Great Record

glee over the signing of Catcher

His ability to hit will make Charley
Miller, of Williamsport, a most valu-
able asset to the local team this season
and he will fill a position in which the
Miners have been woefully weak in
several seasons past. Miller's wonder
full staying qualities and his marvellous
stick work make him stand out promi-
nently in the work of minor league
catchers.
"Only accidents or sickness will keep
this man out of the game and he is able
to withstand the rigors of a most
strenuous season, backstopping every
day without intermission.
Miller has a business interest that
keeps him in the East Being in minor
company enable him to look after his
business and at the same time gives
him an opportunity to keep in working
pany and would be gobbled up in quick
time If he wanted to get away.
Miller is a player who is in the game
with conscience. In every game he
does his very best and he listens to
wiser heads. His batting average last
year was $50, and his fielding average
.974.

termine the effects iof oarsmanship on
the growing college youth the Har
ward rowing management has complet-
ed arrangements to nave the best of
the varsity and freshman crew men
have their hearts photographed by the
X-ray
There has been considerable discus
sion as 20 whether the four-mile race
is harmful, and great deal of criti-
cism of college coaches for driving
their oarsmen too hard. Harvard has
lost several valuable oarsmen through
the development of some ailment which
in some cases has been attributed to
poor Judgment in handling the men.
The present plan at Cambridge will
call for each oarsman having his heart

out victory over Cornell score % to
20. The Yale victory turned the tide
and means crucial contests during the
next two weeks.
The Columbia gymnasium was
packed to capacity with eager fans
confident of a victory for the New
York team. This confidence increased
when the first half closed with the
score IL to Z in the favor of the home
team.
Slowly Yale crept forward in the
second period and then with squirt
which the Columbia lads were power
less to check, forced into the lead.
For eight minutes at the close of the
half the score stood at 16 to Ii in
favor of the visitors and Columbia was
unable to tally. Then Benson scored
from under the basket.
Yale outplayed Columbia completely
in the second half. Saving their best
work for this period the Blue never
faltered. Stackpole, captain of the
five, went out early in the period, and
Weiner went in, playing a brilliant
game from the minute he started.
