At the monthly meeting of the Committee on Athletics, held in University Hall on Wednesday evening, important decisions were made which will affect many of the organized sports in the University.

A revised baseball coaching system was mong the several changes authorized by the committee. Coach John Slattery will continue to head the baseball coaching staff, as his re-engagement was authorized by the committee at its October meeting. As in previous years, he will be assisted by a coach for the second University baseball team and one for the Freshmen. In addition, the committee authorized the appointment of a coach who will devote his time wholly to the coaching and development of pitchers.

To coordinate the work of the Freshman and the second team coaches with the University coaching, the committee endorsed a recommendation of the Baseball Advisory Committee that the Graduate Treasurer's office, through T. J. Campbell '12, the assistant Graduate Treasurer, supervise the coaching of the various baseball squads. Mr. Campbell will not take part in any of the active coaching, but will serve as a general superviser to promote cooperation among the coaches and make sure that all the coaches are working to perfect the same system.

Action Deferred on Polo

In regard to the proposition that polo, which is now sponsored by the Military Science department, be officially recognized as a minor sport, the committee decided to take no action and referred the question to the Student Council for consideration and report at their first meeting early in January.

It was also voted to discontinue the gymnasium team as a minor sport for the present, owing to the fact that interest in that activity has been dwindling at the University in recent years.

Lacrosse Sees Changes

The appointment of a new coach for the lacrosse team, Mr. L. F. Herbert, formerly of Syracuse, was authorized by the committee on Wednesday.

The spring lacrosse schedule was also considerably reorganized. It was voted that the usual Southern trip of the lacrosse team during the spring vacation be eliminated this year. Instead, an invitation from Syracuse asking the University lacrosse team to spend the first few days of the recess in informal practice in the Syracuse stadium was accepted. An effort will also be made to arrange the schedule so that the University team may meet Hobart and Cornell on Friday and Saturday of the same week instead of making an extra trip during term time as in former years.

University Wrestling

The formal appointment of Mr. William E. Lewis as coach of the wrestling team to succeed last year's coach, Mr. Frank Judson, who has left the University to resume professional work in Chicago was confirmed.

The University wrestling schedule was approved, as follows:

Friday, January 11.--Boston Y. M. C. U. at Cambridge.

Saturday, January 19.--Columbia at New York.

Saturday, February 16.--Norwich at Northfield, Vt.
