PRINCETON SEEKS
SUCCESSOR TO LEH
Ranks of Rowing Candidates
Searched for Another Great
Stroke Oar.

| PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 2s.-Although
cold winds sweep across Princeton and
winter sports are seemingly firmly In
trenched. the first sign Of spring came
yesterday when Captain Tommy McNa-
mara issued call for battery candidates
for the baseball team. Another less
noticeable indication is the hard work
which all crews are getting on the gym
nasium machines these days, where DR..
j. Duncan Spaeth is whipping his men
into shape.
The baseball squad, confronted with
an unusually long schedule which starts
early, Is soon due to get under way.
| Practices will be held in the cage, where
space must also be granted to Coach
keene Fitzpatrick's track aspirants.
lhe only pitchers in sight as yet are JEFF
ferries. a letter man, and Doe Thomas,
! relief twirler from last years nine
The Freshman nine will send It's quota
Of material, from which must be de-
veloped at least one reliable moundman.
There is not such a. dearth of catchers.
although Captain Fisher of the 1921 nine
has been graduated. leaving his place
vacant. The two most prominent can
didates are Bob Stinson, first substitute
last spring, and Lew Clarke OF the
freshmen. of whom great things are ex-
pccted. Clarke is the son OF Coach BIT
Clarke. For the infield there will be four
letter men: MacPhee, Berg, GotschalS
and Gilroy. Captain Mcnamara Cor
man and Botting will be veterans for
| the outfield.
Crew practice these days is the scene
of an anxious search for a successor
i A. III II - r. To
! trying out every man who looks at ali
able to hold the Job, but as yet no par
ticular success has been mad. Morgan
and ex-Captain Cresswell, both veterans.
have not made q strong impression.
Just now the job seems to lie between
Piric, stroke OF last years freshmen.
and John Wright, stroke of the 1923
freshmen. Nothing is certain, however,
for since the rapid rise OF Leh from an
unknown to the brilliant stroke OF last
years great crow DR.. Spaeth believes
in searching tho byways. Any man
is welcome to try his hand at stroke
provided he thinks that he has aualifl-
cations. The remainder Of the varsity
is seated as follows. Milne, z; j. SIN
claire. 6; Newlin, s; Morgan, 4; Page
3: Jones, 9; Iredell, bow. All are
seniors.
The daily workouts at present are
strenuous. as during the approaching
examination period work will have 10
stop. It will be resumed In mid-Febru-
ary and become intensive to get the men
in first class shape for the time when
Lake Carnegie Is clear of ice once more

Princeton's basketball quintet. now
tied with Penn for leading honors In the
Intercollegiate League. Is in n favorable
position. Victories have been won over
Dartmouth and Columbia. The former
has defeated Yale and the latter won
from Cornell, so that Penn's strong
combination alone appears to stand be-
tween the Tigers and n championship.
II is a young team. three of the men be-
Ing suphomores and one a Junior. Coach
Hill Zahn's system OF play has pro-
duced satisfactory results thus far. all
though the men are not shooting too

edy this defect and put the players in
shape to meet their remaining league OPP
ponents.
The water polo sextet Is but doing
what was expected as 1t walks easily

pr.sed even Coach Frank Sullivan. Yale
and Penn are the two rivals from whom
the real opposition is expected and who
Coach Sullivan has predicted will lead
Princeton.
Other winter sports are also in full
operation. The wrestling team has made
none too good showing to date, due in
part to injuries and absence from the
lineup of Capt. Morrison, Intercollegiate
titleholder In his class, and other veter-
ans. The indoor track season Is well
under way, Tiger entries having cap
