Captain Hickok Confident of Making a
Good Showing in the Spring Games.

games OF the Yale University Athletic As
sociation 10 be held at the Yale Field on
Saturday, May 4, will be under the rules of
the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur

with banked turns and 22t-yard straight
way. All the events will be handicaps,
which will result in bringing out cracks
from all over the country. A most care
full system of handicapping is in use this
year. and the chances of the scrat tch men
will not. as SO often before. be reduced to
almost nothing.
The most promising men Yale has are:
Spints, Pond. Gillette, Wade. Bennet, Hill
and GiIard: quarter-mile, Chubb and Jor-
dan; half-miie. Woodhull, Taphan and San
ord; mile, Morgan. Brainard. Wadhams.
Scoville and Cleveland: bicycle race. AL
ling, Hill. Heidrich and Parmelee; high
Jump. Sheldon. Cady and Thompson: broad,
heldon and Mitchell; pole vault, Thoams.
Kershaw, Allen and Brett; shot put. Cap
tain Hiokok, Brown, Colt and Stillman !;
hammer throw, Hickok. Cross and Chad
wick; mile walk, Thrau and Johnson.
Yale pins most of her hopes to Woodruff
and sheldon, both of whom are hard to
be at. Their worx at the training table has
given Captain Hickok the belief that they
will carry off first hcnors. Hickok was most
afraid six weeks ago of Hoyt, the Harvard
freshman, who has been gathering up the re-
cords in Massachusetts, but now that the
development of Woodruff and Sheldon has
been SO promising he shas become sure Of
the success of his team. Harvard and
Princeton will have representatives on
hand.
In spite of the rough water the crew has
begun rowing in the new heavy paper shell.
1t is made on the old racing she'll model. be-
ing only about fifty pounds heavier. 1t has
been found necessary to have an extra
strong practice boat. as the heavy crew of
last year destroyed over $1,500 worth of
shells. The crew is heavier than last years
and still seems to be on the increase-the
men now average over ISL pounds. The
famous Leavy crew of '91 averaged but l73
l-2. Treadway has recovered from his at
tack of tonsilitis, and is again rowing in his
old place. Al Cowles coached the men on
THU sday, and he seemed very we'll
pleased. The stroke has been raised from
26 to 80 to the minute. The shell travels
steadily and is running very we'll between
strokes. the lap at one time. with stroke
at 254. reaching over nine feet. The great
tendency for such heavy crew is to row
W hich is so essential. They have been un-
a hlesto cover the four-mile course this week,
but the time made on the two-mile stretch
is very fast.
The Independent Wheel Club.
The first regular run of the Independent

5th. The club will go to the two lights and
