ball.

Yale's new pitcher. Donald F. Mac
Kay. the leading candidate for the Yale
pitchers box this season, is confronted
by two choices. which. so far as is
known, a Yale athlete never faced be-
fore. MacKay has only one more year
in intercollegiate athletics, for he pitch
ed for the Georgetown College team in
Washington for three seasons.
He is a star football as well as base
ball player. and while in Georgetown
was for two years the All-American
tackle among Southern college teams
II he plays baseball the coming spring
he Will be ineligible for Yale athletics
IN the future. having used up his four
years on college teams. MacKay Is
eager to have his fourth and last year

baseball work

May Refuse to Wait.

Some Of his friends have urged him to
wait another season before he becomes
a candidate for the Yale nine and the
eleven. In that way he would have
chance to play football next fall and
baseball the coming spring. as both are
included in the college year, and net
take part f. any athletics this year.
MacKay Is inclined to think that a
bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush. for he has begun training for the
Yale nine for the coming season and
expects to be on the corps Of pitchers
throughout the season. By his choice
he misses a full season or football. He
throws a sDcedier ball than any Yale
pitcher since Dutch Carriers day and his
friends believe that he viii develop into
an lntercOllegiate star this season.
