eight to showing up well under it's new
status and the rowing director antici-
pates keen competition between the two
first crews before the opening of the
rowing season. Trials for the selection
of the crew which will enter the initial

Track Prospects Bright.
After the showing of the Black and
Orange track and field men at Char
lottesville a week ago Saturday, when
Princeton took S5 1-3 points to Vir-
ginia's 21 2-3. and Johns-Hopkins 10.
prospects are bright for the impending
Penn relays. The drawings for the
pole in the championship events at the
relay carnival, the 2Sth and 29th, gave
Princeton the inside of the track in the
one mile relay. and second place in the
two mile, while in the other events the
Tigers are we'll out towards the ropes.
Steady practice all winter and spring
under the direction of Coach Keene
Fitzpatrick. is beginning to tell in the
condition of the men, and the coach
reports all of his charges In top shape
for this second contest. Capt. Bill
Stevenson, national A. A. U. champion
in the quarter mile, will be one OF the
Tigers main reliances in the longer
~prints. while McI<im and Taylor are
counted on to take care of the hundreds
and two-twenties. In the distance runs
Conger and Curtiss, who captured firsts
in the mile and two mile In the Southern
meet, are the best entries for the
Tigers.
Coach AL Mes bids fair to bring
forth his third championship team this
year in the Orange and Black lacrosse
twelve. After romping over New York
University to the tune of to Q. and
Cornell IL to 1, the players of the
Indian game brought in their latest VIC
tory In that over Harvard last Tues
day. In the first half the teams ap-
peared evenly matched, but the Tigers
came to with a bang and Gagged seven
of their nine goals I'm the last twenty
five minutes. Capt. Stinson, of football
and swimming fame. and Ollie Dit
mar are welding wicked racquets. ac-
counting for far more than their share
OF work. and scoring in every game.
The Princeton varsity golf season has
the rosiest outlook In years due to a
wealth OF unusual material Ruddy
Knepper has bids to fame In the fact
that last year he was the Iowa State
champion, was runner-up in the West
ern amateur championships to Chick
Evans. and a serious contender for the
national amateur laurels. where he nm
ished among the first eight. Capt
wintringer Is not far behind the star
in skill. being runner-up to Knepper in
the university tournament last fall, IN
which the latter won by one hole and
that only after sinking twenty foot
putt on the last green. Caruth and
Sparkle. members OF last. years varsity,
while not of the caliber of the two
first men. are usually able to get
around the course in anywhere from
two to four above par.
In addition to Waddy MacPhee's cleo
ton. many other captains and man
ayers have been chosen during the last
week for next years teams. Bill Pow
ers has been elected to lead the uni
versity swimmers next winter. Dave
Sheldon the gym team and AL Wilson
