THE ATHLETIC SITUATION.
The baseball game of last Saturday
at Princeton shows that the Yale Nine
can play the game in a form at least
equal to that of any college Nine in the
country. We believe, and we might as
well say it at the risk of seeming im-
modest, that no amateur nine in the
country could withstand the game
Yale played at Princeton last Sat-
urday, conditions being equal. Prince-
ton defeated Yale by playing _bet-
ter ball for one inning, which was just
the right time, and the magnificent rally
is one which évery Princeton man
should be proud of. But no nine could
make a rally like that once in a hundred
times, and when a comparison of the play
of the two teams is made, we must add
to what the score card shows, the plain
advantage to the men who overthrew
Yale of playing on home ground. The
fact does not detract from Princeton’s
splendid record, but adds to the credit
due Captain Camp and his men.
There is little more to be said. The
College will now expect the Nine to
play just as good ball in Cambridge
on the 21st, and. to do even better.
They must not strike out with the bases
full;
if it starts, by any measures which
the law allows; they must make. their
hits when they want them, and keep as
steady as church towers even in the
midst of chaos. Yale is proud of the
game played last Saturday by her Nine,
and expects to see it repeated and bet-
tered on the 2ist and on the 26th.
As for the College at large, it has be-
gun to improve its feeling. A sense of
individual responsibility is appearing and
more interest is being shown. The size
of the delegation to Princeton was
larger than for many years, though not
nearly so large as it ought to have been.
One fact at New Haven Saturday, was
very peculiar. To judge from the hand-
ful around the score board, the College
hardly knew that the game was being
played. Some explained it by saying
that the College expected defeat and did
not want to watch the score. But the
College has no business to expect defeat
any more than the Nine has a right to
go on the field and think there is any
possibility of coming off of it losers.
Yale is on the up road. There is more
good baseball material in College than
they must stop a batting streak —
Day. This date was
for years. Track athletics are more
promising than for at least a college
generation. There is unity and the right
spirit in the Crew, and the Crew is com-
ing into form. Football has not had
so bright an outlook for a long while.
All this is from the standpoint of what
has been done by men in charge of these
different interests and the athletes them-
selves. No one is so. foolish as to pre-
dict results, but we believe there has been
no time when there was so much reason
to expect the different Yale organiza-
tions to do work worthy of the traditions
of Yale than at the present moment. We
believe with all our heart that it will
be done. We also believe that any man
who fails to show the spirit of loyal sup-
port and confidence in those who repre-
sent Yale today, and to do his part,
whatever it may be, towards strengthen-
ing their hands and their spirit, will do
his little part towards preventing a result
which all devoutly pray for. If there
ever was a time when working together
had as much promise in it as it does
to-day, we cannot recall it.

How Yale Takes It.
{Yale News Editorial.
‘The attention of every graduate and
undergraduate in this land was centered
on our Nine at Princeton on Saturday.
They wanted, first of all, to see their
representatives play a plucky, gentle-
manly, clean-cut game of ball. In this
their hopes were gratified and it is be-
cause of this that they are so proud of
their Team to-day. In the second place,
they wanted to see Yale win. In this
they were disappointed.’ The occasion
was a great one at Princeton and our
men were not equal to it. They were
more than equal to it for eight innings,
but finally succumbed. The tremendous
enthusiasm displayed by the Princeton
supporters was only natural and should
not be misconstrued into an excuse for
our defeat. We cannot say we were
outplayed; but we can say we were
fairly and squarely beaten: The past
year has been the most successful in
Princeton’s history, from an_ athletic
standpoint, and she deserves congratula-
tions.
Of course it is not pleasant to lose.
A defeat such as was experienced at
Princeton on Saturday is certainly
chagrining. In spite of all this, we
venture to assert that, largely as a result
of that defeat, a brighter era is dawn-
ing and that the tide will soon turn.
The University is a unit in commending
the work of our Team on Saturday. Of
no other contest in which the Team has
taken part can this be truly said. Until
then there was always something which
somebody found to criticise. This atti-
tude has changed; those who were un-
loyal critics are, now, loyal supporters.
Everyone seems to be aroused to the
situation and to realize his personal re-
sponsibility. Mr. Camp, in his remarks
at the ALUMNI WEEKLY banquet, em-
phasized the need of this feeling of a
personal responsibility to good advan-
tage.
With such a spirit and such a Team
we cannot but feel encouraged as we
look to the games which are to follow.
It is no longer necessary to urge men to
enthuse; every man is stirred to the
very fibres. We are all ready to help
all we can to win the Harvard series
and hereby offer our services.

Nathan Hale Celebration.
Wednesday, June 6, was celebrated in
East Haddam, Conn., as Nathan Hale
chosen as bein
one hundred and forty-fifth diet Tee
of Hale’s birth, and as making two hun-
dred years since the town was separated
from old Haddam on the west side of
the river. In the morning at Good-
speed’s Opera House, the townspeople
held exercises commemorative of their
anniversary, and in the afternoon oc-
curred the dedication of the Nathan
Hale school-house under the auspices of
the New York and Connecticut Socie-
ties of the Sons of the American Revo-
lution. After the morning program was
finished, a bronze bust of Hale, stand-
ing on the spot where the school house
was originally located, was unveiled and
presented to the town.
After a beautiful luncheon at Maple-
wood Hall, the procession marched to
the newly formed Nathan Hale Memo-
rial Park surrounding the school house.
The building has been used for a dwell-
ing house for a number of years, but
was recently presented to Richard Henry
Greene of New York City, by whose
efforts it was moved to its present site
overlooking the Connecticut River. It
was in this house that Nathan Hale first
taught school after his graduation from
Yale in 1773. Several thousand people
were present and among them many
guests from all parts of Connecticut and
New York City. Large delegations
from both the New York and Connecti-
cut branches of the S. A. R. came on
two special trains. Governor Lounsbury
and staff in full uniform, and the First
Company Governor’s Foot Guards of
Hartford were present, Colt’s Band of
Hartford, and the famous Moodus Drum
Corp, in their old Continental uniforms,
furnished music. The day was all the
more interesting to Yale men becatse
of the alumni who were among the
speakers. They were Judge Francis M.
Finch, ’49, of Ithaca, N. Y.; Richard
H. Greene, ’62, of New York; Gov.
George E. Lounsbury, ’62, of Connecti-
cut; ex-Gov. Morgan G. Bulkeley, Hon.
"So; and Francis H. Parker, 76'L.S. of
Hartford; William E. Nichols, ’86, of
East Haddam, and Rollin U. Tyler, ’86,
of Haddam. The school house is to he
maintained and kept as the annual meet-
ing place of the Connecticut Sons of the
American Revolution.

Sophomore Societies.
The Faculty have allowed it to be
known that no action by that body on
the matter of Sophomore Societies need
be expected the present term. The posi-
tion of the Faculty is that the Societies,
by virtue of the fact that they have not
been allowed to take in any new mem-
bers, are in a state of virtual suspension.
They believe that the members of the
Societies are anxiously seeking the best
solution of the case, and that the time
of the Summer vacation will give all
who are interested an opportunity to
reach the safest conclusion. They do
not wish to take a step which will
antagonize the students, and still much
prefer to have them settle the matter
themselves. This, they are confident,
will eventually be accomplished. Some-
thing detinite is looked for early next
Fall. :
