OLD Eli APPROVES OF
PENN'S BASEBALL MOVE
Favors Cutting Off Games
With Georgetown.

NEW HAVEN. Jan. 50.-The move
made by the University Of Pennsylvania
in cutting off her baseball schedules in
the future all games with Georgetown.
Holy Cross. FoTdham. and ViIlanova is
heartily approved of at Yale. and there
is cutie a sentiment here IN favor OF
Yale's following the same course for the
same reason-the questionable standing
as amateurs of the players of the above
colleges. The fact thar Yale's policy is
10 regard these games and those with
Amherst, Lafayette, and other minor col
leges as simply practice contests may
prove the deciding factor in inducing
Yale to keep the four colleges named
On her schedule
Yale has never troubled herself about
the amateurship Of the players Of her
opponents in practice games, but has
made the baseball managers vince at
times to read sober articles in newspa-
pers Of some prominence figuring
Georgetown OF possibly Holy Cross. Is
the intercollegiate baseball champions.
The fact that such views have never pre-
vailed, no matter how large q percentage
OF games ud5 DCCl WOu UG lUtSC COL
leges, has led the Yale managers to be
lieve that it is not yet necessary TO dis
pense with games with these teams OF
insist that amaueurship eligibility Tul -
be regarded by them.
Last year Manhattan College came
here. captained by a player who hac
caught for the New Haven State League
team the previous season Three OF the
ViI1anova players of last year have
drawn Connecticut State League saIar-
les, as have two members of the Holy
Cross team of the previous season.
Georgetown players have also worn tho
state League uniform.
As long as the public VIII continue to
think that the result of a YaIe-H HOLY
Cross game has nothing TO do with the
American intercollegiate amateur cham
pionship. but is played between two
mines with. completely diverse standards
o. eligibility. there viii probably be no
change in the custom of an annual Yale
