YALE ATHLETICS
UNDERGO CHANGE
Sports Consolidated Into One Asso-
citation Which Controls All.
Alumni on Covering Board.

New Haven, Conn, March 26.-De-
tails of Yale's new consolidated ath-
letic association. announced tonight,
, disclose the most radical changes ever
made in the. control. management, and
routine of Yale athletic affairs. For
the first time alumni are to be given
place on the organization that controls
the undergraduate sports, although the
students will easily have a ma ajority on
the athletic association which will di-
rect all the sports.
The central body. which II is planned
to place In charge of all the athletics
of the university, will consist of four
teen members, nine of whom are un-
dergrsduates. The four captains and
the four managers OF the four major
sport teams will, as heretofore, form
nucleus Of the athletic association.
and the president of the minor sport
association, which is the consolidated
organization OF the minor sports. will
be the ninth undergraduate member.
The five alumni who will compose the
association will be, respectively. four
graduates. who will be chosen by the
captain Of the football, baseball, track,
and rowing associations. and one grad
uate who will be selected by the other
four graduates.
TIL the present time the four ma jor
sports have been managed by separate
associations.
The abolition of the historic "hnan-
ciaI union" will call for the turning
over Of the surplus fund. which Walter
Camp, treasurer OF the union, has COL
lected and kept for twenty years. This
amounts to about S150,0oO. According
to the proposed constitution this fund
will be hereafter kept by the treasurer
of the university, and money may be
paid from IL only by order of two
thirds of the association.

.HILLTOPPERS FACE
NATIONALS TO-DAY
Griff's- Band Will Start the
Music, with Georgetown
Keeping Time.
ENGEL is BANDMAsTER
Leading Man for the Blue and Gray
Contingent Will Be Big
Dave White.

All paths will lead to National Park
this afternoon, for Boss Griff's rejuve-
mated Nationals are scheduled to hook up
in mortal combat with the Hilltop COL
legians. and fur is apt to fly.
The Blue and Gray varsity has been
bending every effort toward this game
and will make a strong bid for the long
end of the score. The same team that
faced Mount st. Joseph's last Saturday
in that freak contest on the Hilltop Will
take the field against the Nationals this
afternoon, while Manager Griff1th will
send his regulars to the post with Joe
Engel. the product Of local sand lots, to
serve them over.
Coach Sprigman. OF the West Enders,
has chosen Big Dave White as the hurI-
er of the day. and the husky Lad will
Start the ball rolling with a rush. While
the Collegnns hardly hope for a victory,
they viii put up a game tight, and the
battle should be interesting from start
to finish.
Newcomers I'm Action,
This will be the first chance of the local
fans to see Dan MoeIler, Kid Foster. Al
Williams, Jack Flynn. and Joe Engel in
action, and last night several large par
ties were being gathered together; So
from the plans made the Nationals should
receive welcome royal when the first
ball is pitched by Youngster EngeI this
afternoon at the concrete coliseum.
Eddie Handiboe, the local boy, will off,
ciate. and the game will be called prompt
ly at o'clock, with the Nationals In
the field.
Should the Nationals pound Dave
White. Chris Feinle. the Georgetown
mainstay last year. will be sent to the
mound. Feinle pitched great ball for the
Bankers, the amateur champions last
summer, and Is now in perfect condition.
Yesterday afternoon the Hilltoppers had
a goOd. long workout in preparation for
the game this afternoon The regulars
paid great deal Of attention TO hitting,
as they expect the big leaguers TO be
hard picking and are anxious to make
a good showing.

MACKEY MEETS
MONDAY TONIGHT
Veteran Nat Artist Will Attempt to
Throw Gotham Star at
the Gayety.

Rob Roy Mackey, long the pride OF
the District in the wrestling game. will
attempt that well-known comeback
stunt tonight on the Gayety Theater
stage, when he clashes with Young Mon
doay, the Gotham grappler. in a finish
bout, for q side bet and the entire purse.
The local man has been training faith
fully for this match, as he realizes that
this will be his last chance at the game
IN this city. and unless he comes through
with a victory he will be forced TO re-
tire. Mackey has gained nearly fifteen
pounds sipce last year, and now tips the
scales close to the I60-mark. so the bout
tonight should be interesting. Real
money has been posted by the contest
ants, and the winner will take all. Pat
O'Connor, the well-known ring expert,
will be the third man on the mat.

NOTES OF THE GAME

A high wind swept across the diamond
at intervals, and raised havoc with fiy
balls to the outfieId. The Nationals were
bothered by it very little, but Virginia s
outfielders ran around in circles.
Dan Moeller hit in hard luck. First
baseman Carter robbed him Of at least
two safe drives.
The Yannigans did not even don their
uniforms, but viewed the game from the
grandstand.
Grift intended TO work Buck" Becker
part of the game to-day, bot when
he had his men on the fieId he discover
I'd only three pitchers, and Becker had
to twiTl during batting practice.
Poor base running in the Nationals
fourth cost a run-further comment is
unnecessary. 1t smacked of the bush
league.
Jack Flynn deserves more than pass
Ing mention. He pulled OF some dan
dy stops on first base and connected
for a double, besides drawing two bases
on balls.
There was a wild rush for the din
ing-room after the game. for the last
meal of the training camp. Joe Engel
led the bunch, and didn't pull away
from the plate once during the dinner.
