst. The game moved so slowly that it was necessary for Umpire Gruber to call it at the end of the eighth inning, on account of darkness. Captain Camp’s change of Sullivan from back-stop to right field and Cunha from the bench to Sullivan’s place seemed to work very well, Sullivan playing the unfamiliar position cleanly, while Cunha’s work in throwing to bases was the best seen at Yale in some years. ‘Altogether, the Yale team were scored with 14 hits, many of which would not have been hits had the opposing outfield been able to hold or field the ball. Cunha, Quinby, Camp and Sharpe made home runs, Cunha’s being one of the longest hits seen at Yale Field for a long time, the ball going between left-field and center, stopping only after it had crossed the running track. Yale had made 14 - runs up to the 5th inning and from that time on played very ragged, careless ball. Ambherst made four runs in the sixth inning through the singles of Harris, Rushmore, Biram and Thomp- son, which were aided by the errors of Barnwell and Sharpe, McKelvy, who pitched for Yale, did fair work. He gave five bases on balls and struck out six men. ‘The score: YALE, : AB. R. IB. PO. A. E. (MERDY, 20. os iS ax Bev SB a BAW i etre 2. 24.8 Ok CAM, 881. «dane aA | A ise ic.

As to our New Quarters Our ambition has been to make and equip a store that would meet New Haven’s most exacting de- mands. We have gone on the principle that only the best that any city had was good enough for this city, the home of Yale, and that sometimes that would’nt do. How do you think we have succeeded ?

In the ball game with Wesleyan at Middletown, Saturday, April 28, Yale shut out her opponents and was herself able to score two runs, one in the second and one in the ninth inning. Something of the sharpness of the fielding may be indicated by the score, which shows that Yale made no errors and Wesleyan but 2 and those in the ninth inning. Robert- son’s work in the box was of the high- est order. He allowed only two hits and fielded his position well. Only twenty-seven men went to bat for Wes- leyan, of which number not a man saw second base. Only two got to first base. For Yale, in the first inning Quinby led with a single and succeeded in reaching second on Barnwell’s grounder to third. He was left there however, as Camp and Sullivan both flied out. In the second inning Cunha got to first by Havey’s error, and went to third on Brown’s single. Sharpe followed with a single which scored Cunha. In the next four innings the men went out as they came up, with the exception that Guern- sey and Camp got to first on dead balls. In the seventh it looked favorable for a Yale score, but Guernsey and Robertson both struck out and retired the side. In the ninth inning Sharpe got to first on a single, stole second and scored on Quinby’s hit. Cunha caught well. The score: YALE. AB. R. IB. PO.
