NEW HAVEN, November 3.—With tribute paid to the sportsmanship of | the late Walter Camp, a great memorial to the father of modern foot ball was dedicated at Yale today. A massive gateway leading to the Yale bowl and athletic fields forms the memorial given by American colleges and schools, uniting with graduates of Yale to honor Camp “and the traditions of American college sport which he ex- emplified.” 2 Delivering the principal address, E. K. Hall of Dartmouth, chairman of the National Collegiate Athletic Association committee in charge of the plans for the memorial, praised the spirit prompt- ing participation by other colleges and Praises Understanding. o Mr. Hall, a life-long friend of Walter Camp and head of the foot ball rules committee, came, he said, to speak of a man who understood as few men have the American boy. “No man has done more for American sport than Walter Camp, but his great- ards of sportsmanship,” he declared. “No man has done more to build up the code which, if we preserve it, will keep our sports clean and wholesome for all time and maintain these sports as one of the powerful sources of our Nation's strength and our national character. “That is why this monument is here. That is ‘why the schools and colleges of the country rejoice today in having shared the privilege of building this memorial.” Prof. George Nettleton, chairman of the board of control of the Yale Ath- letic Association, presided and intro- duced S. F. B. Thorne, Yale '96, chair- man of the Yale committee. After Mr. Hall's address President Angell accepted the memorial for the university. Movement Began in 1925. ‘The movement for the Camp memo- rial was started in 1925, when the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association, acting in behalf of its own members and other colleges and schools of the country, voted to co-operate with the alumni of Yale in the erection of a memorial to Camp in recognition of his distinguished contribution to Ameri- can college sport and sportsmanship. The -association appointed a commit- tee, made up of one member from each of nine districts and six at large, which raised one-half the amount of money necessary for the memorial, the alumni of Yale contributing the remainder. The movement attracted participation from 224 colleges and universities and resenting 45 States and Hawaii, to- gether with leading associations of foot ball officials and track coaches of the country.

Weller as president of the Catholic Charities at the annual meet- ing of the agency last night in the Wil- lard Hotel, when speakers outlined the reasons for forming an alliance with the Community Chest movement in the District. Right Rev. Mgr. P, C. Gavan, a di- rector of the Catholic Charities, de- clared that improved methods of raising funds practiced by the Community Chest movement and increased demands upon the treasury of the Catholic group were deciding factors underlying af- filiation with the Community Chest. He expressed the opinion, also, that the movement would result in more money being raised for Catholic charities work than formerly. Other officers chosen at the meeting were Dr. John O'Grady, director; Dr. L. J. Sheehan, assistant director; Dr. H. J. Crosson, vice president; Joseph D. Sulivan, secretary, and Adam A. Wesch- ler, treasurer. Four new members were added to the board of directors as follows: Dr. C. P. Neill, Daniel J. Callahan, J. Hadley Doyle and George Cleary,” Dr. L. J. Eheehnn was elected ex-officio mem- er. Other re-elected members of the board are Henry J. Auth, James E. Colliflower, Rev. Eugene Connelly, Charles W. Darr, Mgr. P. C. Gavan, James H. Johnson, jr.; Arthur I. May, George H. O’Connor, George Potter, Hugh Reilly, B. F. Saul, John Walsh, Frank R. Weller and Ray- mond Wise. As director of Catholic Charities, Dr. O'Grady last night urged those interest- ed to make every effort to raise funds under -the new plan. He declared that earlier in the year he felt there was a better method than through the Com- munity Chest to raise funds for the Catholic organization. “I am just as willing to work now in behalf of the chest as I was formerly opposed to our participation in the movement,” he said. “I am convinced it will reach n;ore people and get larger contribu- tions.” BUYS U.
