MANY OARSMEN AT HARVARD.
Big Flock Of Freshmen Candidates
Yields Twelve Fights.

Cambridge, Mass. Feb. 2o.-Freshmen
have taken a decided interest in rowing
at Harvard. as evidenced by the large
number that reported for the freshmen
crews Coaches Wray and Brown were
able TO form twelve crews from these
first-year men. The majority of these
men are new TO the rowing game and
require much attention.
The first two varsities were sent up
the Charles River yesterday for a three
mile row. The rowing conditions were
ideal. with hardly a ripple on the sur
face Of the water. The attention was
directed to the catch and finish. which
are principally the most important faults.

Ollie O'Mara Speaks.

Ollie O'Nara. who shortstops for the
Brooklyn Dodgers. and who is spokesman
for the bachelor gang, has this to say:
AS soon as guy gets married he
begins to go back. He loses his pep and
ne loses his nerve. He no longer takes
the chance that he did in the past. He
doesn't try the long shots on bases tina,
he did before he got hooked up.
"A married fellow detracts from team
spirit. Instead of getting around with the
oys in the evening. he ducks into some
corner and writes letter to his wife.
Then he sneaks off to bed. The mar
ried fellow won't get into card game
unless the limit is about ten blue chips
for a penny.
"A married ball player doesn't sass an
umpire as an umpire sometimes needs TO
he sassed. Why? Oh. because the mar
.ried fellow fears fine and a later &C
counting to WHEY for the shyness in the
pay envelope
The unmarried bail player plays base
hall all the time-on the field the
Pullmans and in the hotel Hobbies. As
soon a. fellow gets married he plays
the game only on the ball field. At all
other times he plays the love game.
And baseball and love don't mix
