No. 26.
ATHLETIC COLUMN.
EDITOR, R. R. WHITMAN.
The following by Howell Cheney, secretary of the Yale Athletic Association, is a concise and interesting statement of the method of managing the base ball interests at Yale.
The officers of the base ball association are elected by a meeting of the whole University. The president of the association is the manager of the ball team.
Immediately after the last game which occurs in June at Commencement, the members of the nine choose, by secret vote, the captain for the following year. The captain arranges the time for practice. Each candidate for a position on the nine, bats in the cage three times a week; and when the weather permits out-door work, beginning about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they run about fifteen minutes, then return to the cage and work on sliding and ground balls. When good weather comes they work two hours a day at the Field besides batting. The cage for batting in good weather is a frame work about 50x10 feet; cov-red with streng netting which reduces running after batted balls to a minimum. The captain selects the men, reducing the number of candidates as he sees fit.
Men in athletics are treated exactly the same in their studies as any one else, except that the 'Varsity teams are allowed a limited number of extra cuts. However they must stand examinations just as though they had attended all the recitations so that it is really harder for them than for others.
It is now over a month since the temporary organization of the state athletic association was perfected. If any thing is to be done this spring it must be done immediately. The secretary of the association, Mr. Tucker, of Washburn, was to draw up a constitution and present it to the various college associations for adoption. Surely five weeks is time enough to draw up such a simple constitution as was required, yet it has not been done or else has not been presented. The officers of the association should have the constitution presented for adoption immediately. Then offer a pennant for base ball, tennis and what other sports it may be deemed advisable to include. The colleges wishing to compete could then signify their intention to do so, and a schedule of games might be arranged
In purchasing the suits for our representatives in athletics care should be taken to get the caps and belts at least, in the University colors, corn yellow and blue. These colors work up nicely in the suits and will be a means of distinguishingly our players wherever they go. We ought to show our colors more, since before the last oratorical contest, few of our students knew what the colors were. This is a matter to which that the athletic board should pay immediate attention too.
NOTES
The pleasure trip of Mr. Perrichon is well under way. This
promises to be the event of the season.
Both the ball and tennis players were out preaching last Friday.
Harvard is tavoring a dual league with Yale on all sports.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton have advisory committees composed of alumni guiding, their athletics and have as yet experienced nothing but good results from them.
Our ball players are practicing daily. More work should be done in bathing however, as this is almost entirely neglected except on Friday and Saturdays.
Arrangements have been made with Graber for the use of his two rowing shells every afternoon until Commencement. The following teams have decided to practice regularly: W. W. Brown and Barber, Hadley and Robinson, Royster and Riddle, and Palmer and Robinson. We can expect to have an interesting race by Commencement.
The annual meeting of the Southwestern Tennis association will be held in Kansas City soon. The association is composed of the Linwood, Kansas City and Dykinton park clubs of Kansas City, St. Joseph Tennis Club, Topeka Tennis Club, El Dorado Tennis Club and K. S. U. Tennis Club, J. H. Farrish of St. Joseph is president of the asociation.
