HARVARD TO PLAY PRINCETON
Old Scores Patched Up and Game
Will Be on Tigers Grounds.

Princeton, N. J., Dec. -17.--After a
breach in athletic affairs since 1900,
Princeton and Harvard have finally set
tied their difficulties to the satisfaction
of faculties and undergraduates of both
universities At least Princeton is salts
fed and it is probable that the feeling at
Cambridge is much the same.
One baseball game between the
schools has been arranged to be played
at Princeton June Ii, 1902. No game
viii be played at Cambridge. The base
ball breach between Harvard and
Princeton was caused by a controversy
which arose after the second game in
1900 Princeton wanted to play a third
game to determine the championship,
each team having taken one. Harvard
refused
In the fall of 1900, when arrange
ments were to be made for next years
games, Princeton required a third game
in case of tie, to be played on neutral
grounds Harvard's faculty refused.
Neither management would give in and
the games had to be called OFF alto
gether.
This year Princeton would have liked
three games, but is well satisfied with
the agreement as it is now, since here
can be no question of championship
when only one game is played. The
undergraduates are very much pleased
with the conciiiatory spirit of Harvard
agreeing to play the game this year on
Princeton's grounds.
A r. T. Hillebrand has been engaged
as head coach for the 1902 baseball
team. He coached last year, and was
very successful

was scratched in the Kentucky Derby
because his owner, Captain Sam Brown.
of Pittsburg. did not think him good
enough to win that coveted event. An
other reason was that he wished to save
him for the American; and, as every
follower of the turf will remember, the
colt after a burst OF speed at Haw-
thorne in a trial preparatory to the
American, broke a blood vessel, causing
what was feared at the time his per-
manent retirement from the turf.
The colt was shipped to Louisville
and given a long rest, and not until
Ia tie in the season did Trainer Tucker
give him any work, which he has taken
with such good grace, however. that he
is now pronounced perfect, physically,
and in full possession of the speed he
had when Charles Head Smith, of Chi
sage sold him to his present owner.

JOhu Seaton Bitterly Opposed
to Carnegie Gift.

Capt. John Seaton. of Atchison. the
resentatives. is violently opposed to the
offer of 100000 worth of steel trust
stock for a national university. He
sent this message to Congressman
Curtis Saturday:
Let congress accept the donation

party might well quit
Then he followed the telegram with
still stronger letter.
In an interview on the subject Cap
tain Seaton said:
AS l read the dispatches telling of
Mr.. Carnegie's offer to endow national
university, the government is given $10,
900, 900 to hold IN trust 1t is my under
standing that the money is to be given
in stock. The gift is masked. 1t Is
cloaked as benefice to hide an attempt
to pollute the general government, pos
would strike high. 1t is not aimed at
individuals, not at congress- nor at con-
gressmen, but it would put a binding
force on the whole governmental policy.
It seems very like an indirect attempt
to bride the national government in its
entirety.
with this immense fund on its hands
to endow and pay for the running of
the proposed institution of learning, the
government accepts a trust. It becomes
guardian of the funds and has all the
responsibilities of guardianship, not only
to disburse but to maintain the integ-
rity of the fund. In other words, it
would be to the interest of the guardian
to maintain the value of the stock at
it's highest level. That in itself would
create sufficient interest in the trust to
