made such favorable impression in last
years c. a. C. games.
The baseball team is keeping up its
hard practice. and on Tuesday will again
play with the University of Virginia. and
next week will begin the Northern trip for
thirteen or fourteen games.
Columbia Athletic Club.
The rowing season at the boathouse OF
the Columbia Athletic Club promises TO be
much more lively than was at first expect
ed, as in addition to the old material at
hand Lieutenant Hecox will be able to
make up crews composed in part OF mem
bears Of the Corcoran Cadets, six or eight
of whom have applied for rowing member
ship. They are for the most part men
who have played on the basketball team
all the season and are in splendid condition
to take up the work They are noyices
with the sweep" but they will learn
readily and ought to make a good showing.
They will report tomorrow afternoon and
take up the rudiments Of a sport new to
them Some of the High School boys again
take their old places in the Shells though
there is as yet nothing settled about this.
Prof. John Crossley, formerly physical
instructor OF the club is pleasantly locat-
ed at Hamilton College, New York. where
he is training the track and field team.
He reports that he has on hand very
promising lot of athletes all OF whom are
doing well and some of them may be ex-
pected to win points for their alma mater
at the New York collegiate championship
to be held at Poughkeepsie, May 80. Es-
pecially clever is 2. Ostrander, a half
miller who is very fast. 1t is the intention
to send this runner to the intercollegiate
championships at Mott Haven, May q,
where he will no doubt bring credit to
himself and his instructor.
Carroll Institute Athletics.
The warm weather during the past fort
night has had the effect of reducing the
attendance OF the gymnasium classes OF
Carroll Institute; and in less than a month
Prof Joyce and his faithful pupils will
begin their vacation. The season has been
a very profitable one. and the attendance
has been unusually large throughout the
season, and scores of young and old mem
bers have been physically benefited by
their systematic exercise. The junior
classes were very bright, and their serv-
ices were much appreciated by the man
agement OF the Country Circus" recently
held at the Institute.
The Circus has had the effect of work.
ing up lot of team and speciality work,
and Wilson, Painter, Brady. and O'Dono-
ghue are doing very clever work on the
horizontal bar.
The basketball team has been a dsap-
pointment, and the result of its rather
poor showing is due mainly to the lack of
interest on the part OF some of the play
ers. The Institute will have a new team
in the field next season, and only two play
ers OF the present seven will appear in
the lineup. The team finished fifth with
six games won and eight lost.
Prof. Joyce is developing a very bright
junior who is already doing some very
clever acrobatic work and for a twelve
year-old promises to equal the best among
the kid" performers. King is the name
of the new find. The juniors who deserve
credit for the good work done during the
season are Ragan, Voigt, Hahn. Lynch,
Kaufman, and Crogan.
1t has not yet been definitely decided,
but it is probable that the Institute will
put a baseball team into the field this sea-
SON. There is some very good material
from which TO select a team and number
of members favor taking up the game.
Light Infantry Athletes.
The basketball season has closed and the
Light Infantry team are the champions
with record of having played four sea-
sons without a single defeat by league
team. Following "a annual custom the
team will be the guests of the Athletic
Association on the occasion of an outing
to be given this time at Great Falls. Man
ager Newmeyer is hard at work on the
details of the affair which promises to
eclipse former efforts. The trip will be
made via the canal on a steam barge. and
arriving at their destination the exeur-
sionists will make a jolly day of it. A
big dinner and all sorts of athletic sports
will be made features of the day. A num-
