regular meeting last week, was made
yesterday Although the athletic inter.

lege would take some action on foot
ball, no such radical stand AZ this WAS
anticipated.
This aetlon of tho overseers was taken
after d special report had been received
from the committee on physical train-
ing, athletic sports and sanitary condi-
ton of all buildings. This committee
reported that IL considered tile game Of

alcohol to class them as liquors This
