SPORTS Of THE SEASON IN SEASON.
PUZZLE OVER YALE
PRINCETON GAME

Complications have arisen at Yale be-
cause Of faculty interference TO prevent
tho usual third baseball game with Prince
ton In the spring series now being ar
ranged. II vas stated at New Haven yes
torday that the faculty is not in the least
adverse TO participation in intercollegiate
athletics with Princeton or any other coll
lege, but the stand is taken merely be-
cause the proposed game comes I'm exam
inntion week. Some fear was entertained
among the student body that the action
OF the Yale authorities would be con-
strued at Princeton as adverse to the con-
tinuance OF athletic relations between the
colleges. and IL is understood that this
occasioned the informal statement OF the
faculty's position.
Yale's baseball management is in a
quandary owing to the objections OF the
college authorities, for with every date
I'm June closed, except the 18TH, when
II was supposed the Princeton game
would be played. thero seems but one
alternative. II third and deciding
game is TO be played with Princeton
Il must come on June 8. II the
faculty do not yield TO the pressure
brought 10 bear by the Yale undergradu-
alto body and prominent alumni who favor
the contest, IL seems the game will not
be- played How then could the series be
decided. should each college win one OF
the previous games? This is the question
which is puzzling players and enthusiasts
alike

used in mass plays inside the tackle
positions. Limiting the operation OF
the fve-yard zone on each side or the
