AUBURN STUDENTS SELECT MANAGERS
 FOR VARIOUS TEAMS

Auburn. May 23.-(special)-The an nual vote by Auburn students resulted yesterday in the election of athletic managers for the teams of the session 1912-1s For the osition of manager of each team two students had been nom mated by the central athletic commit tee, and it was between the two that the students had to choose.
 George Reeves Vaughn of Mobile, a member of this years senior class, was elected manager of the 1912 football team of which Rip Major was elect ed captain last winter. The vote was close between Vaughan and the other candidate. A. P. Aldrich. Jr.. of Green wood. S. c.
 George Brewer of Dadeville. the first catcher of the varsity squad for three seasons, was elected manager of the 1913 baseball team over J. J. Couch of Troy. Couch is a new man in college and made a great baseball record in the outheld in this, his first, year in college baseball Brewer, the successful candidate, will graduate this year. but probably will return next year.
 B. S. Clay of Bessemer was elected manager of tho basketball team for next year. There was practically no contest for this position. ]. R. Duncan of Pensacola. who had been nominated as the second candidate, was elected captain of the basketball team by the squad. D. N. Murdock of Birmingham already had been elected captain of next years basketball team, but he resigned college some time ago and accepted a position in California. Clay, the basketball manager. is senior this year, and probably will return. He will be formidable candidate for the foot ball team for, despite the handicap of a light weight. he Is capable back field man.
 A. Moore known to football and track fame as Country" Moore was elected manager of next years track team over P. M Stewart of Birmingham. "Coun- try" Moore is one of the lghtest men in southern football but Is also one of the fastest and most formidable.
 R. l.. Beutell of Atlanta. was elected captain of theN 1913 track team. Beutell is a jumper and on several occasions in practice he has equalled the southern record of feet inches In the high jump. In the recent s. I. A. A. track meet, representing Auburn, Beutell captured first place in the broad and high jumps against representatives of many southern colleges.
 J. E. Pitts of Pittsview, center on the football team. was elected manager of the soccer football team. Soccer foot ball has found its place in Auburn ath- letics and bids fair to stay. There are good prospects for soccer team for next year and probably games with other college teams in event other col leSes take up the game. Pitts was op- posed for election by C. ". NJ. Res si1ac of Mobile, another football man, as well as a member of the soccer team of this year.

CORNELL BOAT CREW WINS THE
 TRIANGULAR RACE EASILY

shell pause gained continually over tho short and hesitating sweep of Harvard and Princeton oarsmen.
 With Cornell catching the water first and getting a half length lead In the first b strokes, the race settled down within the first two minutes to q terrific strug- gle between Harvard and Princeton.
 The tenacity with which the Orange and Black oarsmen clung to the Crimson Was the feature of the contest.
 At the one and one-haif mile Harvard hit up the stroke in q last effort to shake off the Princetonians. But the orange and Black responded instantly, and in the dash to the line gained foot by foot on the Crimson finishing one second after Har- yard.
 The freshman race which followed quickly was even more exciting than the fight for second place among the older crews. The Harvard youngsters had tho better of the start and made their ad- vantage nearly half a length at the half mile. In the next half mile the relative positions had been reversed and Cornell held the lead across the line.

A dissenting opinion by Judge Hig- gins holds that the injunction should be effective only to the extent of in hibitlng playing baseball on the Sab bath and that the club should be per- mitted to continue it's games in the state on week days.
