“YALE CONSOLIDATED” TEAM.
The football eleven captained by
George Foster Sanford, formerly a
scudent in Yale,.and managed by
Harry Durant, a graduate of the Law
depariment, played three games in the
follows: December 25, at
Sanford’s eleven 38,
Nashville A. C., 6 December 28 at
Jackson, Tenn., Sanford’s eleven 38,
Scuthwestern Baptist University, 4.
December 29 at Birmingham, Boigns
Sanford's eleven, 30; Birmingham A. C.
0. The make-up of this eleven is as
follows: Center, Avery, a member of
the graduate department, who has
never been connected with football at
Yale; right guard, Hotchkiss, formerly
a member of the Crescent Athletic.
Club eleven, now captain of the Water-
bury Y. M. C. A. team; right tackle,
Tyler, who played tackle on last year’s
Princeton team, and was first substi-
tute this season; right end, Manifold,
a student in the Yale Law School, and
for a short time on the “college side’”’
in football practice this fall; left
guard, G. Foster Sanford, also played
center on the University eleven in 1891;
left tackle, Church, tackle on the
Princeton ‘eleven for the past two
yeais; leit end, Sedgwick, a member
of the Brown University base ball
nine last season; quarterback, Wilson,
Captain of this ydast’s Wesleyaneleven;
hnaifbacks,nammond, a graduate ofthe
Yale Medical school, and first substi-
tute on the °95 eleven, and Lyon, who
comes from Central College; fullback,
Tucker, a Prirceton undergraduate,
but not on the Princeton eleven.
A glance at the line-up of the team,
which was given to the Yale Weekly
by Captain Sanford, shows the con-
nection of Yale with the eleven. Four
of the team have been- or are at
present students in the University in
the graduate departments, while three
Princeton undergraduates took part in
the games, and one each from Brown,
Wesleyan and Central College.
Captain Sanford in speaking of the
use of the name ‘Yale Consolidated, ’
says that it was never the intention
of the management to have the team
pose as a representative of Yale in any
way. At the opening of negotiations
with the southern managers Captain
Sanford offer:d to take down a team
composed of Yale men, but found after
interviewing the football players
whom he considered good enough, that
they would have nothing whatever to
do with the trip. He therefore noti-
fied the managers of the opposing
teams that his eleven would be picked
principally from outside sources. He
says that he ‘vas therefore much as-
tonished to find on arriving at Nash-
ville, that the team was widely ad;
vertised as the regular Yale football
eleven and that he refuted this state
ment immediately and says that it
was made clear to the public before
the game bevan, Liial ile Leal Was in
no way representative of Yale.
Mr. Sanford further said that the
games were made social events and that
only the very high prices ($1.50 for regu-
lar seats and $4.00 for box seats) held the
size of the crowd down to between 1,500
and 2,000. He added that the press re-
ports of crowds between 10,000 and
20,000 were entirely erroneous.
Although the manager had expected
to clear more than the bare expenses of
the trip, Mr. Sanford said that it would
not be a great success from a financial
standpoint. It was added that the play-
ers would receive no share of the profits.

SOUTHERN COLLEGES ACTED,
The Southern Intercollegiate  Asth-
letic Association, at a meeting before
the holidays, adopted the following re-
garding the trip:
““‘Whereas it has come to the notice
of the Association that a team pur-
porting torepresent Yale University is
about to makea trip in the Scuth, and
that said team has made arrangements
for playing a series of football games
with athletic clubs and colleges; and
whereas the Southern Intercollegiate
Association looks with disfavor upon
the proposed southern trip of the
‘Yale Consolidated’ football team, re-
garding such a trip as detrimental to
the best interests of intercollegiate

University—therefore. be it resolve!
by the Southern Intercollegiate Ath-

of this Association be allowed to play
any college team unless such team is
vouched for by the authorities of the
college it purports to represent; (2)

The Southern Football Trip.
[Caspar Whitney in Harper's Weekly.]
The prompt action of Yale’s Athletic
authorities in condemning the unwar-
ranted -use of the University name by
winter-touring elevens composed of ex-
college football players—who have be-
come professionals—is highly commen-
datory. It is, however, only what
we expected, for Yale is very sound
in her ideas of amateur sport. Foot-
ball players and undergraduates gen-
erally have been warned against join-
ing the so-called ‘‘Yale Consolidated’’
eleven on its proposed Southern tour,
and Yale men have shown their good
sportsmanship by not only supporting
the authorities, but by expressing, in-
dividually and collectively, their un-
qualified disapproval of such schemes.
Be arg gee a
Roby has been re-elected Captain of
the University of Chicago football
team. Herschberger’s name was pre-
sented, but he withdrew.

Brown-Princeton Base Ball
Arrangements,
It is now reported from Providence
that the difficulties between the Browr
and Princeton athletic manarezients,
which resulted from a guarrel on the
baseball field in the spring of 1894 and
have caused a complete rupture in
athletic relations between the two uni-
versilies ever since, have been patched
up, and that two baseball games have
been arranged for next season. The
two dates arranged by Managers By-
ron S. Watson of Brown, and B. H.
Thompson of Princeton, are May 8,
at Princeton, and June 2, at Prov:-
dence. In case a tie results from
these two meetings, it is very probable
that a third game will be arranged on
neutral grounds.
The last meeting between and two
athletic teams of these Universities
took place on the baseball field at
Providence on May 12, 1894. The
game was very close, neither team
having any material advantage. Sev-
eral decisions of the umpire were
questioned and led to more or less pro-
tracted discussions, which threatened
to bring the game to a premature end.
Finally, in tthe seventh inning, when
the Brown captain. insisted upon
changing his pitcher and delayed the
game in order to give the new man
a chance to limber up, Captain King of
Princeton, took violent offense to the
proceeding and led his team off the
field. Thus the game was never fin-
ished, and ever since that day the
relations between Brown and Prince-
ton have not been of the most friendly
character, The Ninetr-seven man-
agers have now allowed this unpleas-
ant event to lie forgotten, and have
agreed to resume the baseball con-
tests, in which entirely new teams
will take part with more friendly feel-
ings toward each other,

The Baseball Committee of the Uni-_
versity of Pennsylvania has announced
that Jesse Allen has been re-enaged
to coach the University nine, Prac-
tice will have to be started much
earlier this year than last on account
of the Southern trip to be taken dur-
ing the Easter vacation.
