Trafford has been reelected captain of
the Harvard football team and his first
official act has been to deny over his own
signature that the Yale men knew the
Harvard signals in the game at Spring
field. The Yale men in the Harvard Law
school have been accused of giving Capt.

men in play, but Capt. Trafford says he
does not believe there is any ground
whatever for the accusation, as the Yale
men at Harvard acted in thoroughly
sportsmanlike manner throughout and
voluntarily agreed TO keep away from the
practise games.
