He arranged with the management of the hotel to let his players use the long hall on the basement floor for their rainy day training quarters, and for half an hour had them running back and forth, after which they rushed to the bath house.

YALE AND HARVARD HOCKEY TEAMS TO
 MINGLE TONlGnT

New Haven, Feb. 23=The climax of the intercollegiate hockey season will be reached tonight when the Yale and Harvard sevens meet in the annual battle at the Arena at 8:15. Both have already disposed of Prince ton. but the Crimson already has a victory over the Blue to it's credit. Should Harvard win tonight the Crimson will be adjudged cham pion-
 Should the EsIlis win, however. the deciding game will be played at the Arena, Saturday night. In tonights 8 game the honors seem even, although Yale won over the strong Dartmouth players who defeated Harvard at Boston a couple of weeks ago Both teams are in excellent condition, but Harvard has wealth of suibstitutes.
 Yale has had rather peculiar season on the ice. When every thing seemed we'll with the Blue, up- sets occurred. as witness the slump last Wednesday when the Princeton team clearly outplayed Yale in the second of the series between the two and made g third game in New York necessary. Then the Blue demon strated clear superiority over the Tiger.

HARVARD 10 MAKE BASEBALL COACH
 REFRAIN IN STAND

Ras+on Feb. 23=Barnng the noacI1 from the bench will be prac- tsced more euensively by the liar ward varsity baseball team during tne eoznine season than 1t was last. for f.nach sexton of the Crimson team, who was one of the first coaches to e,Ttr,,1nIate himself in the big games in 1g14, is resolved to let ms men rely On fhen1selves throughout the esaSoxi this year
 Yale and Princston baseball teams sfanisE1ed the coach from the bench n all their games against one an ether in 1914, leaving it Tor tne players themselves to H1eeI exagen- se5es and solve problems duTtng their za1nez that ordinarily the coach himself would solve But it was found that after having played with fae coach on the bench in the early season games, the, players missed nm considerably when the moDe import ant contests came
 This year Coach Sexton will keep Off the bench during most or the games that are on the EdarVaro O Schedule. He win keep ln close touch with the players at the open ing of the season, or course, pue ,s.s = soon as team play and confidence are established he will make 1t point 10 have the players rely on them selves. Consequently, after the first month Tor so of the cohege baseball season. Sexton will clamber up into the bleachers at the beginn1ng or every contest
 The banisnment of the coach from the bench that was originally prac- tised by Harvard, Yale and Princeton is being adopted by other college ball tea ms for the coming season, so la .vorably was the idea received. The University of Michigan team will have it's coach sitting in the grand stand instead Sof on the bench this coming season. and more of the tean1s in the east will give the scheme a trial
