I The title for erratic play must be awarded to the Giants beyond any ball club of the last twenty years. Ob- serve the three sectlons of their 1916 campaign: i April 12 to May 8—Wan 2 and lost 13; percentage, .133. May 8 to June 2—Won 19 and lost 2; percentage ¢ June 2 to 6—Won 9 and lost 19; percentage, .321. Here is a shift from .133 to .905 and from .905 back to .321, each in- volving considerable periods af play.

New Haven, July 7.—In an inter- view published yesterday Guy Nick- alls, the Yale rowing coach, concedes that hi crew was beaten by 3 ard eight at New Lon- don recently, but he biames the de- feat of his freshmen on the poor pa- trolling of the course. Speaking of the varsity race Nickall “In the varsity race Y fair- ly and squarely beaten by a superior Harvard crew. .If it had not been for the Yalle coxswain running his . crew on the flag post Yale would have beaten the record. But it was no dis- grace to be beaten by Harvard, and congratulations are due Mr. Herrick. “Like all American coaches who have’ visited England he profited by the lessons learned there.
