It Is rather remarkable that Prince.
ton. Yale and Harvard are to play nc
base ball games with colleges other
situations have perfect right to run
their athletics to suit themselves, but
the action is very difficult to under
stand Why the universities schedule

Miller, playing shortstop for the
Navy. ~ an exceptionally clever fielder
and fast on the bases Not so much can
be said, though. for his batting capa-
bilities. He has a decided tendency to
hit at bad balls, particularly high
ones. =
Whelchel, former Western High
School star, Is playing on the Navy
team. Whelchel has made good at An
