The varsity andfreshman crews are training hard for the Poughkeepsie regatta. The prospectsdo not seem as favorable as were anticipated early in the season. However,Coach Goodwin is far from discouraged and believes that the blue andwhite will be well to the front at Poughkeepsie. The matter which is puzzlingboth the captain and the coach is the development of a suitable stroke.Bro. Maeder, *04, C, has been stroking the boat for some time, but has nowgiven way to Bro. Miller,'o6, S., who rowed number seven in last year'sfreshman crew. Before a final selection is made, however, it is probablethat Coach Goodwin will try out every man in the first boat. Bro. Updike,'04 C, will probably resume his old place as stroke of the varsity four. Inthe freshman boat, * A 0 is represented by Bro. L. Clapp, and Bro. G.Norris.Bro. C. Gantert,'o6, C, has been elected manager of the hockey team fornext year, with Bro. G. Norris, '07, C, as his assistant. Bro. Norris wasmanager of his class team.Bro. W. Benham,'05, S., who was elected captain of next year's gym.• team, has entered for the chainpionship od parallel bars to be held at the St.Louis exposition during the summer. In his freshman year he easily capturedthe intercollegiate championship for parallel bars, and will undoubtedlymake a strong bid for first honors in the coming event.New York, May 15, 1904. JOHN L. TONNELS.NEW YORK EPSILON, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.Examinations in all departments will begin about one week earlier thanusual. In the liberal arts they will begin May 20. The university is inevery way prosperous. Preparations have been made for a-successful summerschool. Haven Hall is fast nearing completion and will be a valuableaddition to Chancellor Day's work for the institution. The Chancellor isnow attending the Methodist general conference at Los Angeles.At present much interest is being manifested in an interfraternity baseballleague consisting of AKE, AT, # K *, B 9 II and * A 6. We standa very good show of winning the pennant. The varsity had a very successfulsouthern trip, winning 10 out of 13 games.The chapter is in excellent condition. We have pledged two men whowill enter college next fall, also an '06, Henry Dexter, of Newport. AllPhis are earnestly requested to inform the chapter of any desirable men whomay be coming to Syracuse. Communications ' may be sent to Edwin R.Millen, 602 Crouse avenue.The results of the Cornell-Syracuse track meet, 82^ to 32^, showedthat either there is a lack of interest in tj-ack work, or that we need a changein om- system of training. At Philadelphia we took first place in class A ofthe mile relay. Phi Delta Theta was represented by Bros. Ralph and Twombley.These two, together with Bros, Terry and Robertson, will try for aPhi Delta Theta mile record.H. D.
