At CACLITIIMNT WEEKLY PRINCETON LETTER. Captain Baird Resigns, Kelly Will Fill His Place—Eligibility Rules. [Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEFKLY.] Princeton, N. J., February 9.—The undergraduate body of Princeton re- ceived a genuine surprise Saturday in the announcement from athletic sources that Baird had resigned the captaincy of the football team, and that Kelly had been elected to succeed him. This proceeding took place Thursday night, and the football men maintained abso- lute silence on the subject, so that the fact was not known until after the meet- ing of the Graduate Advisory Athletic Committee which met Saturday and ratified the election. Baird’s resigna- tion was brought about by failing health. He has been in poor condition . physically since the Yale-Princeton game, Noveimber 2oth. The College regrets very much to ‘lose Baird, so much had been expected ‘of him next season. Still, Kelly is a man in whom all Princeton will have absolute confidence, and but for his own opposition it is quite likely that he would have been elected to this position instead of Baird, at first. Kelly’s power. over the men in a game was splendidly exemplified in the last Yale- Princeton game, when Cochran and Baird had been forced to retire. He is now a Senior, but will return to Col- lege for post graduate work next Fall. Princeton has accepted the invitation of the Brown University Athletic As- sociation to send three delegates to a conference of College men on Feb- ruary 10th. It is understood that the meeting is called for the purpose of discussing the advisability of formulat- ing uniform athletic eligibility rules for all the leading Eastern Colleges, and Princeton is heartily in accord with this movement. Princeton has appointed the following delegates to represent her: Prof. Henry B. Fine, chairman of the Faculty Advisory Committee on Athletics, on behalf of the Faculty; W. H. Andrus, ’97, University Athletic Treasurer, on behalf of the alumni, and Cook, ’99, next season’s foot- ball manager, on behalf of the under- graduates. The second term of the University will begin February 10, and as soon thereafter as possible the baseball can- didates will be called out. The Cap- tain and Manager of this year’s baseball team have decided to institute a new method of coaching the men this year. Heretofore it has been the custom to engage the services of a National League player for the first month of the season, and after he had gone let the sole responsibility for coaching the team rest upon the Captain. This year there will be no League player regularly engaged. Some League man may be with the team a few days prior to the more important games, but beyond this all the coaching will be done by grad- uates. Jerome Bradley, ’97, has been engaged to serve as head coach, and he will be assisted by Jayne, the leading pitcher on the Ninety-Seven nine. These men had four years of experience with college baseball, and know perfectly well how to deal with college players. This new scheme is expected to yield good results. Manager Harrison Hall, of the Ninety-Seven football team, submitted his report to the Graduate Advisory Committee Saturday. He reported a balance of $1,000 from the season’s re- ceipts. Of course most of this came from the Yale game. The total receipts were $16,500. “Outing” for February. The contents of Outing for February are: “Doris,” by: Sara. B.

Thurston, ’98; Mathew Mills, 1900; L. T. Stone, ’99 S.; and A. H. Richardson, Igor. <> _ a. _ Law School Chess Club. A meeting of men in the Law School who are interested in either checkers or chess was held last week and a club was formally organized with the fol- lowing officers: President, J. K. Blake, 98 L. S.; Vice-President, E. P. Arvine, *99 L. S.; Secretary and Treasurer, H. B. Augur, 1900 L. S._ By increasing the interest in chess the Law School hopes to furnish members of the University teams in future years. A chess tourna- ment is at present in progress, the win- ner of which will challenge the winner of the inter-class tournament. The Club was originally intended as a checker club, but there were so many men interested in chess in the School that it was thought more advisable to combine rather than establish two clubs.
