DE ORC WINS AND
LOSES TO LOCALS
Champion Three-Cushion Player Beats
Frank Sherman and Is De-
feated by Wallace.

Champion De ORC played two Cam.s at
the Royal Billiard Parlors last night.
each of forty points three cushions, the
first against Frank Sherman. which he
won. 40 to y, and the second with Walter
Wallace. which he lost. 20 to "a. big
crowd watched the play and great inter-
est was centcred IN the contests.
In the first games the two veteran
players took matters easy. both playing
at a strong and fast pace Each made
high run of four points and. while
there were many misses and (either by
accident or intcntion) much safety pIay.
the game was a lovely one from start
to finish
The second game was in the nature
of consolation affair, Wallace having
lost his game Thursday night by a single
point The local man was in great form
and simply out-played the champion at
every point The latter had some bad
breaks, but h" could not overcome the
lead which Wallace took at the start and
maintained to the end
At one time the local man was ten
points ahead. but being caught in a
bunch of safety leaves. was nearly over
taken. Just at the close of the game.
the champion played safety shot which
left what appeared to be an impossible
combination, but Wallace solved il and
ran to within one point of the finish
when De Orc was some six points behind.
He failed to score and Wallace took the
finishing shot. 1t was a great game
fairly won. and does no little credit to
the local player.

CORNELL CREWS ON THE WATER
Three Varsity Boats Take First
Spin Of the Season.

Ithaca, y. Y. Feb. @1.-CoTnell oarsmrn
got out on the inlet yesterday for the
first time this season. Three varsity
combinations were boated in gigs by
Coach Courtney. and for an hour they
rowed up and down the three quarters Of
a mile of open water made available by
a twO-weeks thaw There was much
satisfaction in the rowing camp, because
the crews weT" able to get out so early.
Last year they did not get on the water
until March = and yesterday Is the
earliest date in fve years in which the
outdoor work has been started. Unless
an unexpected cold spell comes the GA RS
men will remain out of doors from now on.
The inlet is not entirely free from ice.
and therefore Coach Courtney would not
risk using shells. From the State street
bridge down beyond the boathouse. how
ever. there is comparatively free chan
mel. and it is probable that dynamite will
soon be used TO clear out the stream
straight down TO the lake. The oarsmen
who We're sent out yesterday include the
best material available from last years
varsity boat. from last years freshman
boat and from last years freshman boat
and from the junior eight of last spring.
