"Phibee 585. 4-208 a COLLEGIATE ROWING| Prospects of Rasuming the Yale- CHANCES OF A FIVE-CREW CONTEST Experiments With English Oars and Stroke. ——_s—_— CURRENT SPORTING NOTES So cis A boat race between Yale and Harvard next year i» not as certain as the re-estab- lishment of friendly relations between the students of those institutions would indi- cate. Yale is opposed to entering the four crew race at Poughkeepsie and Harvard is disinclined to row two races. ‘The crim- son crew will, of course, row Cornell, for 4 two years’ agreement was madé to do 50. Yale wants to row on the New London course, the scene of the many victories of the blue, while Harvard is naturally op- posed to rowing at Poughkeepsie and also at New London. A member of the Mar- vard athletic committee says: “It seems very probable at present that a triple race will be rowed by Harvard, Yale and Cornell. It is improbable that Yale will enter the presegt arrangement of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Cornell and Harvard, and the alternative is a dual race with Harvard. Whether Harvard can row two races will depend on Mr. Leh- mann’s decision.” To race at New London the Harvard crew would have to row on two courses at short intervais. Although the differ- ence in the courses is not extreme, yet the crew would have some difficulty in be- coming accustomed to both. If it would be found impracticable, ¥ale will probably give way, and in addition to the quadruple race there will be a dual at Poughkeepsie. Rowing affairs at Yale are still some- what in a state of expectancy. Mr. Cook said that while it is practically settled that Yale and Harvard will come togethe- on the water next year none of the im- portant detatis have yet been arranged. The progress of the relations between Harvard and Yate is being closely watched by the University of Pennsylvania. It is generally felt that no matter what terms are agreed upon between the two colleges there will be a four-cornered race at Poughkeepsie next year, with Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and- Pennsylvania as contestants. Harvard has a friendly feeling for the Quakers, and it is not thought at Pennsyl- vania there is much danger of the Phila- deiphians being dropped by the Cambridge oarsmen. Pennsylvania supporters will be pleased to have the Yale crew enter, and if an invitation will insure their ' acceptance there will be little delay in sending one. The Pennsylvania crew will start row- ing in the tank within a few weeks and Coach Ellis Ward has some first-class ma- terial to work.on. His series of class races has brought out a large number of new men, and these, with members of the old wil give him an abundance of ma- terial from which to select his men. Cornell men are deeply interested in the arrangeinent of races the coming year. The navy management is in favor of a race similar to the successful event of last July. With her double victory of last year Cor- nell is no longer desirous of challenging Yale to a race, but if Yale should desire admission to any race in which Corneli is a contestant the Ithaca boys will be too sportsmanlike to rafse an objection. As President Schurman sald: “All Cor- nell asks is a fair field and no favor.” Walter B. Pect, Columbia’s famous row- ing coach, will probably have control of the Columbia’s crew next spring. Columbia, the winner of the ‘95 race at Poughkeepsie, and the only college in this country that has ever won a boat race abroad, will be glad to have Yale enter the Poughkeepsie Tace. Whether or not Yale and Harvard meet in a boat race much interest will center in the contests in which they will take part next season. Hoth have adopted English methods in rowing to some exten, and there will be curlosity as to their effect. The experiment is bred of disappointment. Harvard had an exceptionally fine eight last year, and its defeat by Cornell was a severe blow. e fecling spread that If, with such a crew, defeat cai the cause was the system of rowng ibe crew. reupon it was decided to se- cure an Engiish coach and adopt methods. Lehmann, the English we was secured, and ‘he has been coaching Harvard's men, introducing more body swing and shorter slide. Narrower and longer oars have ti adopter, but tre men siill sit {na line over the center, as in American boats. A testi was recentiy made at Cambridge of the progress made under Ceach Lehmann’s instruction, although he is said to have been highl sed, the result cannot be said to indi a race of a mile and seven-eightis one crew defeated the other about a iengt . this was ascribed to the nglish stroke, but it might as well be ribed to the ysique of the winners. Bob Cook of Yale watched the race be- tween the two Harvard crews, in company with Mr. Lehmann, and was given every opportunity to see the first results of the Bnglish coaching. Mr. Cook believes that his stroke and the broad American oars defeated Yale at Henley and is lengthening the Yale stroke in consequence. Mr. Peet, the Columbia coach, does not regard the defeat of Cornell and Yale by English crews coaclusive proof of the superiority of English rowing methods. He remembers that Columbia's four at Henley in 1878 won the cup for college fours, de- feating alt rivals. The Poughkeepsie course is commended by many ayuatic authorities, and is hig! spoken of by the crews which. have over it. To obtain a report on tts merits Mr. Harris 8. Reynolds recently wrote to Mr. Lehmann agking him to vi Pough- keepste uni go over the course. Mr. Leh- mann repited that his engagements in Eng-- land made it necessary for him to return to that cowntry, but that he would come to Poughkeepsie in the spring. sia The Hudson has demonstrated its supert- ority in the points of smooth water, a straight, sheltered course and unequaled factitttes for 2 four-mile aquatic contest from start to finish, and fs likely to be the scene of next year’s regatta. CARROLLS WON BOTH. Two Games Bowled With the Wash- iugton Athletic Club Team. The Carroll Institute and Washington Athletic Club teams bowled a set of games on the alleys of the former last night and the Carrolls won both games. The first game was poorly bowled, but exciting. “In the second game the Carrols bowled in great form and won by the margin of 123 pins. Rice made the difficult spare of 3—7—-10. Carroll Institute.

The second round in the tournament at the Washington Chess Club, 614 12th street, clesed Saturday evening, with Messrs. Wright, Dunham and O'Farrell tied for first place and Tharp foerth. Wright tried a French defense against Harris, and won by superior end-game play after fifty moves. Dunham defended a Ruy Lopez opening against Hanna, who did not make anything out of the opening, and lost a piece by a blunder on the nineteenth move. Then Mr. Hanna played splendidly and threatened a mate, to prevent which his opponent lost two pawns. The advantage of the piece was too much to overcome, however, ard by a pretty combination, Mr. Dunham forced the game in forty moves. Mr. Tharp caught Mr. Tucker in a Petroff defense trap, and won in short order. Wednesday evening last Harris won a well-played game from Tibbetts, who play- ed a French defense, in sixty-two moves. The following is the present standing cf the players: Duuham . O'Farrell Wright ‘Tharp . Harris Hanna, z Tonight Messrs. Dunham and O'Farrell, Wright and Tibbetts, Gwyer and Tharp, and Thomas and Hanna will try conclu- sions. After an adjournment of a week, the Lasker-Steinitz. match was resumed, the two games following the resumption of play being drawn. The present score i Lasker, 5; Steinitz, 0; drawn, 3. ‘The gatne that attracted most attencion at the Chess Club the past week was ‘that played between Dunhain and Hanna.

Auother game has been completed in the individual match tourney, commenced last wirter, at the Chess Club. As will be re- membered, Messrs. K. P. Hanna and F. B. Walker won first and secord prizes, re- spectively. Messrs. L. Tharp and E. A. Tibbetts are still contesting for third prize, the score between them standing 4 fo 3 in favor of Tharp and two draws. One of ike games played between them was drawn after about 130 moves. Mr. Tibbetts lost a piece early in the last game played and re- signed shortly thereafter.

The players are practicing this week, and will probably begin playing in the tournament by another week. Mr. James E. Macfarland has returned from the west, where he spent several montks. He tells a good story on himself. He says that at one of the western towns he came across some chess players, and having beaten one, an onlooker desired a game. The request, of course, was granted, and much to “Mac's” surprise he was un- able to make headway against his oppo- rent and had to acgept defeat. He fs a good player who can muke Mac surrender.

The Capital Bicycle Club whist team was defeated, as already published in The Star, Saturday by the celebrated Hamiltons at Philadelphia by 2% to 1# The C. BI. C. finally decided to play a Substitute on the team rather than let the match go by de- fault.’ Mr. Harry Lowavas detained by business and Mr. Fogg 199k his place. Mr. ) Fogg ig not a short sulter, like the other mcinbers of the ‘team, Messrs. Cart, Bar- rick and Quackenbudl. Tiiis’ may have affected the result, bat, ltdid not lose the match, One of the cther members was out | both teams upened of condition, and did nét Fame! Alt the: memberieet the teim can see where tricks weré lost, and each bears his share in the defeat. | “ The sbort suiters dg: not admit that the defeat was due to the system adopted, in which they have complete confidence, ‘but to their poor playing. In several. hands, it 1s claimed, had/they taken -advantage of thelr opportunities, one- or more - tricks would have been gained on each deal. The C. Bi. C. lost four tricks on one deal. They led a short suit card, the Ham- iltons the long suit. The short suit lead established the cpporents’ suit, in which they made five triogs. The result was not, however, entirely due to the lead, for two if not three tricks were lost by poor play- ing. In opening twenty deals of the match the same card; in twelve deals the same suit was opened, but not the.same card, and In sixteen deals a different suit was opened. In the sixteen deals in wnich different suits*were led the Hamiltons made gains of ten, the C. Bi. C. or six. The Weshington team is confident it could ngVe Won the match had the team played as good whist as when it met the Hamiltons last year. According to a mem- ber of the club, the teati 1s at playing as good whist as it did last winte:. _ This difference is attributed to the fact that the team has adopted an extreme short suit system,and there fs not that understanding of the play that was formerly the case when supporting cards were led, and long sults were played where there was pros- pect of establishing and bringing them in. The short suit system may be said to be in an expecimental stage, and until its ex- ponents have been taught what is advisable under certam conditiwn8, and the members of the teams playing that s;‘stem thorough- jy understand each other, whicn is the case with long sult teams, it cannot be put! factorily determined ‘which ts the better method. It would appear at present, how- ever, in view of the deféat of the short suit teams, New York, Cranford and C. Bi. C., by the Narragansetts, Mrs. Newbold’s and the Hamiltons, that the long sult system has first Glaim to popular favor. ‘The following is the deal on which the Washington team lost four tricks.

Unless the unexpected happens “Teddy” Hale will win first prize, smash all previous recerds and become king of the lorg-dis- tance riders. Glick, who covered exactly three miles and six laps from midnigat to 10 o'clock, led what the trainers call a funeral pro- cession during the morning. In his wake were Pierce and Taylor, who are separated by only a few miles for seventh place. Schock, who also seemed all played-out, was a part of the cortege. Somebody pri sented the “major” with a wreath of im- mertelies bearing the legend “Gone, but Lot forgotten.” Hale shows signs of breaking up, and there is no doubt that another twenty- four hours would pui lim out altogether. His face has sunken away till his cheek bones stick out and his complexion is ) like putty, and he works his pedals with apparent effort. His limbs are stiff and he is saddle-sore.

Though there were only three games of basket ball the past week, there has been quite a change in the standing of the clubs. The Eastern Athletic Club lost its first game of the season during the week, which, by the way, was a whitewash, and fell back to second place. The Carroll In- stitute team won one game and moved a notch nearer the top. The relative positions of the last three clubs has not changed. The Washington Athletic Club team did rot play a game, but the Corcoran Cadets and the Queer Wheelmen teams each lost a game, leaving them stand as they did last week, only with a lowered percentage. The playing of the league clubs is now marked with a briskness and cleanness that is only permissible under the new rules. The players are now as familiar with the new rules a# it is possible for j them to be, and their playing is something never thought of. Scientific movements have been introduced, and the range of throw for a try at goal is unlimited. Dur- | ing the week Capt. Joe Daly of the Carroll Institute distinguished himself by making six goals in one game, and most all of the throws Were quite difficult, some being from near the center of the floor. This record was equaled by McUabe of the Light : fantry during the week, who succeeded in i making the same number of goals in one | SSSSOG6000 game, under almost as adverse circum- stances. The difference between the throw- ing this year and last year is particularly noticeable, and the attempts at goal now made were hardly thought of last season. The playing of the clubs is fast and furi- ous. The Infantry team will endeavor to Reep up their record of last year and go through the season without a defeat. So far they have succeeded in winning all of their games, but it fs an uncertainty that will continue through the season in the Sam@ way. The Carrolls are in fine play- ing form, and will probably give a hard tussle for the championship. The Eastern Athletic Club team is also putting up an excellent game, and the contest for the championship will undoubtedly lie between ee beg e first sertes of the schedule will be finished by the end of the month. There is only one game to be played néxt week, and that between the Eastern Athletic Club and the Light Infantry team on Saturday even- ing. The game whitch was scheduled for next Wednesday eveni Wheelmen and the C ed wnt i With the’ game. for, Wetnesds arate December 28, Between the Carrolié and the ‘Washi fon Athletic Chub, will the seties, is #8 follows: ete Standing of the ctubs @ @ @S @ @ © @ ® S 3) 6 SSSEG0O09 Pope Mfg.
