Baseball and Other Matters.
Not less in earnest than the field and
track athletic boys and the rowing
crews are the baseball teams. Yale's
is captained by Rustin, and Harvards
by Whittemore. Both clubs have been
practicing ever since the weather was
such as to permit ii, and both captains
express great confidence in the abil-
ity of their men to do great credit to
the traditions of the colleges, but 1t is
too early as yet to enter into the anal
ysis of their work. Their composition
is very much as 1t was last year. and.
though neither has as yet played up
to the standard of the best of last
years work, the season is still young,
and there is plenty of time for i'm
provement. Yale and Harvard will not
play together until the goth of June.
when a game is scheduled to come off
at Cambridge. On the 25th they will
play again at New Haven. and on the
26th-in case of a tie-in New York.
Lacrosse is becoming more and more
popular at Harvard, and the team be-
gan practicing early in the season on
the new field. The Harvard team is
weakest in body checking" and early
in the season what is known as the
attack" was also weak in passing"
This is the last year that Holmes field
will be used, and this is a matter of
much regret to many of the athletic
students at Harvard, both because OF
the associations of the old field and the
fact that 1T is in the immediate vicinity
of the college grounds proper. while the
new field is nearly a mile away. and
has not the advantages of agreeable
surroundings as has the older one
At the present time no members OF
the faculty of either of the great insti-
tutions of learning of whose athletic
condition has here been considered are
as popular as are Mr.. Lathrop at Har-
ward and Henry s. Anderson, the gym
nasium instructor, and his brother. w.
G. Anderson, the associate director of
the gymnasium at Yale. nor is the pop
ularity of these men likely to decline,
no matter how the contests between
the two colleges may result. Harvard
is generally better in individual work,
and Yale generally excels in team
work. 1t is quite probable that the re-
suits this year win not differ much
In these respects form last year, so
that each college will win its share of
honors. and so the men who have the
physical upbuiiding OF the students in
charge viii be certain to receive due
credit.

Will throw the hammer.
"At the Berkeley oval games in New
York on the 25th we expect to gee very
good work done by the representatives
of other colleges than Yale ana Har-
ward. For instance, Pennsylvania Will
send Buckholtz, an all-round man who
can run a hundred yards and do pole
vaulting and broad jumping in great
style. Orton and Jarvis, the runners;
Knipe, the shot putter, and Ramsdell,
the short distance runner and broad
jumper, will also come from Pennsyl-
vania. Union college will send Kilpat-
rick, the half-mile runner, and Sands,
the quarter-mile runner. Both of these
men come from the New York Athletic
club and have great regulations.
Georgetown college has great ham,
mer thrower, I hear, though / don't
know his name. Dartmouth will send
Steve Chase, the hurdler, another New
York Athletic man. Osgood, the BIZ
cyclist, who has played on the Penn
sylvania football team, is to be there,
and Cornell will send Patterson, the
hammer thrower. All these men are
good, and besides the team of the Uni
versity of California has signified its
intention to take part, and some Of its
men, Barnes. Koch, Copeland, Hoff-
man, Reynolds, Merwin, Dole, Patter-
son, Woolsey, Edgren and Frazer,
among others, are said to be excellent.
So you see ii is hard for us to form
any idea as to what will be the re-
suit of the intercollegiate games"
The Boat Race.
Both boat crews are working hard;
Yale to maintain its reputation of the
recent past, and Harvard to win a VIC
tory which, 1t Is hoped by the Cam
bridge boys, will be the first of a long
series. Yales crew is made up as fol-
lows: Langford, stroke, who now
weighs 172 pounds; Treadway, seventh.

pulled together excellently. Langford
comes from ST. Paul. All our men are
tall fellows. and do not find IL wrench
ing to pull a long stroke. What is
known as the Yale stroke is simply q
long body reach and a long slide both.
Some believe in a long reach and a
short slide; some in a short reach and
long slide. The method here has been
to use all the strongest muscles. We
do not try to pull a specially rapid
stroke. In the early part of our train
ing we rarely got above Is; our best
crews have pulled from 80 to IS in their
winning races. We have practically
had no coach this year; Cook is
abroad, Stevenson Is In Chicago, and
Cowles, also in Chicago. has been able
to help us very little. coming on once
or twice for that purpose. Doctor Boil
ton, Doctor Rodgers and Captain Ives
of the 1913 crew have given us much
valuable instruction for a day or two
at a time, but we have had to do most
of our own coaching ourselves. Mr..
cowles is especially strong in rigging
that is training the boys in evenness
of stroke. proper feathering of oars.
etc. We believe that the present crew
is more harmonious and congenial than
such crews generally are. Our train
ing has been severe, but we have been
more liberal in the matter of diet than
any previous crew, because 1t is COM
ing to be understood more and more
that to do good work man must be
well fed. OF course, smoking and
drinking are not allowed, but the old
days OF raw beef and water at the
training table have departed"
Captain Billiard of the Cambridge
crew seemed very much pleased with
the work of his men when talked
with him, and with the fact that r..
c. Wason is doing the coaching this
year.
Mr.. Watson was in the class of
49," said Billiard, land coached the
crew in 1881, 1888 and 1886. In those
years Harvard won. In 1888 he had to
full charge, and that year they were
beaten. This year he has full charge,
and goes out in the launch with US
every day. Our stroke this year is
notable because of the long body
reach aimed at. Mr.. Watson is very
strict man, and is very particular as
to what is known as Workmanship
that is, sitting in the boat so as to bal
ance 1t perfectly, getting the oars in
and out of the water without any un-
necessary waste of energy and so on.
AS we understand 1t, the Yale stroke
consists of a long reach and a short
slide, and ours is therefore the reverse.
We have been training since the 10th

favor. One thing is to our advant-
age, the duel games will De on

urally feel more at home on our own
grounds than they did last year en-
Yale's.
1t should be observed that Lathrop's
talk was cautious, but it was not more
so than that OF the Yale trainers and
captains. Speaking for the New Haven
boys, Captain Hickok said:
''The duel between the two colleges
will be very close, no doubt, but we
expect to do pretty well for Yale and
are training hard. Burnett. Byers and
Richards are our best hundred-yard

tention and the brain too little at the
leading institutions of learning. and
the partial Endorsement of that view
by the Harvard faculty In Its action
regarding football, have failed TO d.
minish the students interest in ath-
letics to any great extent. AS a matter
of fact, the reverse Is true.
For a long time the students have
been impatient of newspaper criticism
college life, and the half stand against
football taken at Harvard has al
armed them, lest IL prove to be but the
precursor of q more general. more de-
cided movement, to work the practical
downfall of the athlete and the exalta-
ton OF the dig" This feeling LIS
strongest, of course, at Harvard, the
storm center of the ant.-football move
ment. But IL exists also at Yale. by
reason of the fact that there is more
intense athletic rivalry between the
between either of them and any of the
smaller colleges. This is hardly ad-
mitted by the New Haven men. but
IL is to be discerned beneath the sur
face nevertheless. and there is no doubt
that the greater moderation, especially
in football playing. will be shown next
fall. This statement is made by the
writer after a day passed at each OF
the big universities and a number or
interviews with the parties most In in
terest at both Cambridge and New Ha-
ven. Perhaps the strongest evidence
of apprehension as to the ultimate re-
suit OF adverse newspaper criticism Is
shown by the fact that no one at
either place was willing to be quoted
regarding the future of football.
