WYKAGYL GOLF CLUB
VOTES ON CHANGES
Reduction of Membership and
Increase of Dues Approved.

Wykagyl Country Club members to the
number of 200 under the Craftsmanship
of President Henry V. Gaines amended
in important particulars their club con-
stitution at the Biltmore last Tuesday
evening. A gradual reduction of reg
ular membership was voted through the
adoption of a policy of not filling the
places of resgning members by the ap-
pointment of new members except in
special instances.
The annual dues for 1870 and 1921
were fixed at s125. All incoming mem
bers must pay an initiation fee Of $3.50
and shall also purchase at least $3.50
In club bonds. Certificates OF member
ship will be issued to all regular MEM
beTs when the reduced membership
takes effect. and the certificate OF mem
bership OF retiring member must he
purchased by the incoming member at a
price set by the board of governors.
Other forms OF Wykagyl membership
remain substantially as at present Con-
gestion on the links OF the we'll known
club at New Rochelle has led mainly
to the present action OF the club.
A season OF frequent and novel tour
naments and entertainments is about to
DO announced by the club. Important
changes in the layout of the course are
being carried through. Several new
holes will probably be in commiss ION by
tho latter part OF the summer, taking

YALE BASKETBALL
SEASON SUCCESS

WRITES OF HANDICAPS

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 15.-''This
season must be considered a success not
withstandins the fact that We lost TO
Pennsylvania and Columbia" says wal
ter Mace. the coach. in a review of the
Yale basketball season in the Yale Neios
to-day.
Those defeats were both close games"
he continues, land neither was won until
the last moment OF play. The reason
just been withdrawn because of scho-
lastic difficulties, which resulted In a
last minute change in our lineup.
TOO much credit cannot be given to
the substitutes. On the whole they came
through whenever called Upon to do so.
THE feature Of the year, 1 think. has
been the wonderful Improvement Of Ha-
mill at centre. The floor work of Van
Slyck was at times as fast and accu-
rate as any I have ever seen. Horizons
comeback after two years in the ser
vice was remarkable. He and Van
Slyck played together with flne team
work.
capt. Stradellas all around play
at guard was good, but It was his SPLEEN
did leadership that kept the team be-
hind him at all times and made our
spirit possible. Stradella had a won
derful way Of helping Alderman and
Goodell. the two other guards with ad-
vice.
The college gave US good support
throughout the season.
THE outlook for next year is prom
ising We shall have Van Slyck, Ha-
mill, Alderman, F. Goodell, Murphy,
FAherty. Cohen and Jameson. am also
expecting some good material from this

There was no intercollegiate basket
ball championship this year but mem
bers of the league arranged an informal
schedule, the results OF which will not
count towards the intercollegiate cup.
The Yale team won seven out of tho
nine games played. The teams to which

YALE IN GLEE OVER
SHARPE'S RETURN
Famous Coach's Acquisition a
Development Started
Five Years Ago.
CORNELL'S LOSS IS BIG

Yale students and alumni hailed with
great satisfaction the announcement last
Thursday that DR.. Albert Hayes Sharpe,
1902 Medical, had been appointed d.
rector Of athletics. DR.. Shapes call to
his Alma Mater was the result OF n
development of five years which had its
beginnings in Cornelrs football victory
over Harvard by 10 to 0 in 1915.
During the Winter of 1915-1916, when
Yale was looking about for somebody
to lead It out OF the football wilderness,
there was considerable agitation for the
return of DR.. Sharpe. but Cornell fore
stalled any action that might have come
in that line by signing the doctor to a
new contract for five years. That con-
tract will expire next June, and next
September Dr. Sharpe will assume his
duties at New Haven.
At Yale DIR. Sharpe will have the
Same duties which no exercised at Cor
nell--drector of athletics, head coach in
football baseball and basketball and
supervising coach in all other sports. DR.
Anderson will remain director OF the
Yale gymnasium. DR.. Sharpe Is the
highest type OF coach and a man
emineRtly fitted for the work at hand.
Yale was very fortunate that Cornelrs
contract was running its last year and
that its alumnus was able TO consider It's
call.
What is Yale's gain is Cornelrs loss.
DR.. Sharpe exercised an influence for
great good in Cornell athletics and
saved Cornell football. Just now no
other man with DR.. Shsrpe's general
ability looms on the horizon. Certainly
no Cornell graduate appears available.
Cornell Is not likely to take a step back

Eust-west Matches.

Efforts TO arrange an East-West toam
match for this summer have aroused
much interest among followers of tennis,
who say that this International COM
petition Is one of the best means OF es-
tablishipg the relative ability Of the
players from the two sesboards. AS these
matches could not be played during the
last two years on account OF the war
there Is more than the usual curiosity
TO SEQ how the sections compare.
The California Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton proposed to the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association that
such a match be played, and the details
are now being arranged by tho officers.
1t appeared 10 be impossible TO schedule
the match In August because OF the
large number Of tournaments requested
for that month. No club wants to hold
tournament in competition with 90
popular an event as an East-West
match. nor could week be taken out
OF the Eastern schedule because OF the
latsness OF the clay court championship
this year.
Under the circums tances tho best
thing seemed 10 put the International
contest in Cincinnati, and reCommen-
dation to that effect viii be made to the
executive committee OF the L. S. N. L.
r. A. at its meeting on March 81. The
East VIII send lis strongest players TO
meet the Pacific Coast team. or course
the makeup OF each team cannot be de-
termined for weeks. Or. Sumner Hardy
writes that several OF tho Californians
are still in the service and he is unable
TO tell whether or not new men will have
to be found to take their places. This
also is true of the East. but II Is certain
that each section Will make every effort
to secure the best available players
when tho time comes.
The last contests of the kind we're
held three years ago. In August 1915.
the East defeated tho West at Forest
Hills, six matches TO one, the outcome
being very much Of a surprise. in tho
following matches the West turned the
tables by defeating the eastern players
at the University OF Southern Cali
fornia by tho same score OF the four
contests held since 1915, each section
has won two, but tho honors are with
the West in the number OF sets won and

ment that there IL great tennis activity

appeal for equipment.

This material was purchased with
money remaining IN the fund the associ-
alton raised for the Commission on

that a shipment of considerable size may
