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:

No Yale-Columbia Meet.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Intercollegiate Golf Tourney.
The Secretary of the Laurence Har-
bor Golf Club, William S. 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.

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.
