AN ARRANGEMENT WITH YALE.

As the result of negotiations with Yale which have been going on for some time and which ended last week at a meeting between Professor Hollis and Mr. Walter Camp, an arrangement has been made for a conference between Harvard and Yale on the subject of the athletic rules and the best method of their enforcement. So far as is possible, it is hoped that the rules may be made alike at the two universities, with a view to avoiding differences of understanding and interpretation. There has been no break in the relations, and the baseball and track games and the crew races will be held as usual this spring. For the present it is agreed that all differences in regard to questions about these contests, including questions of eligibility, shall be settled on a fair and equitable basis by representatives of the two universities. The date of the proposed conference has not yet been settled, but it will be held as soon as possible and will consider among other things, a term of years agreement, arbitration of questions that may arise in regard to athletic contests, eligibility rules, and a satisfactory channel of communication. Several weeks or months may be required to revise the rules in order to get the best out of them, but a final arrangement may be expected which will maintain friendly and uninterrupted sport in the future.
