STANFORD ATHLETES
WORKING HARD
Personnel OF Rowing
Crew Is Practically
Decided

Stanford University, March IL
Now that the controversy over the
date OF the big intercollegiate regatta
between the varsity and freshmen
Fights of Stanford and California has
been settled the work OF the coaches
and men here has proceeded and the
big fellows are rapidly rounding into
form.
In the varsity squad the competition
has narrowed the number down to a
wieldy crowd. The eight men who
will be chosen to row in the final race
can be picked with perhaps two or
three exceptions, while the first sub.
stitutes stand out as prominently. In
the freshmen boat the competition is
still very keen, and very little can be
said of the chances of the first year
lads toward winning their coveted
class emblems
During the past week the men who
have occupied thwarts in the big boat
were Captain L. X. Gay, stroke; =.
A. Robinson, 09, No. z: II. b. Patrick,
no, No. 6; c. II. Wondries, 'OS, No. 3;
A. N. Cole, 'OS, No. 4; G. II. Vose. 10,
No. 8; Homer Hatch, '09, No. 2: II. II.
Reynolds, 10. bow
This lineup, together with +. w.
Turner, '0S, AS coxswain. is expected
to be substantially that which will row
against the blue and gold huskics on
Richardson's bay, April %.
Gay as stroke and captain of the
crew is displaying good form In this
trying position. Gay rowed In the
middle Of the boat last year, but has
been shifted recently to take the place
OF Conant, who did not return to col.
lege this year. II Is probable. how.
ever, that II. Il. Patrick may be put
in this position. He has been tried
several times by Coach Turner, and
has developed excellent results from
the big fellows.
The freshmen crew Is working hard,
and according. to Coach Turner the
1911 class of Stanford will be repre-.
scented by goodly array of huskics,
who should have cleancut victory
similar to that OF last year, to boast

The work Of the oarsmcn during the
last week has been divided between
turns on Lake Laguuitas and the long
distance pulls on the slough and bay
waters of Redwood City. Turner has
had the men out for some long tries
at Redwood, and the men are begin.

Gus work.
| Upon the baseball diamond there
has been little change In the situation.
and practically the same men are
holding down the sacks and field posi-.
lions. Bell is at first base, Scott at
second, Fenton on third and Sampson
at shortstop. Winter and Thcilc are
running comparatively even race for
the position In the box, while Ganong,
Mitchell and Rutlidge are in the field
for the backstop job. In the gardens
are such vets 40 Writ. owen, McGroE.

! The triumph of the nine over the st.
Vincent players in three out of the
] four games has moved the hopes of
the cardinal rooters up many pegs.
The result of the Berkeley-St. Vincent
contest will give a good line on the
merits Of the two aggregations., The
men will go into training within the
next week. as but three weeks inter.
vene before the first intercollegiate
match.

men have been putting In hard ticks.
