 Crews Practice DaiIy-What is Being Done
 in All Branches of Ath1etics-Lack of
 Interest in Track Athletics.
 During the past week the training of the crew candidates has steadily be- come more rigorous, both in general exercise and in the rowing in the tank, in line with the plans made at the opening of the season. The number of candidates for the university crew is still the same, and all are now rowing almost daily. The coaching has been done mostly by Captain Armstrong, while Cross '96, has assisted with the second crew. The training table will begin during the early part of March, about the same time as last year. The first boat last Saturday was as follows: Stroke, J. H. Simpson '97; No. ', R. B. Treadway '96; No. 6, w. R. Cross '96; No. 5, A. w. Dater '95S.; No. 4, JIM. Longacre '96; Mo- 8, T. w. Miller '97; No. ?, H. c. Holcomb '95S.; bow, J. S. Wheelwright '97. The second crew was; Stroke, J. R. Judd '97; No. z, H. C.. Campbell '97; No. 6, P. H. Bailey '97; No. 5, F. Coon1ey '96j No. 4, D. V. Sut- phin '97; No, 3, s. Patterson '97; No. 2, R. Armstrong '95S.; bow. w. P. Paret '96. Other candidates are: w. M. Beard '96, c. T. Nichols '96 s., R. L. Sheppard '96S.
 The candidates for the freshman crew now number twenty-two, and on differ ent days of the past week have been coached by Captain Armstrong '95S.' Cross '96, Treadway '96, and Beard '96, who had charge last Saturday. The men are acquiring the Yale stroke very readily, and it is very probable that two or three will be given trial for the university crew. The first crew is rowing as follows: Stroke, P. Whit ney 98; No. ', R. Hitchcock '97 S.; No. 6, G. Langford '97 s.; No. 5, A. F. Ire land '97 s.; No. 4, J. O. Rodgers '9S; No. 3, J. T. Marsh '98; No. 2, D. F. Rogers '98; bow, JIM. Gerard '97S. The second eight Is: Stroke, J. H. Johnston '97 S.; No. 7, E. H. Brewer '97 S.; No, 6, l.. B. Cadwalader '9S; No. 5, l.. B. Johnson '9S; No. 4, w. R. Betts '9S: No. 8, E. F. Tweedy '97 S.; No. ?, c. F. Cram '97 s.; bow, J. c. McLauchlan '9S.
 The candidates for the track athletic team were given hard work on Satur- day. The sixty long distance men have been divided into two squads, the one under the leadership of E. S. Bracket '97 running in the gymnasium, while those under w. Cheney '96 take out door runs. Captin Hickok directs the candidates in the weight events on the main floor, while Trainer Murphy gives those training for the sprint and hurdle events practice in starting. W. H. Wad- hams '96 ran a triad mile in 4:56 last Saturday. Hereafter the baseball cage will be used by all candidates in the sprints and hurdles, who should report daily between and 4 o'clock.
 The freshman baseball candidates will be called out immediately after Wash ington's birthday. These will be divid- ed into two squads, candidates for field positions and candidates for the bat tery. Captain Rustin will have charge of the former and Carter '95 of the lat ter The first five or six best players will be placed with the university squad. The first game of the spring trip will probably be played with the Brooklyn League team and the next with the Bal t1rnOre nine. FToIn there the SCIleuule will be about the same as last year, play ing Georgetown university, University of Virginia and University of North Carolina.
 An unusually small number of men have thus far presented themselves for 1 positions on the Mott Haven team Few of the old men have reported and nearly all the candidates are new men without any experience. It is feared that this lack of interest in the team will cripple It's chances for success in l the intercollegiate games.
 The Yale-Princeton debate will be held in this city May 1. The question has not yet been decided on, The sub mission of questions by the students is earnestly requested. Something perti- I rent and interesting Is desired.
