The Yale athlete of the future will needs
have cause to give thanks to Professor
Richards for the new gymnasium. A
sight at the interior of the old one any of
these afternoons will show pretty crowd
ed state of things. Athletics this time of
the year are always on the boom. In fact,
there is little else to do outside Of the
studies, now that the promenade is thing
of the past Nearly every man in the uni
versity, at least the academic department,
who has the slightest suspicion of athletic
prowess, is identified as candidate for
one of the teams or crews. Their numbers
are legion and it would seem that some
pretty good material might be discovered.
Everything is in an embryonic state, and
what the result will be in the different
cases is matter of conjecture. Yale's
brightest prospects for next year, by all
odds, are centered upon the Varsity crew.
To be sure Phil Allen and some of the
other old battle-scarred veterans are gone,
but there are also good men to fill their
places. Ives of '93, who took Aliens place
as stroke in the memorable Atalanta race,
will probably fill it permanently this year,
and good man he is, too. Much satisfac-
ton is felt over the progress made by
Hegeman, the Cornell oarsman, now in the
law school. He had much, of course, to
unlearn, and has succeeded well in adapt
ing himself to the Yale method. He is
pretty nearly a sure man for No. Z in the
Varsity boat this year. His coming to
Yale was quite accidental, as it had been
his intention to enter the Harvard law
school. The summer after his graduation
from Cornell he met Professor William K.
Townsend in Colorado and formed an &C
ouaintanceship which proved to be mutu-
ally so pleasant that it resulted in change
of his plans, and Yale secured his allegi-
ance.
Robinson '92, S., is another man who
has surprised his friends and upon whom
the coaches are devoting much attention.
He has trained before, for freshman crew,
but only for short time. He will make
good man for several positions in the
boat, and it is not unlikely he will make
sub this year and the crew next time.
Jack Homer is busy with his men in the
stcage," and feels confident that a good
nine in the spring will be the result. He
is an excellent trainer and the students
have every confidence in his ability. The
nine will surely be strong outside of the
box, and there are several promising can
didates for that position. There is much
hope conferred upon freshman who is
thought will prove another Stage. He is
built much like Stage.
The freshmen crew resembles o small
army, especially when out on the street
for run. They went yesterday for their
usual jaunt numbering over fifty strong.
They create no little CONSERVATION when
they come suddenly upon bevy of girls
There is much indignation felt by GER
tain members of Yale's youngest class
against their landlady, who refused to give
them milk to drink. They think it is
mean on her part and are agitating
strike.
The following men have been chosen for
the Freshman Glee club:
First tenors-G H. Fox '94, G. Green '94, c. c.
Nolan "a, D. Barber 'e3 S.
Second tenors- Treadwen '9s S., G. B. B. Lamb
First pass = $olIsy il, 81 $. Cary 'ss s.,
G. F. Crawford "a, H. T. McMullen '93 S.
The Junior crew will not commence
training until after Washington's birth
day.
The Yale union met last evening in old
chapel. The question for debate was
''Resolved, That the Indians should be
placed under the control of war depart
ment.
