WORRY OVER THEIR COACHES

Question of Professionals Coming Up at Yale and Harvard—Billy Lush at Yale. Yale and Harvard have delayed the announcement of their baseball coaching plans for next season, not because of difficulties in selecting their coaches, but because they have been engaged in thrashing out the problem of professional coaching. Agitation arose over the question after the Yale-Harvard series last season, and the two universities have beeh in correspondence .relative to the question of returning to a system of graduate coaching in baseball, as now obtains in football. Extreme secrecy has prevailed at Yale, but it is believed that an agreement has been reached, and that the appointment of professional coaches will be made as usual. The delay has been occasioned because President Hadley of Yale has been in Europe, and no settlement could be reached until his return. . It Is understood that Harvard is willing to return to graduate coaching In baseball, but that Yale had quite enough of the experiment two years ago. It Is expected that Billy Lush will be elected coach at Yale, although Capt. Corey of the nine says that nothing is settled. ? Lush, who was 111 with typhoid fever during the fall, is now at work coaching the basketball team. He had charge of the nine last spring which defeated Harvard; but lost the series to Princeton.
