...Freshman nine will play their first game with the Yale Freshmen to-morrow afternoon on Jarvis. As the Freshman annuals begin the following Monday, the second game in the series will probably not be played till after Class...
...Spring races at Yale took place on Wednesday afternoon. The single-scull race was won by Kennedy of the University crew in 15 minutes 21 1/4 seconds. Kennedy will pull in the single-scull race at Saratoga. The six-oared race was won by a crew from the Law School in 13.09, the Freshmen coming in second in 13.16, and the Junior class crew, with Cook and two other members of the University crew, 6 seconds later. The seat of the bow oar in the last crew came off its runners at the start, delaying the crew. Distance in both...
...start was pretty fair, and none tried too hard for the lead. Matthews rolled badly, and showed neither uniformity nor individual good rowing. None of the crews "sat" their boat well, but there was some very clean and precise rowing, for second crews, in the other three boats. The steering of the Holworthy and Weld coxswains was remarkably good, up the course especially, both crews leaving a perfectly straight path behind them, while the wakes of Matthews, and more particularly of Holyoke, showed by their many crooks the excitement and want of practice of the hands that held the tiller...
...rowing was, or the whole, a great improvement on that of previous second crews, showing more skill and practice together. The Weld Four "caught" very well together on the beginning, but did not row the stroke well through. Almost every one on the second crews feathered under water, and some went so far as to sliver the stroke. The feather, though itself not giving speed to the boat, is yet one of the most important parts of the stroke; for not only is a bad feather likely to retard the boat and waste strength by catching...
...ninth innings. For the New Havens, the pitcher had a puzzling way of jerking the first two balls over the heads of both striker and catcher, and then of letting the third one come swiftly towards the striker, and dropping when near the base. Geer played well on second. Duff did the heavy batting and seemed at home on third. During the game Hooper struck hard for centre field, where it was dropped by McKelney, but very neatly caught by Tipper before reaching the ground. The score will give all further particulars...
