New Haven, April 16.--With the re- i opening of the university this morn ing after the Easter recesSS hardly | more than two months remain before l the college year comes to a close. In the next six or eight weeks Yale has quite as difficult problems before her in the spring athletics she has ever
 had. The baseball team is back after a southern trip that netted two de- featS both at the hands of the Uni Versity of Virginia, and~two victories, over Mt St. Joseph and the Catholic University. The southern trip, then, was not especially encouraging. But the team did show improvement from game to game and the material gives promise. The team has a number of
 strong veterans, Reilly at third, Cap
 tain Blossom at short, Cornish at sec ond and with a little more out-of- door
 playing the new men will get
 smoother team play. It is the Uni
 versity of Pennsylvania at Philadei-
 phia this Saturday and the home sea-
 son starts with Columbia next We'd
 nesday. Brown is next Saturday,
 April 18th at Providence and then fol- lows a long string of games at Yale

 by the second university eight a week ago brought great shifting in the uni versity squads. The men were sent home after three days work, for the recess. but were at work again this afternoon.
 At the field there have been sur prises in the Willisbrook competitions and the track outlook is unsettled.
 The collection Of funds for the Yale Bowl has been very difficult since last tall, Secretary David DagSett of the committee of twenty one said last week, coming probably as the result of hll conditions he Nhs total collections, including interest, up to date have been $366,949 and of this S103 129 was spent for real estate. For the actual construction of the Bowl about s75,0eo has been paid out and So there is less than S5o,000 on hand at the present time. A subcommittee has been organized this spring in New York city and from their campaign much is expected. The recent gift by a Princeton graduate of funds for a new stadium at his college will have some influence with Yale men, it is felt. The Bowl committee is especially anN ious to have donations that may com memorate individuals, as in the case of a clubhouse or of a new baseball stand on the old field that might bear the names of the donors, The need of a larger baseball stand is one of the pressing needs to be met after that of the football bowl

They went to Italy in the course of their European rambles and in Rome had an adventure that makes an interesting tale for their friends at home. They were just entering Rome, by carriage when they were stopped by an Italian official The Jepsons couldn't speak Italian and the official couldn't speak English. When they expoStuiated, the travellers were hur- ried away and lodged for 8 number of hours in a Roman Jail. Finally the American Vice-consul came to. their
