Athletes Killed i'm War
To Have Memorial at Yale

NEW HAVEN, March 15.--Yale is de-
termined to establish particular me-
mortal to her athletes who fell during
the recent war This, according to
present plans, will be entirely separate
from the general war memorial which
will be erected by the university later
in token of all the war activities of its
alumni and undergraduates during the
world strife.
Three captains Of former major sport
teams have been reported as killed-Al-
bert Sturtevant, Alec Wilson and John
ME Overton-while several athletes of
lesser note fell. One of the plans now
projected would assure the erection of
definite general memorial to these
athletes. Other plans call for q sop
arate memorial to each of the three
captains, especially as one captain rep
resented football, another rowing and
the third track athletics.
The fact that all three captains be-
longed to athletic teams of practically
the present generation of athletes has
given the movement keen impetus
among the younger alumni Wilson
captaned the 1915 football eleven,
which, in defeating Princeton, staged
one Of the most remarkable combats
of a disOrganized eleven in Yale his
tory.
The Yale crew which Sturtevant cap
tanned won similarly remarkable vic
tory over Harvard the same year. Over
ton had captained Yhe's championship
'cross-country team, had twice won the
intercollegiate 'cross-country cham
plOnship and was an intercollegiate
champion distance runner
The advocates of the plan for a gen.
eral memorial in honor of the three
major sport captains urge that club
house in connection with the college
campus and activities be erected, and
that permanent Yale athletic club be
formed. This movement was begun
about five years ago, when, in a small
way, q Yale athletic club was organized
in connection with the house at iii
Wall Street. This was in reality an
extension of the famous Room lit Of
the New Haven House and the Hotel
Taft, where Yale football coaches had
their quarters for several years.
Yale has no athletic club at present,
because "117" was closed when athlet-
les were abolished at Yale during the
war. There is nothing definite regard
ing the plan for a general memorial
along lines suggested by the general
clubhouse plan, but many of the alumni
Sturtevant and Wilson particularly, as
we'll as to the other Yale athletes, not
captains, who fell during the war.
Tho majority of the other universi-
tics have their general athletic clubs.
and tho idea will be carried out Mt
Yale, whether in connection with the
proposed war memorial or entirely

Alumni and undergraduates together
favor the plan.
a specific plan which is urged by
many football men who were associated
with Wilson during his undergraduate
