310 YALH ALUMNI WEEKLY YALE LOST RACE. Annapolis Caught Well Together and Drove Hard. The United States Naval Academy at Annapolis won the two-mile eight- oared boat race from the Second or Col- lege Crew of Yale on the Severn River, _ Saturday, May 5, and broke the record of the course—1o0.28—which was made by Yale’s Second Crew last year. The time this year was 10 minutes 10 seconds, which, considering the rough water, and slack tide, was fast time. Both boats rowed with washboards on, and even then, were almost swamped by the rollers. The race started at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, on the inside course, Yale at 35 strokes to the minute and the Naval Academy at a point or two higher, the latter taking the lead in the first 50 yards, though Yale got a slightly better start. The Academy maintained a lead of a quarter length to the quarter- mile, when Yale spurted and at the half was within a few feet of being even, but at the mile had fallen back to her original place. Between the mile and mile and a half Yale came up again, but Annapolis, with a stroke two points higher, held her lead and_ finished about 40 feet ahead. The form of the winning eight was not nearly so smooth as that of Yale, but they got in and out together and pulled the stroke well through, which, after all, are the things which, taken together, win races. E. H. TenEyck, amateur American single sculler, coached An- napolis this Spring. The crews rowed in this order: ANNAPOLIS. Position. Weight. Picivtons 3.4, A. stroke 167 Geanon .

There will be no dual bicycle meet be- tween Yale and Columbia this year, it having been decided by the captains of both teams, Saturday, May 5, that the meet was impracticable. It was origi- nally set for the last week in April, and then moved forward till May 5, and then to May 10, because the track, on which the races were to be held in New Ha- ven, was not completed, and finally was given up altogether on account of the nearness of the Intercollegiate racing, May 30, at Philadelphia. The only opportunity Yale and Co- lumbia riders have had this Spring to measure speed with each other was at the annual Spring games of the City of New York University, Saturday, May 5, when the best men of both univer- sities were entered in a five-mile team race, and a mile open. Columbia led for two miles on the five-mile event, but at that point Yale went to the front and Captain E. A. Strong finished 300 yards in advance of his opponent, Wells. The time was II minutes 46 seconds. The Yale Team -was composed of E. A. Strong, 1900S. (Captain); M. Moore, 1902; E. W. Farley; 1901 S.; R.° H. Gentry, 1902S., and P. T. Hall, 1901 S. In the one mile amateur open, Yale ran’ the Columbia riders off their feet and took second, third and fourth places, these men finishing in that order: Moore, 1902; R. H. Gentry, 1902 S., and F. T. Mason, 1902S. George H. Col- lett, American amateur champion, who has been coaching the team this year, won first place. <i Li oe ae Alpha Delta Phi Convention. The sixty-eighth annual convention of Alpha Delta Phi will be held on the roth, 11th, and 12th of May, at Hart- ford. It is to be under the auspices of the Trinity Chapter and an exceptionally large attendance is expected, owing to the proximity of Wesleyan, Amherst and Yale. The banquet is to be held on the evening of May 11, and Satur- day the delegates of the conference are guests of the Trinity Chapter at the Yale-Trinity game. The conferences will be held in the Masonic Building, and the headquarters of the delegations will be the Allyn House. a Mr. Rodgers Leaves Harvard Law School. News has reached New Haven that Mr. James O. Rodgers, Yale ’98, has accepted a position in connection with some zinc mines in Southeastern Kan- sas, and has already left the Harvard Law School, where he has been study- ing since his graduation here. Mr. Rodgers’ change of plans is unexpected to him, but the business offer is one it seemed wise to accept. The change will remove him from Yale athletics, with which he has been closely and suc- cessfully connected ever since he entered JAMES 0. RODGERS, Yale ’o8. College. His service on the Yale Crew and Yale Eleven, his captaincy of the latter, his work as a Crew Coach and finally as a head coach of the Yale Eléven, are parts of a recent record familiar to every follower of Yale ath- letics. The regret. over his departure is universal. : The Society Situation. There has been considerable advance since the last issue of the WEEKLY, towards the completion of the changes in the Yale society system, called for in the report of the Joint Committee. The petitioners in the Senior Class have endorsed the report of their Committee. The action of the Societies is not com- pleted. So far as anything has been done, it has been towards the acceptance of the report. Lae. ~~. . Spring Regatta Saturday. The annual Spring Regatta will be held at Lake Whitney at 2 o’clock, Sat- urday, May 12, a week earlier than usual. For the past few years the event has been much lengthened and en- livened by the participation of a number of scrub crews, but for some reason the interest in scrub crew rowing has fallen off and only three are entered this year for the Scranton Cup. The Freshman, Junior and Sophomore Classes will be represented in eights and will row for the Class Championship. The Univer- sity Crew will be brought up from the harbor for the afternoon, and it is prob- able that the Second Crew will be put into two fours to compete with each other. Athletic Calendar. NEW HAVEN EVENTS. Saturday, May 12—Freshmen vs. Har- vard Freshmen, baseball game; Spring regatta at New Haven. Wednesday, May 16—Yale vs. La- fayette, baseball game.

Downey, of Laurence Harbor, N. J., announced un- der date of May 4, that there will be held on the grounds of that Club a college golf tournament in which Har- vard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania have entered teams. The play will be 36 holes, medal play, each team to consist of four men. This meet will act as a kind of substitute for the regular inter- collegiate meeting, which, on account of a change of date from the Fall to the Spring, could not be held this year at all. Yale has a strong team and stands a good chance to win the contest. The Yale Golf Team played the post- poned golf match with the Orford Club of South Manchester, Conn., on the links of the latter, Saturday, May 5, and won by the score of 13 to 8. These players represented Yale: E. M. Byers, Igor; LL. Po Myers, -1908 S.2 Ae tT. Dwieht: 1900 S.; A. Stickney, 1901; G. H. Hull, Igo1, and C. Hitchcock, 1903. th i wey Interscholastic Tennis Tourney. The annual tournament of the Yale Interscholastic Tennis Association was held Saturday, May 5, on the courts of the New Haven Lawn Club. The number of entries was smaller than usual, owing to other athletic events which were held at the different schools. The championship prize was won by F. W. Breinig of Hotchkiss School, with F. W. Cole of Hartford High School second. The entire result of the tourna- ment was as follows: In the preliminary round C. Shaw, Hotchkiss, was de- feated by F. W. Breinig, Hotchkiss, 6-4, 6-3; in the first round Cole, Hart- ford High School, defeated Goodrich, Taft’s School, 6-1, 6-0, and Breinig de- feated Miller of Hotchkiss, the cham- pion of last year, who was in very poor form, 6-3, 6-4. In the final round Breinig defeated Cole by the score of 6-0, 7-5. Shaw won the consolation prize, defeating Goodrich, 6-1, 6-3, and Miller, 6-1, 6-4. : _At the annual meeting of the Asso- ciation, Miller, Hotchkiss, was elected President; Cole, Hartford High School, Vice-President; the Yale Tennis Asso- ciation will act as Secretary and Treas- urer. The championship banner was awarded to the Hotchkiss School. MADE BUT NOT “READY MADE,” As you know the word.
