Princeton to Lend q Hand.
With the request Tor membership into
the National Collegiate Athletic AS
sociation. there remain but two UNIVERSE
ties Of Importance not yet in the fold.
They are Yale and Cornell. Although
neither has shown any disposition to lend
a helping hand. 1t Is quite likely that
within a year or two the Ellis and the
Ithacans will abandon their policy OF
holding aloof and give what help they
can to this association In building up and
keeping clean all forms OF intercollegiate
sport.
When Princeton is finally taken into
the association there is likely to be re-
organisation. Of the intercollegiate foot
ball rules committee. At present this
seven Of whom are appointed by the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Association and
seven by the colleges which made UP the
original committee. As things now stand
those colleges which are members OF the
association and which form part OF the
original committee have double repre-
sentation. They have voice in the ap-
poinfment Of the seven men representing
this body on the committee and they sui
retain a representative on the old com
mittee. Although this Is not entirely fair
to the other members OF the committee,
no one has complained about 1t because
no particular injustice has been done any
institution. As q matter OF fact. the
because it has too many members. A
committee OF SIX or seven Is SUFFICIENT
and would undoubtedly do better than
twice that number. II Yale and Cornell

there will be no further reason for
continuation of the old body. 1..e en-
tire committee would then come within
the Jurisdiction Of the n. c.. A. A.
What the N. C.. A. A. needs to do more
than anything else is to adopt some sort
Of uniform attitude on summer base
ball At every annual convention OF the
association there has been q long and
wordy debate, with no constructive &C
ton to show for it. In the meantime
semi-professionalism flourishes at nearly
all the colleges within the association
and it will continue until the evil Is sat
isfactorily solved.
Yale the Swimming Champion.
The Yale swimmers have regained their
laurels in this sport by winning the in
tercollegiate championship. The Ellis
were temporarily dispossessed last year
by the University Of Pennsylvania, but
this year they have come into their own
again.
Yale men are much elated over the an
nouncement by Capt. Ketcham that he
has. selected ex-Capt. Spalding and Be-
meisler as assistant coaches for the COM
ing foot ball season. These two men were
the backbone Of the Yale eleven last
year. Bomeisler, in particular, was one
of the best ends that Yale ever develop
ed-a man of the Shevlin and Fitzpatrick
type. He possesses the aggressfv
necessary to a good coach. The selec-
old Yale system of making the captain
head coach after his graduation. BY add
ing Spalding to the coaching staff the
Ellis still have the benefits to be derived
from an experienced coach like Jones and
likewise the benefits which come from
retaining the captain Of the previous
eleven.
