New HAvES. Feb. o3.-The bond Of athletic
friendship between Yale and Princeton seems
to be growing stronger year by year, and this
year Yale, at her own suggestion, enters new
field in competition with her old rival Next
Wednesday evening the Rymnastlo clubs OF
Yale and Princeton will meet In tho new Yale
gymnasium and try conclusions for honors.
This is said to be tho first meeting OF its kind
ever held in this country which is of purely
intercollegiate interest. In the selection of
Princeton as an opponent Yale perhaps has
some feeling. but IL is not shown openly by the
undergraduates interested in the success of the
meeting. Naturally Yale would turn to Harvard
in seeking further conqucsts In athletics, but
the football controversy has made many bitter
enemies OF Harvard among Yale men. both in
tho ranks OF graduates and undergraduates.
Hence there may be little OF tho spirit Of re-
venge in the selection Of Princeton as rival in
tho field OF gymnastic honors. 1t certainly
shows whatever may be the motive. that Yale
is progressive and is not combining her athletic
fact there seems to be moving spirit in the
university which looks toward some branch OF
athletics which will interest and attract all tho
students In the college.
Tho presence of the new gymnasium appears
to have opened up this field, and there are now
IN the college outside Of members and substi-
tutcs Of the regular teams about 600 young
men who are intensely interested in what is
termed by DIR. W. g. Anderson and his brother,
H. $. Anderson the instructors at Yale, as
body building. At Princeton this method OF
athletic training has been in practice for sew
eral years and theme they have an organization.
The Yale Gymnasium Association was organ
lied in November. 1893. An interest was at
once created and system of training instituted
which met the fancy of the students. After
two years of work the Yale association looked
around for competitor among the other Ameri-
can universities, and found in Princeton rival
Princeton was invited to send team OF gym
nasts to New Haven, and the exhibition will
take place next Wednesday evening.

In this contest there will he no prizes but it was
instituted by Yale in the hope, Of organizing
permanent association between Yale and Prince

not be pushed until the snow melts and makes |

Capt. Hickok OF the athletic association has
about one hundred men In training. Although |
Yale was beaten by oxford, the fact that she |
sent a team abroad acts as stimulus TO many
men in the college who take little interest in
rack athletics. and IL would not be surprising IL |
Yale soon sent another team. There Is some
ak OF this, but II has not yet assumed definite
ornl. Hickok is strongly In favor OF interna-
onal contests but he will not commit himself
IN the point as to whether IL is better that the
cam sent out should represent all Of the Amer
can colleges. and thus the intercollegiate Ath-
etc Association, or that each college act inde-
and individually.
The recent move of the Harvard faculty in
,eGard to football rather startled Yale men at
irst The undergraduates were frightened, and
he faculty seem about evenly divided on the
question. Many of the older members of the
i ale faculty are opposed tn athletics when car
led on as they are at present, but the younger
members favor them and IL Is not probable that
/ ale will take any action in the matter. Mem
lers Of the faculty decline TO discuss the Har-
'Rrd situation. and intimate that IL is not their
business what the powers at Harvard do in ath-
