Walker is well known ‘in Connecticut having been manager of the New Haven Colonial baseball team several years ago, giving up that post to become coach of the Willlams = Collegé eleven. ~Walker turned out the only championship team at Williams since 1852. He was formerly a pitcher for the " St. Louis Nationals and when war broke out took up Y. M. C. A. work. Some time ago, Walter Camp chose Walker as an athletic director, and he was as- signed by the United States Naval authorities to direct athletics at ghe New port Training Station. The big football contest which wil be waged between the two teams in the Yale Bowl was originally sched- uled to be played in New York on the same date, but the game was trans- ferred to New Haven at the request of Judge Samuel E.
