ATHLETIC COMMITTEE VOTED FAVORABLY FOR FORMAL BUT RESTRICTED SPORTS

Last night the University Athletic Committee decided in favor of the resumption of formal intercollegiate athletics this spring, on a restricted scale.

Also, the Committee favored a series of baseball games to be played, if possible, during the coming season between the University, Yale and Princeton. No Class Day or Commencement Day athletic contests will be scheduled, however, and, if the present arrangements for games with teams from neighboring cantonments are carried out, no athletics will be scheduled with any colleges other than Yale and Princeton.

The Athletic Committee also decided in favor of scheduling crew races and track meets with Yale and Princeton, provided such contests can be satisfactorily arranged. In these sports as in baseball, however, the question of schedules with service teams will have to be reckoned with in arranging for intercollegiate matches.

No action was taken at this meeting in regard to football next fall.

Professional Coaches to Remain.

Furthermore, it was voted that professional coaching at the University should continue as far as the coaches now under contract are concerned, and in consequence baseball, crew and track will continue this spring under the same direction as heretofore.

It is probable that the war-time plan of awarding no insignia to the members of University teams and crews will be adhered to during the remainder of the war.

Busy Season for Baseball.

The triangular series of baseball games, as planned, will cover a period of nine weeks, each college meeting its opponents three times. Thus, with a certain number of service games on its schedule, the University nine will have a busy season ahead.

The meeting was presided over by Dean Briggs. The following members of the Athletic Committee were present: Dean Yeomans, Professor Dunnam Jackson '08, R. E. Gross '19, and A. F. Tribble' 19, as well as Captain F. W. Moore '93, graduate treasurer of the Athletic Association.

The inability of Robert Herrick '90 to be present resulted in the lack of finality in the arrangements for the rowing season.
