Tussle to Win
In Squash Tilt

John w. WINS had close call in de-
feating Leonard Brooks after three
games in squash tennis match of the
team tourney at the Crescent Athletic
Club, Brooklyn, yesterday. The scores
were 1913, 15-17, 15--6.
Brooks won his only game through
an eleventh hour rally when WINS was
within one point of victory. The first
game was nip and tuck. each man play
ing his best round the court and
cross court shots to count aces.
WINS managed to get his two winning
aces near the end when Brooks be-
came slightly unsteady.
In the second game WINS led by IA
to 4. Brooks :hen went into service
and collected twelve aces in one hand
This set tho game and in the fight for
the three extra points Brooks collected
three and his rival one. Brooks tired
in the third game and was downcd by
15-6.
Victory for Brooks
Brooks met with better success in
an earlier match when he defeated
orCeStcr BouCk by core OF 6-l0,
15-12, 15-13. Bouck gained the
jump in the first game. and while his
opponent was rather erratc in his
driving collected his aces in quick or
der to win. Brooks was the personif-
cation of stcadiness throughout the
second and third games and won after
hard fight.
Eddie P. Cypiot, newcomer to the
sport, put up a stiff fight before he
bowed to II. w. Dangler by score of
15-11, 15-10. Dangler found his
rival pressing him throughout with
'cross-court shot that almost invaria-
bly, gained him an ace. Dangler played
the better position game, being able to
meet Cypiot's smashing often for
placement shots along the side walls

Team No. l in the championship race
by defeating Y. Pendas at l5-9.

siderably, while he also dropped many
kills" over the telltale.
A surprise was the victory scored by
W. L. Pierce over T. l. Jones by a count
of 15-9, 15-7. Pierce played a craftv
game at all times, making frequent
use Of "nicks" to the back wall that
Jones could not dig up with his

formed, Captain Hyatt, Vail and Mead.
The baseball nine has no veterans and
only ono player-Norman Lyman-who
would have been on last seasons team
had it carried out its schedule. The
track squad has no members who have
won their insignia, and not more than
dozen candidates have appeared.
There are no candidates whatever
for four of the thirteen events on the
programmes of the dual games with
Harvard and Princeton, and little hope
is expressed by the athletic officials of
booking these events. They are the
only meets to which the Yale team
stars of the squad arc altered in the
jntercollegi and the Penn relay
games.
Three Squads at Work
Squads of the three sets of candi-
dates have just been put TO work, the
oarsmen under the coaching of Profess
sor Mather Abbott and Captain Uy-
att; the baseball players under the eye
of Captain Lyman, and the track men
under John Mack. Two varsity crews
have been set to work and squad of
about sixty freshmen have reported.

at Yale.
At least one phenomenal oarsman
is reported in tho group, Herbert
Welsh, of New York City, the former
Choatc School athlete. Welsh was
guard on the Yale freshman eleven
which last fall defeated both Harvard
and Princeton, 1921. The two varsity
cights are at present composed Of the
following oarsmen:
Crew A-Galt, Weir. Patterson,
Adams, Robinson, Mead and Captain
Hyatt.
Crew B-knox, Munson, Meekcr, Hi.
ser, Judd, Du Pont, Austin and Auchin-
Gloss.
Machine rowing and setting up
drills have occupied the practice the
PAST week. The cold wave has made
the outlook for getting outdoors on
the ha1bor slender for the present and
1T Will probably be mid March before
the squads reach the harbor. Al
though correspondence is in progress
Looking to the arrangement of races
with Harvard and Princeton, only the
event with Pennsylvania on May II is
assured. This will be rowed on the
Housatonlc River, over the two-mile
course just above the city Of Derby.
Walsh Helping Nine
Yalc's newly organized baseball squad
has had the aid of the coaching of the
veteran pitcher Ed Walsh, formerly of
the White SoX. Walsh ran down from
his home in Meridcn a couple of after
moons the last week and, although we'll
aware Of the fact that Yale would have
no paid baseball coaches this season.
has given his services in drilling the
novice candidates, who form the major
part of the squad.
Will Lauder, the old New York Ma
tlonal League player. who was Yale's
head coach last season till the war
broke off the schedule, visited the
squad one day. If Yale had authorized
q coach this season Lauder would have
been reengaged, but the new regime
has as its cornerstone no paid coaches
or expensive training tables.
Outside of Captain LYMAN no PLAYERS
of other than class material have re-
ported. There seems material for a
coed outiield with Gage, formerly of
the Penn Charter SCHOOL,; Boyd. of
Andover, and Gordon, of Andover. as
leading candidates at present. Bovd
and Gordon would have been on the
freshman nine last year had one been
formed, and Gage was on his class team
two years ago.

Harvard Plan
For Baseball
Is Changed

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 23.-Thc
matter of expense has interfered with
the proposed three game baseball
series between Harvard. Yale and
Princeton, and as a result there will
be only two contests between the
Crimson and the other two universi-
ties this spring. Havard's season
will close on Saturday, June 1, when
the Yale nine will be probably enter
tanned at Cambridge.
While the varsity mines are fight
ing it out on Soldiers Field both
freshmen teams will be seen in ac-
tion at New Haven. Each time the
Harvard team played away the ex-
penses would have exceeded $500. ac-
cording to the figures of the manage
ment.
The present plan is not to arrange
baseball games with other colleges.
The reason for this ruling is not ex-
planned. but no objection will be made
TO playing service teams week days
or Saturdays.
The freshman nine is to meet it's
opponents only on Saturday. The plans
Tor the spring are stringent, indeed,
and puzzling, unless Harvard intends
to expand her military programme.
Spring drill as announced this week
at Cambridge is to consist Of only
one hour each week, from 1880 to $3.50
a. m. The early closing Of the season
is in line with the attitude of the ath-
letic committee which granted its per-
mission for return to restricted in-
tercollegiate sports with the proviso
that no games would be played during
the final examinations or commence
ment week.
Harvard has lost two prospective
members of the team within a few
weeks-Fred Stephens, who was grad
uated at mld-ycar, and Captain Nc
Leod, who is awaiting call for avia-
ton.
To fill Stephens's place behind the
bat, three candidates arc showing up
we'll The best of the lot appears TO
be Bill Swigart, who is using good
judgment, and in the fall practice
showed some fine throwing TO the bases.
Tom Gammack is another good back
stop, but is inclined to be nervous. A
third candidate Is Phil Zach, Of the
senior class.
Stan johnson, lanky Wcsterner is
gettlng good part of Coach Hugh
Dutfy's attention as a pitcher, and Hank
Erb, boy with Il splitter, is another
of the favored slabsters.
Jones, who batted 500 in the fall, is
tc have a trial at first base He fields
pretty we'll, but is inclined to be weak
on low thrown balls. To plug UP Nc
Leod's hole at second, Johnny Wolver-
ton may be used. Another good in
fielder out for the keystone sack will
be Evans. Bobby Gross, ALI outfelder,
is being groomcd for shortstop. He is
timely hitter, and if he comes through
in fielding will help Duffy solve one
of his hardest problems.
Fisher and Bulard are to report for
third base. Johnny Ward, Dick Holo-
we'll and Gardner Coolidge ere the most
promising Of the outiielders

Tigers Crush
Last Hope Of
Cornell Five

PRINCETON, N. j., Feb. 23.-In one
of the hardest fought games that have
been played on the Princeton court, the
Tigers took an intercollegiate league
game from the Cornell basketball five
by score of Fl to IA, which makes the
second defeat for the Ithacans in as
many days. The lthacans struggled
hard to hold second place in the league,
while Princeton fought gamely to take
it from them. Cornell's loss to Penn at
Philadelphia last night and her loss Of
to-day's game gives Princeton second
place in the league standing.
Cornell, realizing that defeat would
mean elimination from the champion
ship race, started the game with
rush. Both teams fought tiercely for
about three minutes. Then Stewart
tossed a pretty field goal for Ithaca.
which was followed moment later by
a foul goal by Finn.
Gray brought the lead to Princeton
by dribbling the ball half the length of
the floor and scoring goal from the
field. Stewart with foul tied the
score at 3 to 9. Cornell took the lead
again after Allen and Tripp made field
goals. Trimble, Tigers forward, how
ever soon took it away by pretty field
goal, while apparently surrounded by
lthacans about twenty feet from the
basket. A minute later Finn made the
score II to by making a foul goal and
a field goal in succession.
While the visitors outplayed the
Princetonians at times, their efforts
were futile as they never recovered the
lead and the first half ended with the
score Is to 10.
