The All-EngrOssing Questi0n-Fresh.j man nAthletics-Informat Bureau T-The President Leaves on the Four teenth.
 Athletics this year are on the boom. If Yale doesn't win more of the games this year than she did last it will not be on ac- count of lack of effort. The people of New Haven, too, are loyally seeking for every scrap of news about the elevens. Captain McClung is overrun by reporters, and annoyed continually by interviews evolved out of the inner consciousness of the writers but accredited to him. If Harvard borrowed from Yale the idea of working persistently and unremittingly, Yale has borrowed from her crimson neighbor the scheme of bringing out every possible bit of material. From yesterday on three fields will be in use simultaneous ly every afternoon-the Varsity and col lege elevens playing on one, freshman eleyens on another and scrub elevens on the third. Saturday, in spite of the heat, some good practicing was done, especially in kicking goals. The men and positions are as follows:
 VARSITY. COLLEGE. F, Wallis, '9a. Left Tackle, Winters, '93, S. Haskell, s92 Left Guard, Wooster '92. l.. s. Paine, '95, Center, Sanford, '94, S. Mills, 'Ss, Right Tackle, ,Messler, 's4 Crosby, '92, Right End, Cox, '9f, s L. Bliss, '9s, s., Half-back, Bliss, '93, S. McClung, '92, Half back, Dyer, '95 Moves, Fullback, Richards, '95 In the second half, Sutphen, '93, and Paine '92, changed places with Wallace and Hartwell, and Dyer '96 and Norton 93, L. | S., were put in as half-back on the Var sity.
 Sanford '95 is hard pushing Paine '95 for l center. While at Hopkins they were rivals | for this position, although Paine played | a capital game yesterday.
 Dyer '95 is no mean antagonist to Bliss for half back. s7lr .-ssss- :' .- ,,-
 Walter Camp 80, H. H. Knapp 'ss and McC1ung have done the coaching. l The first foot ball game of the season will be played here on Wednesday of this week between Yale and Wesleyan, and on Saturday the Crescents will be met by Yale in Brooklyn.
 Freshman athletics is yet incohate. The candidates for the crew are practicing ev- l cry day under the direction of Gould, '92, Ives, '93, and Perkins of last year's fresh | man crew.
 The candidates for the eleven are being coached by H. s. Graves, '92, who has played as substitute quarterback on the Varsity eleven.
 An informal meeting of those interested in cricket was held last night Increased interest is being shown in England's popu lar game; new players are at Yale, and al effort is in progress to make the club $ university organization so as to get some financial aid for grounds, etc. Games vii probably be played at Bridgeport this fal
 with the Bridgeport club, and next year games are again to be arranged for witt
 Harvard.
 A scheme for helping college men tt
 get work has been proposed by MT. Vert
 ner Kennerson, superintendent of tn
 Coop. The plan is analogous to that O.
 an intelligence office. and will be conducted
 at the Coop. MT. Kennerson said: "Th , plan was suggested to me by graduate.
 have matured his idea and feel sure of it
 utility and success. It's particular valu
 will be for freshmen, who are unacquaint
 ed with the town and with the kind 0
 work they might get. I have been prom
 ised the cooperation of number of tn
 townspeople and the faculty are thorough
 ly in sympathy"
 President Dwight leaves for home O
 the 14th. He has been very we'll throug
 the summer and says he had very pleas
 ant time.
