The freshman class. which takes hold OF the
Boys' club under the auspices OF the Young Men 5
Christian Association after Christmas, will run +,
according 20 tho group system" now so com.
monty IN vogue In boys clubs. The advantage OF
tn" system is that Il brings about closer contact
between teachers and scholars
Professor Theodore s. Woolsey. as n member OF
the committee in charge OF tho Yale Field has
written an earnest appeal in The Yale Alumni
Weekly for funds with which to grade and add
more ground 10 the Field. As things are the new
stands about the football neld have entirely obt-
Grated the freshman diamond, and. there is no
adequate room for another diamond on the present
field. an addition seems necessary. Professor Wool
sey pleads strongly on the ground that Yae's ath-
!c;ic policy Is ons OF general athletics for all STU
dents. Instead OF the mere development OF crack
varsity teams. and he makes clear that TO the
former end more land Is necessary which to
play.
