were able to keep their seats
The race opened the eyes Of the row.
ing world and more attention was CIV
en- the high school boys, and they were
looked upon as dangerous people to
meet. Later in the season the crew en-
gagged the Wachusett eight in con-
test, nothing daunted by the fact that
the crew held the worlds record. Some
friends feared the boys were over
their heads but they sileneed all croak-
ers by administering a singing, deci-
sive defeat to the record holders. This
victory prompted friends to seek
more game and the crew was entered in
the national regatta at Philadelphia
where it carried off the intermediate
championship and created a. sensation
in the rowing world by it's fine work.
Last year Harvard quickly assented TO
a race with the freshmen, which result
ed in an easy victory for the local crew.
A month later the Weld crew Of Har-
ward, fresh from it's victory at the Har-
lem regatta, was given a fierce race
and finally beaten at the line by the
school boy wonders.
This record for the season made it
imperative in the minds Of many of the
crews supporters that the boys should
erica and accordingly entry was made
in the national regatta at Philadelphia
in July The constant strain in train
ing from February to July and the heat
and impure water of Philadelphia had
bad effect on the condition of some
of the boys, with the result that they
were not in their best form at the time
of the race. The picked crews of the
United States and Canada were en-
tered against them, and, in view Of
their condition, there was nothing but
defeat for them. The defeat was not
without glory, however, as the winning
crew We're forced to make faster time
than had ever been made on the course
previously.
This year many difficulties beset the
boys, when they anticipated entering
upon training for the season. They
were finally Strengthened out and, with
James A. Ten Eyck as adviser, the cam
didates, about 20 in number, presented
themselves for the preliminary work
on the rowing machines. The candf-
dates began work in February, and,
after weeks of anxiety on their part,
and speculation on the part Of their
friends, the crew was finally selected
Yesterday, a cut of which is printed

worked hard for more than two months
to the end of being honored with a seat

in which he rowed No. 2. He is is years
old and built compactly and strongly,
standing 5 feet IL inches and weigh
ing ISL pounds. Carroll will graduate
this year and intends to enter Cornell
in the fall, where he may be further
heard from in the aquatic line.
Sydney r. Mason will hold the rud-
der ropes and direct the crew in the
race This is his first entry into
aquatics, but since the crew has been
on the water he has proved himself
CAPABLE and enjoys the confidence OF
Coach Ten Eyck. Mason is a senior
and will enter Harvard in September.
He is Is years old, is feet inches tail
and weighs 100 pounds.
The substitutes, like the regulars,
gained their knowledge of handling
sweeps in the second crew last year.
Walter r. Wheaton and Paul T. Hag-
berg are starboard men and Fred j.
Harvey will replace any man on the
mort side who will be prevented from
rowing the race. Wheaton is II years
old and weighs 147 pounds. standing
5 feet 1917 inches. He is student in
the class of 1900 and should make one
of the strongest men in the 1900 crew.
Hagberg is another 1900 man. He
rowed No. z in the second boat last
wear. and until the return of Jackson to
this years squad. stood good chances
of getting against the freshmen. He
is Is years old, feet in heighth and
weighs $50 pounds.
Harvey is a senior and viii not re-
turn to school next term. He sat IN
No. 6 seat, in the second crew, last
wear. and with little more weight
would have made the regular crew this
wear. He is 10 years old, feet 1015
inches high, and it requires 1856 pounds
to balance his weight.

school statistics in compact form:

Notable Victories Of

Past.
PRESENT SEASON.
Those Vino Have Seats in
the Boat in Harvard
Freshman Race.

The annual eight-oared shell race be-
tween Worcester high school and Har-
ward freshman crews will be rowed
over the old college mile and half
course on Lake Qls4nsigamond, a week
from Saturday.
The race will be the third in the Sc
ries between the two crews, and it
promises to be- as close and exciting as
its predecessors.
In way, considerable Importance is
attached to the annual contest, and al
though no prizes are offered the oars
men, as a stimulussto best efforts, each
crew may be depended upon to give the
best account of it's work. The race is
rowed solely in the interests of row.
ing ~
To the high school boys, a victory
carries inestimable honor, while for the
freshmen, a victory over preparatory
school boys is almost expected, and for
that reason, a defeat is all the more
bitter. =. Each crew will be trained to
the hour The high school boys have
trained solely with the freshman race
in view, while the freshmen, although
training principally for the yearly race
with Yale freshmen, will go to the line
in their best shape and with the best
crew.. n
The Yale and Harvard freshmen will
race within a few days of the race IN
Worcester, so that the men who repre-
sent the freshman class of Harvard at
Lake. Quinsigamond will be the ones
to meet Yale. The Worcester race
serves ito give the youngsters expert
ence, and for that reason only the pest
trained and strongest oarsmen are
picked by the coach.
The first high school-freshman race
was rowed in 1897 between crews cap
tanned by Frank J. Kerns and Capt.
Higeinson, now of Harvard varsity
crew. The race was the result of inter
est shown among the high school boys
in rowing, and through a. desire BY
Harvard rowing authorities to encour-
ace rowing in fitting schools. The or
ganization of the high school was an
Experiment as never before had pub
lie school students attempted such an
enterprise.

on the rowing machines in winter, and

ward was asked for a race with any of

granted it and arranged for the fresh

1t was expected by nearly everybody
that the Worcester boys would be beat

showing the crew would make. The
race was rowed, and never was victory
so empty of glory or defeat so full of
glory as resulted. The freshmen were

Revolution in Coke Business.


Chicago, Oct. 20.--A revolution in the
coke business of the country is what is
promised by tests made of a new sys-.
tenn now in operation in Chicago. For
the first time soft coal mined west of
the Pennsylvania coal fields has been
cooked successfully. Heretofore all ef-
forts have produced a product far less
valuable than the eastern. because the
percentage of fixed carbons or heat
giving qualities was much less. Now.
LIT is asserted, an apparatus has been
devised whereby Illinois. Iowa. Indiana
and Utah coal may be cooked, leaving
commodity of commercial value at far
less expense than the coke of the east
Levi H. Letter and Joseph Letter are
both said to be financially interested in
the Universal Coke Company, which
holds all the patent rights involved.

Most Of the delegates seem to think it
improbable that the trouble over the

most prominent members said:
There is some talk of removing the
national headquarters from the present
location in the temple to Rest Cottage,
Miss Wizards old home at Evanston,
and it now seems probable that rec
ommendation to thar effect will be
adopted. 1t is extremely unlikely that
the old trouble about the temple will be

quarters today was Mrs. Caroline II.
