Hating Rival
Unbeaten Blue Crew Set for
Annual Struggle With
Harvard.
By United Press

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June a.
Once more as shadows lengthen on
the placid Thames tomorrow, Yale
will pit smooth, unbeaten varsity
crew against an moderated but
stout-hearted Harvard eight in re-
newewal of rivalry which dates back
to 1852.
On form, Ed Leaders big, easy
running Yale crew should win by a
couple of lengths. In it's spring
schedule of two mile races, the Ellis
have flashed a wealth of class.
Harvard's showing has been spotty
and observers believe Charley
Whiteside's eight could stand an
other week of training.
It's all so reminiscent. The situ-
alton was almost identical in 1881,
1882 and 1888. The record books
show that fighting Harvard crew
crossed the finish line first in each
of the last three races.
Can Harvard repeat-even with
the incentive of its most famous
graduate, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

ton was on the lips of Crimson

The meet has drawn the greatest
array of stars since the 1882 Olym-
pic games, which were run in the
Coliseum where the N. c. A. A.
title will be decided, so the class of
the quarter-mile competition can be
judged.
Hardin Holds Title
First among the 440 men is Glenn
Hardin of Louisiana State, who won
the event in the 1888 meet at Chi
cago in the time of All. He has
done as we'll as 1853 this year. The
recognized worlds record in the
event is Ala, although Big Ben
Eastman of Stanford has 46.4 up
for recognition.
Hardin's competitors include the
five who placed after him in the
1888 N. c. A. A, as we'll as Allan
Blackman, Stanford, the I. C. A. A.
winner in 1888, and James Luvalle,

tons and who nosed out Blackman

"a a. EJctNNAAAceACAOs
The Hoosiers now are only four
games away from the top rung and
have two more chances to clip the
advantage held by Ownie Bush'S
brigade. The teams will battle in
the third of the series tonight at
BIS and on Friday night the finale
will be staged under the lights at
Perry stadium.
"Grotto night" will be celebrated
this evening and there will be
lot of entertainment offered by the
Grotto funmakers and drill team
before game action begins.
Logan Due Tonight
Lefty Bob Logan has been
groomed to hurl for the Indians and
the fans think he has it in him to
make it three straight over the
Bushmen. Southpaws give the Mil
lers plenty of trouble and the home
rooters hope Logan will be just one
more pain in the neck to the Wis
itors
The Tribesmen hoped off to a
one-run lead last night when Dud-
ley Lee doubled as first up in the
initial round and scored on two
successive outs. In the fourth can
to, after two away, Bedore singled,
J. Sherlock followed with a one
base blow and V. Sherlock tailed
Bedore with a safety to right.
Minneapolis knotted the count in
its half of the fifth by scoring
twice, but the Indians drew away
again in their half when Al Butz-
berger singled, Lew walked, Cooney
sacrificed and Butzberger checked
in at the payroll station while Co.
hen was tossing out Cotelle.
Two Tribe Triples
In the sixth, after two down, ".
Sherlock singled, Sprinz walked
and Butzberger slashed single to
center, scoring v. Sherlock. That
brought the Indian run total to
four. Johnny Cooney opened the
Hoosier seventh with triple to
deep left center and tailed on
WaShington's fly after Cotelle was
erased. Fred Bedore also poled a
triple in the seventh, but was left
on base. Fred also got two singles
during the battle.
The Millers fought back in the
eighth, and after getting one man
over the plate with only one out,
Manager Killefer jerked Butzberger
off the mound and sent in Jack
Using. Two Millers were perched
on the sacks when Using entered
the fray and he struck out Norris
and Camel was retired on a fly to
Washington. The Bushmen were
put down in order by Using in the
ninth.
Using Delivers
Young AL Butzberger failed to last
out the nine innings on the Tribe
rubber, but his work was ace high
nevertheless. The Millers are a
pack of vicious clubbers and the
Hoosier youngster was commended
highly for his performance. None
of Chief Killefer's first string hurl-
ers was available, and the task of
facing the Bushmen was assigned
to the rookie Southpaw.
The combination of Butzberger
and Using worked to perfection, the
latter's fast ball sending the league

Harry Holsclaw pitched six
rounds for Minneapolis and dropped
out for a pinch hitter in the sew
enth. Rosy Ryan finished on the
Miller slab and the Indians took
clean delight in touching Rosie for
two triples and one marker in the
seventh.
Attendance last night was about
the same as on Tuesday, but with
the Indians threatening to embar-
rass the Millers again tonight by
using another southpaw chucker, a
boost in the gate count is expected
