For several years there has been a strong feeling in the Committee that in the actual games the baseball team, however thoroughly trained beforehand by the coach, should be thrown on its own responsibility and that the exigencies of the game should be met, not by the coach, but by the captain. The authorities at Yale and Princeton had for some time believed in just such a change, and had proposed it earlier in the year...
