HAUCHTON COACH
OF HARVARD Nine
Agrees to Take Charge of
Team Unit! Season Ends
Without Pay.

Cambridge, Mass, May 1.-THE Har-
ward baseball situation was cleared a
little here TO-DAY when the baseball
committee secured the services OF Percy
Haughton for the balance OF the year.
Harvard's football coach, whose organ
ization has been so strong for the last
seven years, played on the varsity nine
four years as an undergraduate and
IN 1899 was captain of the team. He
was an infielder.
Haughton has agreed to take charge
of the team for the next six weeks
without pay from the athletic associa-
ton. Il hardly is likely that he will as
sumo 10 do much coaching, but his
choice assures peace in the baseball
camp, which has been pretty much split
up because Of the resignation of Dr..
Sexton as coach last week. Most Of
Harvard's important games remain TO
be played and while the team is well
grounded there is still a lot Of work
to be done, particularly with the bat
terry men.
Haughton will have the ssistance Of
other graduates for the rest Of the
year, it having been decided not 10 Sc
lect another professional baseball coach
until next fall.
Harvard, IN its games with Yale and
Princeton. has agreed that there shall
be no coach sitting on the bench with
the players. Il is likely, however, that
liaughton will regard this rule for all
Of Harvard's remaining ball games.

RICE LIKES YALE CREW
Columbia Coach Praises Eight
That Beat Cornell.

Jim Rice. coach of the Columbia
crews, IS Of the opinion that Yale has
one of the most powerful crews in
years. He saw the Yale Princeon-C Cor
nell regatta on Lake Carnegie, last Sat
urday, and had a few words TO say
about the Yale men, although ne would
not comment on the Cornell or Prince
ton eight.
"Nickals seemed to have his men on
longer slide said Rice, "and they
row lot easier than they did IN the
Pennsylvania race. Their chief merit,
however, is in the fact that they are
so big and strong. 1t is seldom you
see 80 many big men in a boat, and a
coach who has such material to work
with should be able 10 produce mas
terpiece.
THE men row with lots of power and
they slug their way through the wa
ter with great speed. Their waterman
ship is clean, and the blade work is
good, but what they lose in form they
more than make up in strength"

SOME SHOTS OFF

Many Of the lads who appeared at
Wykagyl yesterday announced their in
tentlon of competing for the metropoli-
tan junior championship at Garden
City on June % and 80. At that time
all Of the schools Will have closed and
studies will be a thing Of the past for
the summer.
Perhaps it would not be a bad idea
10 have the interscholastic around the
same time another year. for several
youths we're kept away yesterday
through their school work.
II was rather unfortunate that more
notice could not have been given this
tournament Arrangements were made
hurriedly, and doubtless the field would
have been several times the size If the
conditions had been generally known.
Members of the New York Newspaper
Golf Club will visit the links Of the
SwanOy Country Club. near Mount
Vernon next Monday, for a day a. golf.
This phase Of the organization is be
coming not only interesting but i'm
portant, for monthly visit 10 some

mits of wider experience at the royal
and ancient game. Variety is the spice

CALL FOR FOOTBALL
MEN GOES UNHEARD
Fisher Blames THE Spectator"
for Not Giving Notice the
Needed Publicity.

Columbia made its first call yester-
day for candidates for the 1915 varsity
football team. Inasmuch as the call
came simultaneously with the first Of
the final examinations for the under
graduates, there was not wildly en-
thusiaStIc occssIOn from Hamilton
Hall, the college building, to the attn
letic Office. IN fact when Harry Fisher
closed the doors last night not sin
gle candidate had put IN an appear
ance.
Fisher put the blame on THE Spec
tator," the college daily, because the
call found a resting place among the
obituary items. and therefore did not
attract universal attention.
II is not the intention OF the CO.

take the names and statistics Of the
men who plan to play football next

be made before the students disperse
