The faculty committee on athletics at Columbia
has created a commotion among the members OF
the varsity basketball team by refusing to sane
tion i've of their games arranged with out of town
college teams Two trips had been arranged by the
team one to include ehigh and Lafayette. and the
other Williams, Brown, Wilston and Rensselaer,
Polytechnic Institute. The four last named con-
tests had to be abandoned because of the asser-
ton by the faculty that many trips In addi-
ton to the Journeys necessary for the college
cha ampionship games would make the players too
long absent from college. This decision of the
faculty has embarrassed the basketball team inan-
ciaIy and in its sportsmanlike relations with the
four colleges with which games had been arranged
Columbia last year was forced to cancel a game
with Williams for the same reason so that the
team especially deplores the fact that Williams
must be dropped from the schedule again this sea
son The faculty has also made another decision
that Columbia cannot play Syracuse on its way
uu State for the purpose of playing Cornell.

fifteenth move. L. Hull cleverly piece from
Bisseu and forced matters to climax after thirty
three moves. 4 most important game, between the
leaders of Yale and Princeton. Sawin and Rich
ardson took unexpected turn. Sawin had OBJ
tained winning advantage. but failed to select
the right continuation and Richardson won with
the odd pawn after forty-one moves.
Meanwhile, n. Hull and Pigram had come TO a
drawn position, and after ffty-one moves honors
Barshell demonstrated his superiority
over Carr, building UP hard attack to which
Carr succumbed after thirty-seven moves, although
he might have won much more Quickly The chief
was extremely Interesting Rice eventually gave
up the queen for two rocks and after forty-nine
moves the game adjourned to be adjudicated
by the referee this afternoon. At first Keeer had
