Is Scheme of Prof: Abbott

against Harvard l do not say that
we will follow this course, but such
possibility has certain attraction.
especially as we have such an excel
lent stroke for short race in Hem
inway.
"Of course, it is too early yet to
speak Of prospects of victory. I do
not believe, however, that in the his
tory of Yale rowing there has ever
been such wealth of good material
or such lack of experienced oars.
1t is something like training a whole
squad of freshmen, and, as with
freshmen, one can never say what
will happen
1--WE have been immensely helped
by the weather. At this time of year
we are usually breaking the ice in
front of the boathouse in the vain
endeavor to put our boats in the
water, and yet this year we have
already completed three weeks Of
continuous work on che harbor.
We put the class crews on the
water yesterday, and l would like to
issue call for a few more seniors.
We shall have, | think, two junior
and three sophomore crews. The
winning class eight will row against
the winning Harvard class crew in
the spring regatta of May "a, and l
feel that the seniors could easily win
this honor if they would only come
out.
ave shall keep three university
crews going until the end of this
month, and perhaps longer. The
class of '22 has come out strong.
There are at least nine crews on the
water, and possibly we shall have
two more. Coach Hyatt's task is a
very difficult one because of the lack
of fall rowing. He has nevertheless
done splendid work with the great
amount of material, and his first four
crews are already rowing in good
form. | have every expectation that
he will have a good representative
eight by May 3, when he has his race
against Princeton.
"Our policy of turning no one away
from the river, no matter how bad
an oar he IL, will be adhered to until
the regatta on May "a. when we
should have "a good day of racing, as
we then shall have at least twenty
crews in all on The water. and many
school crews and outside contestants
to race against them. Certainly tho
rowing management Is doing its best

One Will BE Trained for
TwO-Mile Races and the
Other for Four Miles

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March s.-Two
records in the seasons training of
Yale's rowing squad have been made
by Professor Mather Abbott, the crew
coach, the first in picking tentative
varsity eight earlier than ever before,
and the second in permanently leaving
the gymnasium and the rowing ma
chimes for the harbor at an unprece-
denied date.
The first innovation was made be-
cause of Yale's Easter race with the
University of Pennsylvania on the
Housatonic River. DR.. Abbott decided
to select the varsity crew and to make
such gradual changes from the second
and third boats as seemed desirable
Weather greatly aided him in depart
ing from the indoor quarters to the
hnrbor.
The agitation in favor Of making
the annual race with Harvard two
mile affair has died out. 1t is now
certain that the varsity event will be
tour-mile contest as usual, although
details of the annual Yale Harvard re-
gatta on the Thames will not be set
"A
bott is considering the formalio of
two varsity crews on entirely different
lines, the first eight to be trained ex-
clusively for four-mile race, the sec
ond for the two-mile event which
Yale will row against her rivals in the
earlier races Of the season.
1t was announced to-day that the
winner of the interclass championship
would meet the Harvard champion
class crew in the Yale spring regatta
on May Cd. Heretofore the champion
class crews of tho two universities
have met, but Yale has sent its crew
to Cambridge for tho race. " ~

Dr. Abbott discussed Yales outlook

no oarsman can be sure Of his place.

for stroke. At present there is
no doubt that B. Heminway, 1921,
is the best stroke on the river, but
his youth and lack of weight make it
almost impossible to use him this
year. The other two strokes, Solder
ston, of the 1919 freshman crew, and
Schieffeln, 1919, are nearly even,
and either would do we'll at that seat
in the university boat. They will
have to fight it out in the next two
weeks.
"All the men Of the first three
university crews are rowing we'll,
but they depend too much upon
their arms. This, of course, is due
to lack Of experience. Last year
there was little time for training,
because Of military and naval work,
and this year there was no fall
practice. Therefore. I do not ex-
pect to have the Fights in frst-class
trim for the race with Pennsylvania.
with such an excellence of ma
terial as is at our disposal, there is
strong temptation to have two uni
versity crews, and to train lighter
crew for the two-mile races against
Pennsylvania, Princeton and Column
bia, at the same time developing a
heavier crew for the four-mile race

Fordlnam Baseball
Prospects Bright;
Hard Work Ahead

Fordhnm's baseball squad is enjoy
ing some real workouts these days.
Greeted with weather that would be
considered ideal in a Southern train
ing camp The Bronx colegians have
been getting plenty Of batting and
fielding practice for the past three
weeks, and Arthur Devlin, the Maroon
coach, is getting good line on his ma
terial before the opening Of a busy
campaign.
Although it is somewhat early to
forecast the seasons prospects, the out
look is very encouraging for a fast
nine. In fequent practice games be-
tween the first and second mines, the
players have been fielding in snappy
fashion and the opposing twrlers have
exhibited good control and have been
putting lots of stuff on the ball.
good infeld combination, if not a
permanent one, is Mclaughlin at first
base, Corcoran at second base, Lefevre
at the third sack and Frsch at short
stop.
Sweetland and Donovan are the lead
ing catchcrs, and the veterans, Cap
tain Finn. Halloran and Martin, along
with Mcnamara and MacIncrAey, should
handle the twirling burden. The out
field will probably consist of Eustace,
Mcdonald and Keough.

Team Will Open
With Rutgers Nine

The baseball team of the College Of
the City of New York will open the sea-
son on April S against Rutgers, at New
Brunswick. announced Manager Arthur
Taft, of the Lavender nine, yesterday
Manager Taft has nearly completed his
schedule. which, it is expected, will be
made public this week.
The City College nine has been held
up both by the prolonged basketball
season and bad ground conditions in
the Stadium. The court season ended
however. for the Lavender last night
SO that now Coach Deering will be able
to devote his entire time to grooming
the baseball team.
The Lavender nine promises to be
stronger than ever this year, in its
usual weak spot, the battery positions
The Lavender coach has four varsity
veterans for the battery jobs, and, in
addition, a reliable twirler in George
Feigin, who did mound duty for last
years freshmen
The vets include Samual Mathews
and Michael Garvey, pitchers, both of
whom performed last season, and Ma
than Krinsky and Frank Murray, also
of one years experience, at the receiv-
ing end.
For the garden positions there is q
host of candidates. Captain Harry Lee
bovsky will probably patrol the left
pasture, while Barlow, Cullen, Kelly,
Wolf and Newman, all of last years
plebes, will fight it out for the other
outfeld jobs. Freehill is the only vet
, for the first line of defence, but Sake,
Piedmont, Diamondstein, and McNulty,
who scooped grounders for the year
lings last season, are expected to guard
the sacks in reliable style

During the past week conferences
have been held with the idea Of ar
ranging an intercollegiate track and
field meet in which the colleges of
Greater New York would sc the COM
petitors. The probable date for the
games, which would determine the city
championship, is May 3, and it is ex-
pected that South Field, Morningside
Heights, or Ohio Field, University
Heights. will be selected as the place
Of holding the meet.
The colleges which would be eligible
to compete are Columbia University,

arouse much interest among followers
of track and field sport in the greater
city cannot be doubted. Columbia
would naturally be the favorte be-
cause of her strength in distance run
ming and the field events, but New
York University and Fordham have
well-balanced squads at work. and &C
cording to reports Brooklyn Poly and
City College have material of sufficient
strength to make good showing.
The Springfield, Mass, Chamber of
Commerce is sponsor for the move
ment which has resulted in the form
ing of the Eastern intercollegiate
Athle Association. Officers have al
ready been chosen, and on March %
a meeting will be held at Springfield
for the purpose of adopting consti-
tuition and bylaws. The colleges
which have signified their intention Of
Joining tho new association are Bos-

Massachusetts Agricultural College.
New Hampshire State College, New
YORK. University, Stevens Institute OF
Technology, University Of Maine,
Worcester Polytechnic Institute and
Springfield Y, M. G. A. College. Trim
ity College at Hartford has also been
asked to enter the organization.
The Eastern association will in no
way conflict with the New England
intercollegiate Association, as the for
mer's track and field meet will be held
week previous to the gamse of the
New England association, which have
already been set for May 16 and II.

Obertubbesing Would
Amend A. A. A. Rule

Herman Obertubbesing, the local A.
A. U. official, is sponsor for q pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
Of the Metropolitan Association, which
will empower the president to fill q
vacancy on the registration commit
tee. Obertubbesing has sent his rec
ommendation to Justice Barlow S.
Weeks, chairman of the legislation
committee of the metropolitan Assoei-
alton, who will place the matter before
the members of his committee.
1t was the opinion Of officials that
the amendment would undoubtedly
meet the approval of the delegates
from the clubs of the association when
they meet in annual session. It's sp
prevail would obviate the necessity Of
seeking mail vote or the candidates
for the position, the calling of spe-
cial meeting of the nominating com
mlttee to consider applications and
save much expense for the amateur
body.
