Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 30.-The recently
drawn up athletic agreement between
Yale, Harvard and Princeton becomes
effective on Monday, and there Is keen
Interest at Yale as to Just how materially
the agreement will affect athletics at the
university. That there will be hardly an
appreciable change in the general ath-
letic policy is quite generally agreed here
and In Cambridge and Princeton, but
certain reforms. which will have little
effect on the outward appearance of
sport in general, will be inaugurated.
These will have tendency to make
athletics purer. but there will be little
IL anything done to lessen the sporting
curriculum or interest In that curricu-
lum.
Yale, Harvard and Princeton will not
have SO many transfers" from other
centers OF learning. as previously. it is
believed. because OF the ruling prohibit
ing an athlete who has come here from
another college participating In sport in
which he formerly took part. This is
one of the principal clauses in the agree
ment. Others tending to create better
general understanding of affairs athletic
In the three centers of learning will be
found In the new pact.
One Of the things the new agreement
Is responsible for Is the cutting OF the
football schedule from ten TO eight
games. The same number OF coaches
will be retained, however. and there Is
little likelihood of reduction in the
coaching staff in any branch being made.
There will be crew coach and an
assistant or two; a larger staff for track.
baseball. Joe Woods coming here as
an assistant to Bernie Tommers makes
one additional mentor for the diamond
candidates to deal with. There is a
second assistant to Johnny Mack and
Billy Queal in the person Of New Mer-
riam.
Speaking OF coaches and trainers,
Mack has been confined to a hospital
here for three weeks and will leave the
institution on Monday for complete
rest Johnny suffered from serious
illness but has recovered. He will have
a good layon before taking up his indoor
duties with the track team.
Walter Mace. one Of the most popuar
trainers Yale ever had, underwent an
operation for appendicitis on Friday,
and to-day II was reported that the
operation was a success. Mace handles
the baseball and football candidates.
