CAMP. HI FAD OF FOOTBALL At
Yale. Goes into BUSINESS
Twice Captain of the Blue Eleven He
Has Been Active in Sports Ever
Since-Created Financial Union
to Pool Athletic Funds

New Haven, Conn, Oct. l6.-An-
nouueement was made yesterday after
noon of the retirement from Yale athlc.
ties of Walter Camp, so, who for over
twenty years had been at the head of
Yale football and for the past twenty.
two years the fnancler of Yale ath.
leties. Mr.. Camp has resigned as treas
urer of the Yale Financial Union and
as member of the athletic council.
which controls sports. He will devote
himself from now ON exclusively to
business.
He is president of the New Haven
Clock Company, and by reason of the
recent death of Vice President Stew
ems, of that company, the entire re-
sponsibility of the business will fall
upon Mr., Camp. His resignation is due
to Mr. Steven death and not to any
shake.up in Yale athletics. Whatever
time Mr.. Camp may devote TO ath
letics in the future Will simply be that
of graduate and not as salaried of
fieer.
lie may keep in touch with football
as a critic, but not as coach. He will
entirely relinquish his position as treas
nrer of the financial union, in which
position he has absolutely controlled all
of fale's athletic finances.
He will retire as member of the
Yale faculty. where he has held the
title of athletic adviser. The news of
Mr.. Camps retirement comes rs com
plete surprise to Yale men. Up to the
time of the death of Mr.. Stevens a lit
tie over a year ago, he had not CON
templated such step.
He had been in closer touch with
football this fall than at any time in
recent years, owing to his close rela-
tions with Frank Hinkey, the head
coach. Mr., Camp was the leading advo-
cate of Hinkeys s appointment as head
coach, and il was understood that the
appointment of Hinkev would again
bring back Mr.. Camp into the football
councils of Yale.
Walter Camps name has been inter
woven in Yale sports since he entered
college in 1876. He played football for
four years and was twice captain. After
graduation Mr.. Camp began to coach
and never since has he lost touch with
the game. He has had more to do with
the development of the American col.
lege game than any other one man
During all this time he has represent
ed Yale on the Intercollegiate Rules
committee and for years as chairman
of this committee nodded the policy OF
the game.
Mr.. Camps greatest work for Yale
outside of football was the creation OF
the Yale financial union, by which the
| receipts of all sports were pooled anC
the expenses put under his control.
In this way Mr.. Camp has savet
over sSOO,OO0 for Yale sports WheI
he took hold OF this position rowing
and track athletics were drag on the
college and every year had big de
felt. To-day after spending $175,0OC
for permanent improvements, the fnan
eial union has surplus of $125, 600
and the college is no longer asked tc
contribute dollar to athletics.

their ballads which is especially tune
