<.U Haven Conn, April 1e.-The pro-
Frc:s made in the matter of athletic
,.lunree at tiic close Of the meeting oi
Vile faculty committee before the
Easter recess at Yale, is summed up ir
the following statement issued today:
NO final settlement of all me- tiers
under consideration has ben reached
The advisory athletic committee has
however, taken definite action regard
ing certain points, following largely the
report If the committee of the univer-
sity council, and in cooperation with
the present faculty committee. Later
action in some form regarding unset
tied questions is expected. The points
already covered are as follows:
''First-In the matter of game sched-
ules After the present season TWO
baseball games commonly played out OF
town will be dropped. One of these IS
the Andover game.
"In football, no large out-of-to"h
game will replace the Columbia game.
A local game with a smaller collese
will take its place. A further llmitd-
tion of out -of-town football games Is
still under consideration.
"Second-The squads taken out-ol- :
town garres will be greatly reduced,
the number being limited to those
whose services are likely to be needed,
excluding those formerly taken as
reward for practice. Fewer men are 10
be entered In winter track meets, ana
some of these meets have been omitted.
Third-No student subscription VIII
be taken for the benefit of the four
major sports. They will be financed
from their collective earnings out OF
common purse A season ticket, trans
ferable, but inscribed with the owners
name admitting to all home events, ex-
cept championship games will be Offer
ed to the members of the University
for s..
The owner of such a ticket, upon
presentation of an identified ton will be
entitled to a. half-price ticket for all
championship games. This provision is
designed to relieve the students of what
is really a burden to some, the IS col
lection, and to emphasize the fact that
football earnings are a trust fund for
the common good of college athletics,
rot the property Of football alone.
Fourth-Only minor and class or
ganizations will be allowed to solicit

be financed from the common purse,
but permitted to prosper as they just
ify themselves in public opinion.
Fifth-Thc managers are to extend
further the order book system to fur
niSh for the use of the athletic advisory
committee the cost Of each individual
to the association. with the object of
eliminating any extravaganza in the
use Of sporting goods. The grouping
Of accounts will be further extended to
show the character Of the expenditure.
Other provisions for the reduction of
expenditures hav" been adopted. such
az the limitation of travelling expenses,
tine reduction of expenditures for tro-
phies. the elimination of free theatre
tickets and of all tutoring bills. These
latter however. have been merely
out In the past
"Sixth-The period Of training bic
has already been shortened, the train
ing tables Of the crew and the nine be-
ginning only after the Easter recess.
The recommendations of the council
committee regarding training tables
has been adopted so far as the vote of
-he managers are concerned That re-

sity dining hall; that $40 be the maxi
mum price OF training table board that
an individual charge of s. a week be
paid by the university on the bill OF
each man. and collected with his
tuition fee. 1t is, however, impossible
to carry these recommendations into
effect at once. owing to the crowding
Of the university dining hall, and the
inability of the management to handle
the training table under existing condi-
ions. Plans foc the necessary additions
are now .lnGer consideration"
