each event received gold, silver and

This was the last test of the indoor
season to discover track stars for tn
spring track season, and, from the SaU

looks especially promising. The featursz

Willie evidently did not like the con-

ing baseball game of the season with
New York University today, and the
outlook is bright for good weather,
Eddie Dillon, who is suffering with a
sprained arm from a collision with
Hamell, may not play. The team will
be weakened also by the absence OF

a sprained ankle, and Wister, of foot
ball fame, who is struggling to pass off
two scholarship conditions. Wilson and
Warner, the freshman battery last
year, are showing up we'll, and Meier,
the coach, thinks that Wilson will prove
a storing second string to Heyniger in
the box. He may pitch today Fish

Park will be used in the meantime for

year the team used these grounds, but
as the Atlantic League team, which

At the special meeting called by Pres

the coming season, and the members OF

GIANTS BLANK
COLLEG|ANS IN
LESS THAN HOUR
McGraw's Men Broke Texas
Record for Playing Game
Fast.

SHERMAN, Tex, March 25.-The
Giants broke another Texas record here
yesterday afternoon, disposing of the
Austin College boys in exactly fifty
eight minutes, the score being 6 to 0.
The McGrawites hustled through the
game after getting a couple of runs in
the first inning, as they had to catch
a train for Dallas at $40. McGraw
umpired and started play at 3 o'clock.
The collegians went to bat first, and
at exactly 1858 the last man was
retired.
The neatness and dispatch with
which the Giants accomplished their
victory made quite a hit with the fans
Of Sherman and Denison, several hum
dred of whom viewed the game. The
Oldest i~nhabitant couldn't remember
such a fast game. The park is located
midway between Denison and Sherman
on an interurban trolley line.
After a week of retirement the sun
got on the job again and perfect base
ball weather prevailed. McGraw had
his men on the field at 1870, the pre-
liminary practise lasting longer than
the game. The college boys played bet
ter ball yesterday, and, as the Giants
played a straight hitting game, instead
of bunting and upsetting the college
inield, the innings followed n an
other in quick succession.
McGraw instructed his athletes to be-
have on the bases, and that is one rea-
son why such good time was made
Only three stolen bases were credited
to the Giants. When they got on thu
! circuit they waited for a base hit L
shove them around, and did not play 9

and the latter with three singles.

HARVARD TO ROW
ENGLISH CHAMPIONS

BOSTON, March 25.-Harvard will
row in England this summer against
the winner of the Cambridge-Oxf
race, according to a report here last
hight. An order for a new shell was
given to B. B. Crowninshield, the naval
architect, about two weeks ago by the
Harvard athletic committee, and the
specifications provide that it is to be
of the English body type, with Ameri-
can o%utriggers and American rowing
seats. This shell, it was a at Har-
ward last night, will in all likelihood be
used in the race with Yale at New
London.
The news of the change in type Of
shell leaked out among the under
graduates last night, and there u con-
siderable opposition to the move. The
authorities refuse to talk about 1t, be-
yond saying that the race abroad de-
manded it.

New Plan Suggested to Bring
Out Student interest in
. Games.

Principal Wayland q. Stearns and
Professor w. H. Johnson proposed. at
a special meeting of the Newark High
School Athletic Association, yesterday
afternoon, that the Newark High
School baseball team play its home
games this season or some suitable
grounds where the entire student body
can attend them without paying an adj
mittance fee. Branch Brook Park was
the place suggested. These grounds
can be obtained free of charge, and the
season could be carried through at a
small expense to the association. AS
grounds for practise and home games
would not have to be hired none
of the students would have the excuse
of lack of funds for not attending the
games.N
The good and bad points of this plan
