At any rate, Hubbell raises fish
Rocky Mountain trout, the kind
that Just melts in ones mouth
when fresh and fried in butter. He
raises them as one might raise
chickens or corn.
Out on his Colorado fish ranch
HubbeIi has q network Of mountain
streams in which he brings the
trout up from bAbyhood. He feeds

each and every fish ny first name
Then there comes a day when
Wilbur destroys the faith which
every trout has In human nature.
He sneal1s up behind them, cOrrHis

Gets Single, Walk
And Strikes Out,
Once AT Bat

Bogart, Of the New Orleans
.PeIicans," once made 3 single,
received q base on balls, and
was called out on strikes, all IN
the same. time at bat. All Of
this happened in q Southern
League game several years ago.
First, Bogart struck out, but
he kicked so successfully to the
umpire that only two strikes
had been called on him that the
umpire let him bat again.
This time he got ball, and
the 'eumps" waved him to first.
Now it was the Atlanta players
turn to argue, and they finally
persuaded the tickle arbitrator
that only three balls had been
called. So "Bo" got 9 third
chance, singled, and later
scored.

The light, sprinting crew Of Penns
sylyania, strictly veteran and very
gifted at the distance. has been
selected as the crew that will beat
yale after eleven consecutive tri-
umphs, including q victory over the
worlds greatest Fights at the oiym-
pic games.
A premonition of what may be in
store for him is said to have
prompted Leader to REQUEST 9
change In the distance from / 5-16
10 IL miles, a request that was
Granted. The difference is only q
frifle over 800 yards but It may
rnean the difference between defeat
and victory for Yale.
Ideal rowing weather. II such
there be, graced the occasion,
fhe day being mild, clear, calm
and altogether fOOlprOOf.
Yale will go to the mark with
only three men who rowed In the
boat that won the Olympic title on
the Seine, and hence, feared the
worst. 1t started the year with q
strong combination UP forward with
the veterans Lindley, stroke; Spock.
No. Z, and Kingsbury, No. s, sup
plemented by Captain Wilson at
No. 3, but Lindley lost the popular
decision to the faculty and had to
he replaced by Mclaughlin, No. 2
in the freshman boat last year.
Rowing men regard green stroke
as they would q stick Of dynamite
--likalv to blow M when the sitl1a-
ton becomes warm. In point of
big race experience. Mclaughlin is
nothing IL not green. On his per-
forniances today will rest Yale's
chances OF future success or failure,
since adequate stroke oars are not
to be had seven days q week.
Leader himself claims to have
| mo Illusions about the immunity
| Of YaIe's winning streak. In
pre.racO interview today, rela-
| live 20 the general tendency to
rate the Ell on the basis Of its
Olympic performance he said:
people seem to forget that oars.
men are graduated from college
from time to time and that the
eligibility code often hobs up to
deprive crew Of its assets. Such
| q man was Lind1ey, recently barred
by the faculty.
AT the moment, see no basis
| for the oft-repeated claim that the
present Yale eight is a better crew
| than that Of last year. Frankly, ]
do not know how formidable a
combination the 1925 Yale crew will
| prove"
