PRINCETON. \. J.. Feb e2:-A general reorganization of Princeton s athletic administrative powers. includ. ing the abolishment of the office of Athletic Director. until two weeks ago held by William w. Roper. and the Graduate Advisory Committee, which has to up to this time exercised gen 1 eral supervision over Princeton's competitive athletics, has been made Though this move has been contem- plated for some time. the announce ment of it was not made public until the plans of reorganization were com pIeted this week The object of the change is to bring about greater CO., operation between the university au- thorities. the alumni. and the under graduates in the regulation and con trol of athletics.
 The revised constitution establish ed the Princeton University Athletic association of nine members and the senior. junior and sophomore classes of the university.
 The government of the association is vested in a Board of Control, which is made up Of three alumni members to be appointed by the Graduate Council for a period of three years each: three members of the Faculty committee on Outdoor Sports, to be selected by that committee. and three undergraduate members appointed by the Undergraduate Athletic Commit tee. each to serve one year. One of the faculty members is to be Chair man of this Board of Control
 The Board of Control is to have charge of the management Of the sev- eral branches of athletics represented in the association, the making up and approval of schedules, the control of finances. the maintenance and control of the property of the association. the selection of physicians. coaches and trainers. the appointment of the mem bers of the various subcommittees, while the Faculty committee on Out. door Sports will continue to exercise authority on all questions of eligibili ty, scholarship, physical fitness of students. the approval of coaches, physicians. and trainers, the recogni- tion of new sports. and the control of all sports not in the Athletic associa- tion
 Under the system just established the control of athletics is kept to 8 large extent in the hands of the Facul. ty, the alumni and undergraduates, however. having an authoritative voice in the management of the sports. The Board Of Control may adopt bylaws and rules Of action, but the constitution can be amended only by the Board of Trustees of the university. In order that an author itative body may be in Princeton per manently. the Beard Of Control is au- thorized to appoint an Executive Committee to be responsible for the details of the administration. There are to be four sub-associations and subcommittee, the latter to be se- lected by the Board of Control, one in football. one on baseball, one on track and the fourth on minor sports The Football committee will haye ,f', members and will select the football coach in conference with the CaptaIn. The Undergraduate Athletic Commit tee will have full charge Of awarding insignia, but with this exception it's acts are to be subject to the veto
 
 This complete reorganization of Princeton's athletics has followed a cry Of the alumni for a more systemat- ic way of dealing with the subjects of athletic interest to Princetonians. In recent years several sports have ob- tained professional coaches in place of the graduate coaches. notably the baseball team, which has engaged the services of William J. Clark, former major league catcher, and has passed through two successful seasons under his tutelage.
 The announcement Of next seasons football coach is still hanging fire. and several names have been promin- entity mentioned. The sentiment on the campus favors strongly the ap- pointment of Eddie Hart the last Falls championship Captain, but con lecture of this kind has had no off cial tinge. and it is not known wheth- CT Hart would accept the position if approached. He has many qualifica- tions admirable in coach and is very popular among the men.
