The University Mine In Training
 The Junior Crew-How the Sopho-
 more and Freshman Crews Are
 Training.
 There are thirteen men now ln tralnlng TOT the university nine. The candidates are somewhat younger and lighter than those who have been in training for number ot years. Nevertheless there is plenty of good material and they will make hard struggle for the championship. The nine IS having regular practice on the diamond at the Field, and they practice batting in the cage every day. The battery will not be as good as last
 year, but Dalzell, who will be the regular
 pitcher this year, already has good control of the ball, and is steadily improving under
 Stagg's efficient coaching. Poole holds him
 well and is a quick and strong thrower,
 although sometimes not very accurate. He
 will improve much in this.
 At this early date it would be premature
 to criticise any of the men. Every one ot
 the criticisms, which have already ap~
 peared, have been entirely hap hazard,
 nothing more than guess work, and nave not
 originated or been sanctioned by authority
 of the captain of the nine or any of the play
 CTS of last year. The nine will be weak, but
 it is confidently thought that it can still van-
 quish it's opponents.
 Harvard will be unfortunate in not get
 ting Bates back this year. He cannot re- turn to college except on probation, and un- der these conditions he cannot be allowed to
 play, according to the Intercollegiate rules.
 Henshaw will catch again this season. The Princeton battery will be comprised of Cap
 tain King as pitcher, and Brokaw catcher. The following is the list of men now at the training table:
 anfo in rd has
 Hef1efngsr '9i s..centerfeld and change catcher; McClung 92 change catcher.
 Calhoun '9l, second base.
 W. B. McClfntock '9i, left field O. McClintock 90, right field.
 Poole. catcher.
 Traver '99 S., Day '89 s. and N. McClin- tock '91 s. are training as substitutes for the in and out field. Traver is fair eft-handed pitcher and Day is frst-rate player for al most any position. He also is heavy bat ter.
 Last years crew, with possibly one excep- tion, will probably represent the class of go in the coming spring races. Their rowing is not quite as good as could be wished for Many new candidates are trying for positions. There seems, however, to be more interest and enthusiasm felt than in any junior crew for a number of years. Glisan is temporary captain and has charge of the crew, and Field 'S9 s. is setting them the stroke. G. Burroughs S9 s. and James, who are at pres I ent coaching the crew, will begin training about the first of next month. The class crews are at present alternating in the use of ! the barge, but expect to use the varsity barge
 when the varsity crew begin to TOW in the
 shell. This will probably be sometime in April. When one crew is on the harbor the I other two crews divide up the time in using \ the tank in the gymnasium. The following is list of the candidates the first three be- | ing of last years crew: Glisan, weight 173 | pounds; Field 'S9 s. 1894 pounds, Sweetzer ! '99 s. 172 pounds, Sheldon 164 pounds, Stew ! art 156 pounds, Bayard 153 pounds, Wilson l '99 S. 157 pounds, Moen 'S9 s. 155 pounds, Rianhard 'S9 s. 142 pounds, Dussler 152 pounds.
 Only eight men are in training at present ! for the sophomore crew. There is not as | much interest shown as there should be in the ! class and even the men trying for seats in the | boat do not seem to be doing as good work | as they might There is good material ! enough to make fine crew if the candidates ! would do little work. The freshman eight are not rowing in anything like good form as yet. The sophomore crew is doing the same | work as the junior crew. They row on the harbor and in the tank at, the gymnasium, ! having run of three or four miles and talk \ ing light exercise in the gymnasium. Moves ! '91 is coaching them. The following is @ list of the candidates, the first three men being | of last years crew: Rhodes, weight 164 lbs. Simms 162 lbs., Aiken 169 lbs, Williams go s. 16S 1bs., Coats 159 lbs., Williams 162 lbs.
