YALE BASEBALL GAME POSSIBLE

The Yale baseball team has written to the Athletic Association suggesting that one or possibly two baseball games be arranged and played about June 1. This suggestion is now under consideration by the University baseball authorities and the Athletic Committee. As yet no definite decision has been reached, but it is expected that some arrangement will be made before the end of the week. If a game, or a series, are staged, the eligibility rules and certain other arrangements that have been adhered to in the past will no doubt be waived in order to adjust the membership of the teams to the conditions at the universities caused by the War. In the first place the one year residence rule would probably not hold. This agreement provides that no student may be a member of a university athletic team unless he has finished at least one year of residence. It may also be found advisable to fix an age limit for members of the teams. If this were done, 20 years and nine months would be the maximum age of contestants.

In an interview with a CRIMSON reporter yesterday afternoon, F. W. Moore '93, treasurer of the Athletic Association, declined to make any statement as to the advisability of these games. In regard to further provisions under which the contests would be played, he said, "It is very probable that, should these games be arranged, competitors will be restricted to those who are members of the training corps at the two universities. Furthermore, competitors will not be awarded their letter."

Captain G. E. Abbot '17 has stated that he hopes it will be possible to arrange the series, but that if any games should be played they would, of course, be only very informal contests.

If the games are played, admission will either be free, or, if a charge is made, the net proceeds from the series will be donated to the Red Cross fund
