New York, March 17.-The quota
ton of expressions of opinion after a
recent basketball game shows the
growth of new psychology in COL
lege sports.
Joe Fogarty, a star Eastern League
basketball player, was sent up to
New Haven this year to coach the
Yale team and he raised them from
the lowest position until they prac-
tically reached the top Of the league.
They were defeated by Columbia. "a
to %, and the report shows that
their expressions were, eve are
sorry. Joe; it was not your fault.
We couldn't get going. 1t is tough
for you" And, as the dispatch says,
"they were sincere in these express
sions."
This shows the height of unselfish-
ness to which the modern player goes
in his loyalty to the coach. The
coach in football, baseball, basket
ball. crew, hockey. all these sports,
is now in n position where the in
tensity of loyalty shown TO him
would have been almost unbelievable
decade ago. Fogarty puts it this
way, when asked how he brought
the team IN to such heights:
well. the players worked hard.
They had TO work. Then. too. condi-
tons are ideal for coaching at New
Haven. have had great support
from everybody, and fine, ambitious
material to work with. Who would
mt do the same under such circum-
stances?"
Mutual Appreciation.
So We find a mutual appreciation
of the players for their coach and
of the coach for the hard, unselfish
work of the team. Now the extra
ordinary feature OF all this lies in
the fact that this same psychology
does not seem to prevail in the case
of these young men in relation to
their instruction in other matters of
education. Here instead of any such
mutua admiration the converse is
often the case.
For instance. DIR. Albert Parker
Fitch, at the Bellevue Stratford re-

believe in social service work and
those who wish TO maintain the in.

Yale among the undergraduates who
beginning with tie matter of Sunday

mands for far greater voice in tn,
administration Of affairs.
| These have already reduced thei
demands to definite classification
They maintain that compulsory chape
is travesty on religion, that an,
desired worship should be voluntary
These men claim that their move
ment is against paternalism in gen
eral and in favor of more studen
government, and that they wish t
make Yale more like universit
than prep school. The studen
council also favors more independ
ence from faculty dictatlon. TIL
Yale News, the officia, organ. is sal
to be strongly behint. this demand
and is now sending out question
naire not only to the students, bu
to the members of the faculty.
