YALE WANTS HOCKEY ADVANCED TO MAJOR SPORT. Blue Has Prospects of Brilliant S son. Raised to the standard of a major sport in Interest, quality of play and undergraduate enthusiasm, hockey will open what promises to prove its most successful season at Yale this week. Amons campus collegians the game is now generally ranked ahead of base- ball and track athletics, rowing and football alone outclassing it in uni- versity estimztion. It has not ye! however, been given rank as a for major sport but a move to supplant track athletics with it has been made and the undergraduates believe that the change will take place before many seasons. Yale undergraduates feel that hock- ey now occuples the entire winter sea- son, through the construction of arti- ficial ice rinks a number . of citles, with' " largely attended sames against all rival big universities, while track athletics_is confine to a coup! af rdeets early In the spring. Baseball is .alwuys in & snarl because of eligi- bility gualifications and hap been pro- bibited by many Northwestern uni- versities. Meanwhile .the “Y” will be given for track athletic winners and the “Y H. T.” (Yale Hockey team) instead of the simple, coveted “¥” for the mem- bers of the hockey team, although the Kockey players will draw some 50, 000 pecple to their 15 games this sea- son against 15000 to the three meets of tle track team, which include the intercollegiate games. Should Yale hockey team capture the intercolleglate title this winter a strong effort would be made to award the member of the team individually the “Y” which is the chief token of Yale athletic merit. The undergrad- vates would warmly _support such a move and it is now believed that the athletic committee would ultimately favor it. Undergraduates belleve that Yale's chances ~ for capturing an intercolle- glate title this winter are the bright- est in years, despite the failure of the team to defeat Princeton in more than one of the three games scheduled at Pittsburgh during the holiday vaca- tion.

He was recommended by Mana- ger Ed McDonough of the Utica club. Before leaving Philadelphia for his home in Fitchburg, Mass, Pat Maron, boss of Philliés, put in a bid or two for Chicago Cub players. Moran is delighted with the outlook and every- thing is in shape for the dash for St. Petersburg, Fla, March 1. Billy Murray, the San Francisco middieweight, who recently returned to his native besth from the Antipodes, is experiencing severe troubie with hig eyes. ‘Tt is with the utmost difficulty that Billy is able to get around, even though he wears eyeglasses.

This will be Brown's first bout in Australia and the result will be watched keenly by his Chicago friends.

The Phillies are on the hunt for young outfielders, realizing that in that department they are likely to be weakest in the next two years or so.
