Athletics at Yale.

The step taken by the captains and managers of the different athletic teams in regard to confining athletics to undergraduates is causing considerable discussion at Yale. The intercollegiate football association took this step recently to go into effect next fall and now the heads of the various athletic associations at Yale have adopted the same plan to go into effect immediately. This was done without any authority save the advice of the Yale Advisory Committee. In view of this action the Yale Law School, which according to this new rule is entirely shut out from athletic teams, held a meeting the object of which was to urge a meeting of the entire university to vote whether or not the captains and managers have the right to pass such rules. This meeting will be held tonight and it is generally known that if the students do not ratify the action taken by the representatives then, the captains and managers of the different teams will resign. It is highly improbable that the rule will be ratified inasmuch as a large majority; of the undergraduates have already approved the plan.
