Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 6.-Prof. h.
s. White. chairman of the Harvard
Athletic committee, made an unodi-
cial statement regarding Harvard's at
titude on football Prof. White said
that if the action of the football rules
committee is not radical enough Har-
ward will go it alone. Harvard is not
opposed to football as sport, he said,
but only as it was played during the
past season. The Harvard commit
tee will probably take some radical
action within the next two weeks. If
the game is changed it will be play
ed in Cambridge next fall. If it can
not be changed Harvard will not play
intercollegiate matches.
Prof. White said:
Football, as it was played last fall
we are opposed to. l cannot speak
officially or for the whole commit
tee. but l think am voicing the SEN
timents of the committee when
state that. We are not opposed to
football as a sport. We are only
opposed to the way it was played dur

GAGE SPEAKS OF PANIC.
Says Monetary Conditions In This
Country Are Dlsgracsful.

New York, Jan. S.-Lyman Gage,
former secretary of the treasury, said
that he agrees with Jacob Schif in
the opinion that great panic is inc
vitable unless steps are taken to
remedy the inelasticity of the exist
ing currency system.
81 agree positively with MT
Schiff," said Mr.. Gage, that the
monetary conditions which have ex-
listed in this country during the last
sixty days are disgraceful to us as a
nation and I further agree with him
that a stunning panic is but a mat
ter of time unless something is done
The more promptly and effectually
this is dore the better for the United
States.
I'm my opinion there is no imme'
date danger, but the danger itself
is apparent aud if the country s Is
massive under existing conditions The
country will suffer. l don't under
stand how any careful and thought
full financier can fail to realize the
peril"

IF GERMANY OBJECTS WAR
MAY COME OVER MOROCCO

London, Jan. $50 long as Ger
many confines her demands at the
conference to opening Morocco to
foreign trade on an equal basis, there
will be no difference of opinion at
Algeciras," said an official OF the
foreign office to the Associated Press.
There is some fear that the Ger
man delegates may insist on regu-
lations clashing with what France
considers her special privileges, for
instance, the policing of the frontier.
In fact. it is said in trustworthy cir
Giles. that Germany may introduce
claim to placing German soldiers in
Morocco. This France is certain to
resist, and under the agreement Great
Britain must uphold her contention
Otherwise there is no danger OF a
disagreement, but it is impossible to
say what might happen as Germany
is maintaining the strictest secrecy
regarding her intentions. The ap-
pointment of Count Won Tattenbach-
Ashold. the former special representa-
tive of Germany at Fee, as the Sec
ond delegate of Germany at the con-
ference, has perhaps weakened this
feeling of confidence, as he is under
stood to be opposed to Frances pol

will probably take some radical ac-
ton within two weeks, which will
show where Harvard stands as far
as the committee in charge of the
athletics of the university goes.
EFF the action of other institutions
is not radical enough, according to
our thinking, we will be forced to
go it alone, no matter what happens.
l do not think this will be necessary,
however, for we know by private con-
ferences that other universities feel
as we do about football.
"The report of injuries sustained
by members of the Harvard football
squad during the past season appear
ed in the Boston Medical and Surgi-
cal Journal. The report was made
by Doctors e. H. Nichols and Homer
B. Smith, who were in charge of the
squad, and is based on written state
ments of the players and a clinical
record. The physicians state that
there were 145 injuries serious
enough to keep the players out of the
game for a day or two. No mention
is made of minor injuries"

While the officials here decline to
comment on the cabled announcement
that the United States stands uncom-
mitted on the question of policing the
Moroccan frontier, some disappoint-
ment is expressed in other circles be-

United States would endorse the po-
sition of France on this point.

First Real Experience.
After the glittering wilderness OF
the marble palaces of Udaipur, which
would strain the eye were it not for
the cool setting of green in which
they are imbedded, it must have been
a welcome relief to enter the -four
ishing modern city Of Jaipur, whose
houses are decorated with an amaz-
ingly beautiful tint of pink madden.
Here, says Modern Society (London),
the royal tourists had their first real
experience of ancient Rajput pagean-
try, and the parade of thirty ele-
plants, gaily caparisoned in cloth-of-
gold-one of them the most gigantic
creature in all Asia was well
matched by the camel corps which
the maharaja keeps up as a part OF
his spectacular grandeur. These AMI
mails were present at the Delhi Dur
bar and were therefore seen by the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught. The
vision of this glitterirS reception will
remain among the most splendid
memories that their royal highnesses,
the Prince and Princess of Wales,
will bring away with them.
