 Yale Comment.
 The comment of Yale upon the agreement was made by Professor Nettleton, who said
 During the current year the board of control has studied with especial care the present needs and resources of the university for gen oral athletics. The representative membership Of the board ensures full consideration of general univer- sity and academic interests.
 i'T bc pI b n r nIic1N proved the conclusions reached in the joint agreement with Harvard and Princeton, IL heartily supports the policy Of general athletics not merely as it aids individuals physi- cal development. but as it enhances the value of intramural sports. The Yale board has long recognized that the general economic factors of in- creased costs and the rapid increase. both actual and proportionate, in the number of students participating in general athletics, would inevitably require increased financial revenue. With especial consideration and sup port Of the university's recently an- nounced plan to secure largely in- creased endowment for educational purposes the board has sought to conserve all essential university in terests.
 Many Expenses 'The recent provision Of ade- euate facilities for hockey and gen eral skating depends directly on increased financial income. The Ray Tompkins memorial property, given to the university to encour- age general student participation in outdoor athletics, such as golf, cross country running, skiing and other winter sports, offers unusual opportunities for developing gen. eral recreational facilities. Impor- tant capital expenditures must soon be made for additional tennis courts, for new track and baseball stands, and for replacing the pres ent track and baseball cages, which must be abandoned on account of the erection of the Sterling library. These are specific illustrations of the general situation.
 Conditions at Harvard. Prince ton and Yale differ in detail but agree fundamentally. It Is natural, therefore, that independent study of local needs has confirmed the support of a common policy and has brought unanimous agreement on the best means to support that policy while conserving essential financial support for university educational purposes"

Harvord and Princeton by which alumni will pay s5 for tickets to the "big three" games and members of the university community" will pay s2, said the step was necessary because of Princeton's policy of athletics for all.
 He said that the annual income from athletics must be increased or support withdrawn from teams and sports which are unable to operate without deficit
