FINE HARMONY at YALE.
Perfect understanding Exists Be
tween Faculty and Students.


New Haven, Dec. 29.-Yale University
does not have the troubles with her ath-
letc teams that seem to bother other
colleges. The secret seems to be perfect
harmony between the Yale faculty and
the athletic managers and captains And
this harmony is the result OF the trust
placed in the latter by the former.
The Yale faculty goes on the presump-
ton that their student captains and man
ayers have the honor of old Yale at
heart: also that they have been long
enough out Of the cradle TO have some
common sense.
Says a prominent Yale professor:
Faculty members have made no secret
Of the fact that they are pleased beyond
measure with the general conduct Of
affairs by the captains and managers Of
the athletic teams during the past spring
and fall The football rules are approved
as they stand, the baseball schedule has
been curtailed in accordance with faculty
wishes. and the unwrittcn ruling that at
the suggestion of the proper university
authorities Il captain shall remove from
his team any man 10 whom the faculty
objects has been tried and successfully
worked
There is not the slightest danger that
any athletic sport on the Yale calendar
viii be uproOted or seriously interfered
with. Suggestions from the college have
been listened to- and after fair discussion
from both parties have been decided on
their merits and acted upon by the ath-
letic association

New York. Dec. 29-While IT is true
that a housecIeaning committee is az
work iu the athletic department Of the
New York Athletic Club. it is also true
that the club is reluctant TO lose its
famous athletes.
Harry Hnlman has not been expelled
from membership in the club. In his
case this is what happened: Like all
athletic members, Hllman is assessed
$40 annually for dues. When he en-
tered the club. several years ago. he
promptly paid his first years dues. I'm
mediately after payment he was in
formed by many N mbers, none OF
whom were officers. however, that it
was unnecessary for an athlete of his
standing TO pay dues
Mr. HIIman Investigated a bit and
found that several men on his team
were not paying any money to the club.
When he found that out he refused
thereafter 90 do so. Nothing was said
10 him about his dues until several
weeks ago. when he received a letter
from the management stating he was
behind in his dues and limiting strongly
that unless he paid Immediately he
would be suspended.
knowing that the other members OF
his team had not paid their dues and
that no such letter had been sent to
them. Hnlman answered that he saw
no reason why he should be the only
one forced to do so. Following his let
ter of refusal, Hnlman admits he had
been told by at least ten different per
sons that he had been dropped from the
club This information. quickly fol-
lowing the letter, led him To believe
that he had been suspended. Not until
he saw the story Of the housecleaning
at the club this morning did he take
any action. Fearing that people would
believe he had gotten into trouble be
cause of his house account" Hillman
called up the officials Of the club and
from them learned he had not been
either expelled or suspended

reason for the number Of foreigners upon

New York Athletic Club. in a special 100

is also one Of the best fancy diving ex-
perts in the world.
On the football squad last fall was Ia

YALE TO DROP HARVARD?
Athletic Relations Between Old
Rivals Are Not Certain.
Bitter Feeling of Resentment at New
Haven over Recent Actions of
Crimson Athletic Authorities.

New Haven, Dec. at is barely posi-
be that an announcement that Yale and
Harvard will not meet again for some
time in football. If I'm no other sport, may
come from Yale. without reference to the
decision OF the Harvard officials on the
matter
The feeling Of resentment at Yale over
the action of Harvard the last fan has
not entirely died away. The discussion
OF the continuance OF athletic relations
with Harvard is the paramount topic at
Yale just now. and by three distinct
b0dies-the undergraduates. the athletic
officials. and the faculty. The faculty has
taken up the question informally. and the
members are by no means unanimous in
favor OF continuing TO meet Harvard. at
least in football
1t is felt at Yale that two humiliatiug
Sights have been placed on Yale in con-
uection with Harvard football contests
a year ago Yale was attacked bitterly
editorially In the Harvard graduates
magazine. and the past fail was full OF
acTim0ny in Yals-Haryard diplomatic az
fairs relating TO football
According to the terms Of the Yale
Harvard athletic agreement It VIII renew
itself in February. unless one OF both the
universities give notice 10 the other that
it wishes it broken. The agreement was
adopted four years ago. Ii was for two
years. and had self-reueWing clause
which stated that unless one unjversi o.
gave notice 10 the contrary the agree
mout would renew itself al the end Of
every two years. TWO years ago the
agreement was allowed 20 renew itself

agreement. before February -. or the

TWO years Of athletic sport As il IS be-
Heved that the Harvard athletic iuvesti-
CATION will consume all the spring, 10 is
thought that Harvard viii ask that either
the agreement be broken at the end of
the present period. or else suspended till
the Harvard athletic bodies can decide
about the future OF sport at Harvard.
Athletic relations with Yale will then
either be broken Of or else a new agree
