OcomOtiye Runs.

During the past few months, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has mate
rally extended the runs of the passen-
ger locomotives on through trains.
Formerly, engines were changed on an
average every 100 or $50 miles. 1t was
thought that the mountain grades OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad would
prevent an extension of the runs.
However, the experiment was made:
u has proved successful and reduced
the number of locomotives formerly
required by "a, which can be used in
other branches Of the service and save
the purchase of more motive power.

HARVARD FRESHMAN GREW.
Two Ex-Worcester Academy Men May
Have Seats in the Boat.

The Harvard freshman crew for the
race has not been finally decided upon
by Coach Storrow. He has two full
crews on the Charles river every day,
the first under the leadership of Capt.
Guy Bancroft. This crew is made up
of the more likely men to be chosen
for the race with Worcester high and
Yale freshmen and 1t is matter of in
terest to Worcester people that Dave
Campbell and R. H. Goodell, students
at Worcester Academy last year, are
given seats in the waist of the shell.
Capt. Bancroft entered Harvard with
a rowing reputation behind him. HIS
father, Gen. w. A. Bancroft, known in
Harvard athletic circles as Foxy"
Bancroft. was captain and stroke of
one of the Harvard crews of rs, IT. rs
and 10, that beat Yale three times. A.
brother. Hugh Bancroft, sat in the
waist of a Harvard shell for the past
two years against Yale, Cornell and
University Of Pennsylvania. Capt.
Guy Bancroft is maintaining the family
reputation and rowing a sweep that is
the admiration of Harvard men. In
the recent Harvard regatta, he stroked
the first Weld crew to victory over the
second Weld and first and second
Newell crews.
The directors of Harvard rowing are
impressed with the work Of two ex-
Worcester Academy men and it is
among the probabilities that Campbell
and Goodell will row the race. Both
these athletes have been prominent in
the class since their entrance. Camp
bell captained the champion freshman
foot ball team and GOOdell was one of
the half backs of the same team. With
them in the boat the race will afford
an opportunity for working off some
of the old high sehool-academy rival
ry.
Manager C. H. Schweppe of the
freshman crew has furnished The Spy
with statistics of both crews and a
comparison Of tables with that Of the
high school will be interesting. It will
be noted that either crew is older and
averages considerable more weight
than the Worcester boys. Here they
are:
