Robertson sald as much to a friend in Priladelphia when he was asked about his plans for the future in' case athletics ‘became a dead issue at the Quaker college, Robertson’ is° well qualified to take a comniission in the army, and especially in the heavy artillery branch, in which he served two en- listments as a member of the Thir- teenith coast artillery of Brooklyn. ‘He held the rank of sergeant when he took his discharge from the New York national guard and could easily have |'n risen to a commission, as did Harry the military units which have been preparing for service under Major Pickering.

The opening game of the home sea- son in the Triangular league for the ‘High school, will be played at Walnut Hill Park tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock with the fast New Haven High school aggregation the opponent. Coach Moorhead has 'been at work overy minute that the weather would permit shaping the locals for this important contest, and he is hopeful of victory. One more of. the promising candi- dates for the outfleld has been rele- sated to the bench through the study defliciency-route, Burns, the hard hitting, fleet footed left flelder, hav- ing been declared ineligible by the faculty. Barton .and Bradley .who were put out under the same ban several weeks ago, ha failed to meet requirements as yet. ‘Ward who worked on the mound in the game with Chicopes, Mass., two ‘weeks ago, will probably be the pitch- ing selection tomorrow, with Connolly on the receiving end, The infleld will be cared for by Captain Crowe, at third base; Kopf, at shortstop; Giana, at second base and Hannon, ‘at the initial station. In the outfleld Sulli- van and James Connolly will cavort, with the selection of the third player in doubt. Edmund Crowley will hold the indicator. AWAIT AN ANSWER Nothing Has Becn Heard From Crim- son Authorities cnmu'nhc Base- ball Game With Yale, New Haven, May 4.—~—Harvard's athletic authorities have not yet acted upon the suggestion from Yale that teams representing the Crimson and Blue play & series of at ' least two games later in the spring. While Fred ‘W. ‘Moore declines to forecast any possible decision, it is not regarded as unlikely that it enough players can.be found to insure a fairly repre- sentative team the Yale suggestion will be met. If one game or a series of games is arranged it is hardly like- ly. rules .of scholastic and one-year residence eligibility will be followed, | the tendency being to adjust condi- tons to the present situation, which. to say the least, is hardly normal In other words, membership of the teams would follow the linies of rather com- prehensive adjustment. A Harvard writer playfully sug- gests that, in accordance with stipu- lations as laid down for the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, an age limit of twenty years and nine months be applied- to the nines. Mr. Moore says that if the games are played there is the possibility that participants will be restricted to those who are mem- bers of the training corps at the two universities, and that in any event players will not receive varsity letters. Captain Abbot, of the nine, is anxious for the series to be played, and thinks that a strong nine could be fcrmed from among the undergrad- uates body. Harvard at present has not been able to install her proposed system of games within the college walls, and neither has Princeton—a scrub team of that university, Row- ever, having played two preparatery school teams—but Yale and Dart- mouth appear to have made marked progress in developing intra-mural athletic activities. A series ameong the various companies of the Dart- mouth regiment is now going forward and the games are characterized by great interest on the part both of th participants and the student body.
