MEN MAY GET STALE
Graduates Criticise Holding of
So Many Athletes
Here.
WANT A CHANGE OF AIR
Track Man States That Work Here Is
Necessary Because OF Com
Ing Meets.

The fact that so many athletes are
spending tho Easter recess In New Ha-
ven has caused considerable criticism
on the part Of the graduates, some OF
whom think the men will go stale for
spending their time here. Voicing this
sentiment former captain of tho Yale
baseball team said last night
II believe that 1t is bad thing for
the men to remain here at work In the
harbor and at the field. | believe they
should go away for the entire week for
rest and recreation, and to get
change Of air and surrounding. The
Easter trip of the baseball team was
given up to benefit the men, but l
think that staying hero In New Haven
Is Just us bad, Beside the baseball
team there is the track men and the
crews"
A member of the Yale track team
who has been in track work for several
years said yesterday after hearing OF
the opinion of the graduates: THE
track men are entered in a meet at
Pennsylvania three days after college
reopens and In that brief period after
getting out of training would not get in
condition again, one week later are
the spring track games and a week af-
ter that the Princeton meet. Still q
week later IL the Harvard meet 1t was
absolutely essential that the track men
stay here, Last year the Easter recess
was much earlier than 1t was this
spring and so the men could go home
Some Of them VIII spend Sunday home,
but work will recommence Monday.
There are 30 men here instead of so as
has boon reported"
only two crews stayed here and the
members of those Fights who can 60
home will be allowed today and tomor-
row, returning early next week. The
baseball men will have the changes Of
air They will go to New York today
for the game against the N. Y. A. G.
tomorrow and next week will go to
Hartford for game against the state
league team there.

day afternoon.
Brown and Harry Long will do the
bulk of the twirling for New Haven

sortment to pick from but 1t Is proba-
bic that all will be given a chance to
play. Haywood will hold down third
to-day.
The Montreal aggregation which
drops In to-day Is one OF the strongest
in the Eastern league and will form

feat HIGH school Nine.

been informed that the cancelled
game % Wednesday afternoon with
the Alumni was to have been played
yesterday afternoon. The others,
thinking there was no game, came out
for practice ut Yale ield In the morn
Ing. The result was that when tho
time for playing arrived, sufficient
number OF High school men could not
be secured.
Some Tiger men being present,
agreed to play for tho local high
Not only was the High school nine
crippled, but also the Alumni The
graduates failed to show up in full
form and the Tiger players also sub
stituted those absent. However, the
game proved to be a good one. The
supposed Alumni nine came out ahead
by the close score of to 3.
This game proved to be a very good
practice for the local nine. Stark
weather pitched for the High school
and worked effectively. Messenger
played short, Flanagan first sack
Raymano second, Mccormick ant
Harrington heldcrs. The remaining
part of the team was outsiders. Tom
mers and Broadbent We're the battery
for the Alumni until the third inning
when Hertz OF the Tigers replaced
him. Some Of the other graduates
who we're out were Irwin, Doncear
and Englander.
The High school nine will have ~
