athletics Yale has not! tal!rli so low
in the p~"rc"ntast Of athletic Victories
as al present. and the alumni seek
the remedy in tn, Installation of r.
new system of supervision.

the change cannot he. forecast. \.
new p%ernauen, head coach for the
crews is expected. however. and n
rumor makes i; likely tina, he may
arrive before the close of the present
rowing season.
One demand that is made is that
Walter Camp To whom President Had
ley has referred as director Of at'-
%letics." come into closer touch. Dur
ing the past fall the football coaches
did no. GO to the house of Mr.. Camp
for consultation till after the Prince
ton game.
The result OF the season carried 90;
the Yale tradition that no Yale captain
has Won n campaign without keeping
close to Walter Camp. MIR. Camp ;s
paid a fair-sized salary. about $4,000
- year. and has 81 position on tho fac
ulty and is "A member of the university
council. yet some OF the undergrad
uate captains nave cut loose from his
help and advice. Some connection
between Mr.. Camp and the undergrad
uatc captains is demanded as indis-
pensahle to- the success of any sys-
ten,
Baseball System is q. X.
In baseball 1t is thought hat a sat.
isfactory system has been started.
Frank Quinby. the resident coach, who
developed last years nine, may be aid
cd by a professional coach for this
pitchers during the winter. as the bat
terry material is unusually heavy. A.
been formed to handle baseball mat
ters. with George Case and Walter
Carter prominent in its membership.
Case is the baseball member Of the
athletic committee. The alumni
track committee has decided that
more coaching is necessary for the
success of the track leans. and the
advent of BILLY" Queal. the cross
country champion. is expected 500
after the winter term opens.
The chief trouble in the situation
seems to be lack of authoritative sup
ervision. In case an undergraduate
captain takes it into his head to re-
main away from Walter Camp. sucl,
q handicap is placed on an athletic
team that it is almost certainly wreck
ed. At least three captains in major
branches of sports in five years have
to work in harmony with
Mr.. Camp. and tho result has been n
sad ending ia an intercollegiate cam.
With the proposed sS6o.ooo new
athletic plant just begun. including n
$4,000 coliseum. the alumni takes
the situation most seriously. How
the new stands can be filled unless
Yale athletic fortunes shown improve
nent Is difficult to see.
The old. poorly organized vehicle of
athletic control at Yale. each sport an
association by itself. separate from all
others and regulated without regard
for them. have been superseded by a
has ageressively taken up the
for reform. and which prom
ises to announce some important
before the close Of the pres.
school year.
For the first time since basketball
and hockey were organized as branch
es Of intercollegiate sport. the Yale
teams have taken no Christmas trips
In either. Both teams will report
about January l for two days practice
before the opening Of college. Their
playing schedule will be OPEN
ed January 4. Both have withdrawn
from the intercollegiate leagues by
o Of the faculty, which cut down
their playing schedules and absences
from the city during the season.
