According to data compiled at Yale, 1890
upper classmen participated in athletic
activity during the autumn. Tennis lead
with 145; wrestling was second with 80;
golf had 6S devotees; crew Ga, and foot
ball 50. 1t was estimated that $50 stu
dents used the gymnasium and swimming

preserved in the freshman class, where

The University of Chicago swimmers
under Coach White have been trying out
the new aquatic game known as water
basketball in order to determine whether
the game will prove a practicable sub
stitute for water polo. Polo was officially
abolished by conference ruling two years
ago, and since that time efforts have
been made to secure a water contest
which will prove an equal attraction.
Water polo was generally regarded as
the toughest intercollegiate sport and has
been viewed with much disapproval for
years.
The action of Wesleyan in declining to
meet Yale in football in 1914 has won ap-

less attractive to lesser schols each year.

The suggestion emanating from Yale
that the annual HarvardYale football

Thine was when Yale played Princeton
and Harvard on successive Saturdays and
was we'll pleased with the arrangement
and results, To postpone the game a
week would be to make football a nearly
winter sport. But more than that, the
Crimson believes that any lengthening
of the football season would be bad from
the point of view of the players and the
college, which suffers enough, as 1T is,
from the football mania. A touch of the
mania, such as we have now, is a splen-

become a dangerous disease itself. We

An ultimatum regarding rugby football
