YALE'S “ ROUGH PLAY.” An Eighty-three MWan’s Analysis of the Oft-heard Charge. - John Franklin Crowell writes to the Springfield Republican, in answer to a contribution which appeared there in its columns signed “Yale, ’64.” This latter communication criticised the play of the Yale Basketball team in that city, and declared that this qual- ity of rough play discredits Yale’s whole record in athletic’ contests. Mr. Crowell replied as follows: “I beg to differ with him. Rough- “hess is an essential quality of a game of athletic prowess, and it is only a question of degree. I have no objection to anybody’s playing ‘a clean and gen- tlemanly game;’ in fact, I admire LE; but roughness and gentlemanliness play different parts entirely in such engagements. The policy of Yale is usually to act on the aggressive—to push the fight with more spirit than her opponents. She will undoubtedly appear rougher, by contrast, than her rival. If Yale and the Yale spirit mean anything as a type of college character they mean equal conditions and fair play in contests. On these conditions and within these limits she always means to make the most of the oppor- tunity, That I take it, is. what our whole civilization means, namely, that on given conditions, opportunity is the watchword of America. Now, if any player or the team in general did not keep within these limits and conditions — (which is nowhere alleged), then it was the business of the referee or umpire to enforce the rules embodying these conditions. But if the Yale team respected these requirements of the game, and won, then I think it is with no good grace at all that detraction is made on the ground of roughness in an essentially rough game. Zeal may of- ten be too strong to make sure of the proprieties of the drawing-room in such contests. Every player understands that, and generallly leaves the matter there; he thinks no evil of his antagon- ist. But the delusion, for which every Yale graduate ought to carry a loaded gun, consists in the habit of mind into which some have fallen of crediting Yale’s athletic voctories to ‘roughness’ and her defeats to ‘superiority of her . opponent’s team.’ That is rankest kind of prejudice—it is not to be dignified or sanctified by calling it ‘manners or morals;’ the wrong is in the mind of the critic, not in the manner of play- ers. And I protest, therefore, against the idea that aggressiveness and spir- ited playing, however rough, short of injury, are to be taken as detracting an iota from the moral tone of any team, or that Yale men are dishonor- ably low in ethical quality as teams because they play a rough game. Un- less referees and umpires are dum- mies, it is the Christian. duty of every player to play as vigorously as the law allows, knowing the roughness without right playing could never win a man a place on a team, much less win a vic- tory for any team.’’ ———_~+09—___—_ Baseball Dates with Harvard and Princeton. The University Baseball Management has definitely arranged the dates for games with Harvard and Princeton for this season. The -first game with Har- vard will be played in Cambridge, June 24. or in case of rain, June 26. The second will be played in New Haven, June 29, or in case of rain, June 30. If these two games result in a tie the third game will be played July 3, on neutral grounds. The Princeton games will be held June 5, at New Haven and June 12 at Princeton, and in case a third game 1s necessary, it will be played in New York, June 19. _ The remaining games of the schedule have not been definitely settled upon but will be published soon, “Wate arvard”’. .<.. THE CHICAGO BANQUET, An Enthusiastic Weeting—The Toasts and Speakers, One hundred members of the Chica- go Yale Alumni Association met at the University Club, Friday evening, Feb- ruary 26, for the thirty-first annual din- ner. The committee in charge had spared no pains to provide an unsually attractive program, and the appreci- ation shown by the entire assembly proved that their efforts were thorough- ly successful. That portion of the opening address of President Washington Hesing, ’70, which received the closest attention, were his remarks on the need of in- struction in journalism at Yale. While referring to the graduate department, he said: ‘‘History, advanced mathe- matics, political and _ social science, music, fine art and kindred subjects have each a place. But the time is now apt for at least one more, and it should have definite recognition and applica- tion. I refer to journalism. Do I assert too much if I say that there is need of cultivated brain and trained talent in that line of work? It does not seem so to me. The day of the penny-a-liner and the man who lives by his wits is passed. The scissors, the sensational reporter and the Arizona kicker have no legiti- mate place in the calling, nor have we use any more for the mere politician or newsgatherer. “Risen to the dignity of a distinct profession by sheer force or natural ability in its ranks, what we still want, what the colleges must furnish, are especially educated men, in whose hands the power of the press may be intelligently exercised. Public morals, public opinion and all the questions of to-day are fit for the best writers and thinkers that can be produced for the purpose. And in all its efforts, present and future. there is no greater accom- plishment to which Yale University can attain than in an undertaking such as this—the putting forth of a race of cul- tured journalists.” Henry E. Mason, ’89, acted as toast- master and introduced the following speakers: “ee sence Of. Yale”... i... (ee. .........;.J00nn, Patton, Jr., ?75 “Princeton University” ..David B.

Norton, ’65, at the beginning of his speech, joined ina silent toast to the memory of the deeply regretted ex- President of the Association. The mention by Harvard’s represen- tative of his pleasure in the treaty brought to pass by Prime Minister Brooks and Secretary Camp, was re- ceived with tumultuous applause. Mr. Lee said further: ‘‘Above all things, the enthusiasm of Yale men for Yale appeals to us. “Only the noblest things are capable of inspiring such devotion. How grand must the University be that inspires in its sons. such a royal love!’’ : Among those present were: Wash- ington Hesing, ’70; John Patton, Jr., "75: Joseph H. Andrews, ’59; John W.
