YALR,s OPPORTUNITY.

AGSS ON Ok1 CfNA
If there is any big school that has more
athletics on its brain than Yale 1t is
Princeton. And If the craze has been any
where more encouraged by the bosses of q
big school than by the bosses of Yale 1t is
at Princeton. But it appears that the
limit has been reached at Princeton.
President Patton said so the other day at
ST. Louis, when and whore he declared
that the athletic crazs had gone far
enough. And he gave q reason for his
opinion when he said that while the fact
that athletics tend to improve the morals
of q college when properly conducted is
recognized by the faculties of the eastern
universities, 1t is also fact that in the
fierce intercollegiate contests there is re-
quired degree of proficiency that cannot
be attained without constant practice.
Consequently 1t is impossible to sxoel In
studies and at the same time be q member
of the football or baseball team. Pnsi-
dent Patton added that at his school they
are limiting the number of excuses that
they accept for absence from classes.
So the bosses of two of the big schools
Harvard and Princeton-hsve come to the
conclusion that too much attention can be
paid to athletios In an institution whose
main purpose is supposed to be literary,
and that too much time can be taken from
study and applied to baseball, football and
rowing. If they mean this and act ao-
eordingly Yale will soon have "walk-
over" in any intercollegiate contest in
which che may take part. Shs cannot
afford to follow any example set by such
schools as Harvard and Princeton, and she
does think great deal of being at the
head in all displeys of physical strength
and skill. If Harvard and Princeton are
going to make the course in athletics of less
importance than 1t has been Yale will have
q continuous and uninterrupted cinoh.

Is It possible that the State baseball
league really means to- break Sunday and
the law and offend t'de moral sense of the
people Of Connecticut by playing games on
the holy dsyi il so the sooner the people
who care for tns good morals and the good
name of the State wake up the better.
Connecticut is not what 1t might be, but 1t
is to I've hoped that It hasn't yet sunk
to Sunday baseball, with the accompani-
ments thereof. And If there Is
any attempt to establish 1t here
It should be promptly and
thoroughly resisted. Sunday baseball
may not seem very much out of place in
such cities as Chicago, st. Louis or New
Orleans, but 1t is not oongruous in such
cities as New Haven or Hartford. 1t
should be squelohed even If Its squelching
should require q revival of the old blue
laws. New Haven has advanced quite far

Designers are ever on the lookout for

how original 1t was, or how taking 1t

that the most successful designers are
