YALE IN A TIME ROW
Covers Four Miles, Paced by
Seconds and Freshmen.

Gales Ferry, Conn, June 16.-Yale's
varsity eight showed good form late
to-day in a time row over the regatta
course, doing the four miles in 81 min
utes 5S 1-5 seconds. The row was down
stream, with little or no tide, and the
wind quartering.
The second varsity paced the senior
crew for the first two miles and won by
one and one-half lengths. The fresh
man eight then took up the race, which
was a pretty one, until No. 5 in the
freshman boat had oar trouble, losing
two lengths. The freshmen sprinted,
however, and were beaten by only half
q length. The varsity stroke averaged
20.
Red Top, Conn, June ia nine
mile paddle on the Thames constituted
the work of the Harvard varsity eight
tonight. 1t was expected that time
row would be held, but this was de-
ferred until later.
On the way back to quarters the
varsity had several spurts of about
mile each, but the stroke was never
raised higher than twenty-six. The
other crews had short rows.

MEADOW BROOK
WINS OVERTIME
MATCH IN POLO
La Montague Shoots Goal
in Extra Period Which
Settles the Game.

Breaking even after eight periods
and finishing out the extra ono in
partial darkness and drenching thun-
derstorm, Meadow Brook conceded
five goals TO Cooperstown and won a
splendid polo game by 10 10 9 yester-
day at the Meadow Brook Club.

John s. Phipp7. There was no change
in the Cooperstown lineup.
Both teams we're finely mounted, as
II. ?. Whitney sent over a string from
his Westbury barn for Milburn and La
Montague to supplement Mr.. Phipps's
mounts.
Cooperstown used mainly California
mounts, which included some picked
up last winter on the Coast by
Beadlcston and Stevenson.
Milburn was a pillar Of strength,
both in attack and defence, and rolled
up five of the ten goals earned by
Meadow Brook, while J. S. Phipps also
accounted for two before he dropped
out of the game.
The handicap odds were evened up
by half-time, and II was a desperate
struggle, on level terms, from that
time to the end.
Cooperstown, which had lost a half
goal by Stevenson's foul cross on Mil
burn, led by 9l3 to 9 until nearly the
close of the eighth period when Rum
sey was penalized for a foul cross on
II. c. Phipps, which made the score
tie
There was no further scoring to the
sound of the gong, and Cooley, the
referee, ordered the teams to begin an
extra period. The rules specify that
play shall be continued under such
circum stances until the tie is broken.
Cooperstown made early play with
tn ball, but could not retain posses
sion, and after a minute and forty-six
seconds La Montague earned the goal
from a hit-up by II. C. Phipps that
won the game for the home team.
The score follows:

GrantLand Rice Tells
of Some GOHing Stars

better in this respect than even the
leading pros. In fact, Alec Smith says
he will take Jerry Travers against the
field at going down in fewer strokes
from within thirty yards Of the pin.
"He will 20 down in oftener than
any man | know" says Alec, who also
proved that he was far from being a
dead one. But there are a goodly
rumber who will back Ouimet to give
Jerry at least an even fight in this
mastery of the short game. although
Travers Is a slightly prettier putter
TO watch.
So far as spectacular effort is con-
cerned, there is no golfer more pleas
ing to watch than Gil Nichols, who has
staged one of the most remarkable
come backs of sportdom. Gil is the
most slashing PLAYER on this side OF
the water. No golfer will take greater
chances. and il most of these go right
no golfer will score as low. Even be-
fore his sickness and his injuries
Nichols was one of the most feared
golfers in America. And to-day those
with a good chance to win figure that
Nichols will likely be the man TO beat.
1t is not impossible that Max Mars
ton may fash out as Ouimet flashed
fourth in 1913 at Brookline. Marston
is not only playing finely. but he has
fine nerve. and Baltusrol is a course
that he plays up to a high standard.
The same Is true Of Oswald kirkby,
who is due now TO play the golf Of
which he is capable. The Englewood
star proved he is beyond any furry by
dashing from an auto TO the tee and
starting without time to even swing a
club in practice. With Ouimet, Evans.
Travers, Marston and Kirkby there are
at least FIVE amateurs that even the
leading pros will have TO watch.

ago won the metropolitan open title at

have had no one to blame but himself.
After a rs in the morning, Hobens
