A few words concerning the men who are to battle for the Bcarlet and cream will probably bo of Interest to follow ers of the game. Hewitt, oaptaln and center, played with the team last year, and his height makes him a valuable man In his posi tion. Elliott, forward, Is playing his first year on the Varsity, but he has had considerable experience on minor teams. He Is playing a good game and quite creditably fills the vacancy caused by the loss of Cortelyou. Ferguson, forward, Is doing good work, and with a little more exper ience will make a strong man. Hlltner, guard and manager of the team, another first year man, has played basket ball for some time, be ing captain of the scrubs during the lasj two season. He plays a strong, steady game. Hoar, guard, is showing up well In .. s position. Benedict, guard, played a splendid game on tho L. H. S., and although this Is his first year on tho varsity his playing Indicates that he will prove to be a valuable addition to the team.

The committee consists of Lieut Kimball, chairman; Capt. Farney, master of ceremonies, and N. E. Buckley, H. N. Hlgglns, R. B. Da vidson and M. S. .Mather. Y. M. C. A. at Yale Tho Yalo Y. M. C. A. Is tho only similar organization In the country or ganized on a university basis. Tho extent of tho work several year ago demanded that some such division bo made and now each dopartmont has Its own association, although all Is under the direction of tho university council, composed of tho university general secretary, tho secretaries and presidents of tho different departments, tho university treasurer and the de partment committeemen. Under this organization there are tho following departments: Academic department, Sheffield scientific dopartmont, divinity school department, law schol and medical school departments. Tho aca demic department and tho Sheffield de partments each has its own general secretary. The graduate schools to gether have a general secretary and the university general secretary sus tains advisory relations to all, while also having charge of whatever work concerns the university as a whole. All the work except the scientific department has its home in Dwlght hall, which Is a large building erected on the campus for a 'center of tho re llgloua life of the university. Tho scleniitic school has similar quarters on Its campus. These buildings are both gifts of friends of tho universi ty. Tho work cajrled on by the associa tion Is In general similar to that dono by atudont associations In all Ameri can colleges, of which the work by the Nebraska association Is a good exam ple. Tho traditions of Yalo. however, have molded somewhat the character of ho work so It bears the peculiar mark of Yalo customs and Yale spirit. On account of tho dormitory life, which provides for the social necessities of the students, little social work Is car ried on by tho association. Outside of the regular features of Sunday evening addresses, Bible study and mis sionary work, the principal effort Is directed to philanthropic work In the city. This consists of city mission work of the nature of social settlement activities, boys' clubs, and various oth er kinds of religious work among the lower classes of the city. Consider able effort and money Is expended In this direction and the results obtained aro correspondingly large. Yale hnil Is a large building erected in the down town district to serve as a center for the social settlement work. On the whole the association is closely Identified with the genoral life of the university and Is the largest and most influential organization among the student body. C. C. NORTH, '02.
