GOOD PROSPECTS AT YALE.
Return of Veteran Oarsmen Increase
Ellis Chances on Water.


New York. Nov. 2.-Although matters
looked very bad for the Yale varsity
crews chance a while ago. when Capt.
Ide was reported as having decided TO
leave college. and 1t was known that
three other varsity men would not be
back, recent developments have operated
for a considerable change, The return Of
Ide gave the coach five men out of the
eight to work with. and now il is under
stood that Biglow, football captain. is
likely to row when the spring comes
around. With BiglOw last year it was
a case OF giving up rowing solely be-
cause he knew that he had a hard foot
ball season before him in the fan. Big
low was, and will be. a powerful and
useful oar. Besides, Moves, captain Of
the crew last year, who resigned his
place because Of bad health, is out again.
and he Will make a seat i'm the boat

PREPS ARE INDIGNANT.
No Boat Race with Tech High Is
Likely to BE Arranged.

A@AANAF " ~ -NAA hEEhs
The refusal of Technical High School to
consider the proposition of meeting the
Georgetown Props on the gridiron has
caused considerable discussion to 90 the
rounds at the Georgetown school. Presi-
dent Daley. of the Athletic Association.
expressed his views in strong terms yes
terday, and was highly incersed to think
that some Of his fellow-members had been
logging Technical High for a game. In
speaking Of the matter, he said:
I'VE had a meeting Of our association
the first OF the week, and debated the
breaking of Of relations with the local
high school When put to a vote. the
project was lost by a srSall majority. Our
managers, however, received instructions
that they were to go no further in seek
ing a game with Technical. as II was
though no more than right that if game
We're desired the dOWnJOwners should at
least come half way"
The failure Of the two prep teams to
play may mean that the crews from the
same schools will not meet on the Pc
tomae next spring. The manage. Of the
Georgetown crew said that # was un-
derstOOd with the faculty the first of the
year that II they failed to arrange a race
on the Potomac next spring they would
be given permission to compete in the
Henley regatta. This, IN a measure.
seems to satisfy the props. and they have
given out the information that all their
efforts will thus be Centered in winning
the prize at the Philadelphia event
AS result Of the fall track meet by
the Georgetown Preparatory School, sew
eral weeks ago. the management of that
department has made known the fact
that the men would go after the team
honors in Washington this year and not
try to accomplish so much in the relay
races. The preps have a number Of all
around athletes and that they viii cut
quite a figure in the high school cham
pionships IS the firm conviction of those
who have seen the youngsters perform.

KEEPS CREWS AT WORK.
Columbia Coach VIII Train Fresh
men Till Ice Covers River.

New York. Nov. columbia freshmen
were surprised at the announcement that
James c. Rice, the crew coach. made
yesterday TO the effect that the first year
men will be kept on the river this fall
until ice shall make rowing an impos-
sibility. It has always been customary
at Morningside to give up all rowing un-
til January after the fan regatta.
Rice wishes 70 get the freshmen ac-
eustomed 70 the water, and If possible
put them in a shell this fall. BY these
strenuous training methods Rice thinks
that his freshmen crews will go on the
river in the spring more advanced in
workmanship than the first-year crews
OF the other universities, and that he will
be able to give his time to developing
the finer points of the stroke
The varsity crew will now break train
ing until the men start work on the ma
china in January. The coach believes
that the oarsmen need a rest and sew
eral members have conditions to work off
before they become eligible TO row next
season.
