When they reach the stomach. the entire

the heavy feeling is general. But you will
never see dyspeptic who lifts his feet
in a sprightly manner when he walks.

YALE'S CREWS.

After the junior promenade. which
takes place at Yale shortly, all candi-
dates for the Varsity and the class crews
will be called out and with the excep-
ton of the older oarsmen in the 'Varsi-
~ and four-oared group will be put to
sium coashed by the varsity oarsmen
The freshman squad will at that time be
greatly reduced, and possibly only three
eights kept.
There will be no regular work with
the blades for the Varsity candidates
until the work on the harbor begins af-
ter the Easter recess. They will do just
enough work I'm the gymnasium and out
doors running with squads to keep them
in good physical trim. They will build
up In preparation for a warm start and
q hot finish at New London next June.
Head Coach Fred w. Allen will make
two short visits to New Haven in Feb
ruary and March, but will not come to
remain until late in March or early In
April.
He will then reduce the squads, taking
from the class crews their best men and
making up Varsity eight and a sec
ond, or college eight the latter to row
the Naval Cadets on May IL, near Bal
timore, either on the James or the
Seven rivers.
The Varsity and the second crew will
race daily on the harbor under the coach
ing of Mr.. Allen. The class crews will by
that time be rounding into form for the
annual class crew spring regatta on
Lake Whitney. IL looks like a big year
in Yale aquatic sport.

done well to refuse a license for the fight
between Sharkey and Mccoy and give
the reason plainly that Mccoy II such a

be expected I'm which he figures.
This decision was "a surprise TO the
Twentieth Century club. waach thought
81 would make the usual guarantees for
nm honest fight and had already arranged
for Mccoy TO start for San Francisco.
IL was so plain that the supervisors
would not change their minds that Man
ager Gleason OF tho Twentieth Century
club at once began negotiations for n
fight between Root and 'Moffat of Chi
Cago.

willing and Pooler. Moffat's manager.
said that the only drawback was the con-
dition OF Moffats arm. II he could get
IL in condition by the end OF next month,
Moffat would be glad to fight.
Moffats record Is clean and Root will
have to fight fair or he will know that
he won't get a dollar of the gate re-
ceipts. Houseman and Root left for Chi
cago yesterday. They will return prompt
ly III the match Is made.
