But Coach Reid declares II was necessary
to safeguard Harvard on account of the
new plays which are TO be used by his
rivals and the latter are just as determined
10 keep them concealed. Coach Reid says
he has been working a long time on plays
which he thinks will put Harvard to the
front and he does not propose to let other
universities send men to Soldiers Field to
copy his ideas free of cost. The same sem
timent exists at other universities, and on
this account the students and general pub
lie win see very little of their favorite
teams except in the games themselves.

panaceas for athletic crimes have already
proven themselves ineffective and more
dangerous than the ailments they were
supposed to remedy. Many professors who
were especially active in knocking the
