Fear Athletic Break.

L ear HInISI1C Break
NEW HAVEN. October l6.-The failure
OF Yale ami Harvard to close up thu bust
ness which called their foot ball repre-
senta;iyes together Monday night in a
conference at Springfield is regarded as
most unfortunate among university men
here. The spectacle which was presented
last year. when Harvard refused to come
to New Haven to play the game scheduled
unless Yale accepted a list of officials
prescribed by Harvard. is recalled, and
fear is felt that disagree emcnt may
arisr this fall. If so, it VIII be an unusu-
ally important note in the athletic rela-
tions Of the TWO universities.
The faculties at both Yale and Harvard
have their attention directed to the con-
duet of athletics just now, and they are
likely 10 act if another spit occurs be-
tween the two athletic associations.
While the Yale repre- sentatives have made
no statement relative TO the conference
Monday night. it is known to have been
called TO discuss matters incident to the
annual game. which viii take place next
month, and II is known that the questions
taken up were not settled.
Nearly two weeks age Yale and Prince
ton officials met and chose the umpire
and referee for the annual game between
these two universities in something like
fifteen minutes, agreeing upon a list which
was announced coon as word was re-
ceived from the officials that they would
accept
Yale and Harvard have not yet come to
any understanding whatever in athletics.
The two-year agreement between them to
meet in all branches of athletics expired
last February, and Harvard gave notice
that It was not to be renewed. At Yale
int nations were given that II Har-
ward wished to nod conference and
frame new agreement mutually salts
factory as to altered detail, there was no
reason why this should not be done, but
Harvard has made no move to this end.
If Yale and Harvard meet in the future
they will come together under such rules
of eligibility and other details as each
university DrcsCrib4s. That is. for the
Yale-Harvard game this fall Harvard can,
according to the present outlook. present
any player who. under the code existing
at Harvard. is eligible for the team, and
Yale can follow suit. AS neither has an
nounCed any change in its eligibility rules
since the agreement with Harvard lapsed,
the condition of affairs may not be of vast
importance. but in former years a mutual
agreement has been in force.
Tigers in Secret Practice.
PRINCETON October 16.-Secret prac-
tice was in order again yesterday after
noon and the Tigers were rushed through
many formations which have been

under his helmet. but on the sort which

puff hard.
Another Shift for Penn.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October 16.-
Pennsylvania foot bail coaches have not
yet reached the end of the discipline they
began to hand out to the varsity eleven

sensation when they put Quartz rback
Regean at full back and Left End Miller

back position enough in the practice
games with the scrubs TO BE- familiar
with It. and as he weighs 162 pounds he
can play the position fairly well. Miller
