...move to give the game back to the players has aroused considerable comment among athletic officials and sporting editors. Regarded as an experiment by the majority of them they recall the series of 1914 when the round robin series between Harvard. Yale, and Princeton, handled in the same way, was the cause of quite a bit of ill-feeling on the part of the players and undergraduates. The subsequent year the plan was dropped...
...understood that the Yale Athletic authorities made the proposal to Bingham and that after consultation with Fred Mitchell, Crimson baseball coach, he decided to accept the invitation. So far Yale has been the only one of Harvard's opponents to make the above move and unless any other negotiations are made with the other colleges that the Crimson is to meet Mitchell will occupy his seat on the bench for those games...

Princeton last year had a similar agreement with Yale and several of its other opponents. At the meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in New York at the beginning of the year Yale made the proposal to its opponents in the Eastern Intercollegiate League to play their games under the foregoing provision. Pennsylvania and Columbia accepted, but the remaining three colleges have as yet taken no action...

Wingate '14 and having H. R. Hardwick '15 and E. W. Mahan '16 on its roster. Yale's captain was J. T. Blossom, shortstop, and he piloted the Elis to victory...
...well to note, however, that this move to do away with coaches on the baseball bench is of no such radical nature as might be supposed. Tried before in the 1914 series between Harvard and Yale it succeeded in producing three games of good ball. Also of favorable omen is the success of last year to the extent that Princeton now proposes its extension to other major opponents...
