HARVARD'S SLIGHT
TO THE QUAKERS

PHILADELPHIA. May 15.-It leaked out
last night that Haryard's refusal to play
foot ball with the University of Pennsyl-
vania had been sent couehed in the curt
est of terms and upon a plain penny postal
card. AS a result OF what is considered
here deliberate insult, the whole univer-
sity from provost down. Is up in arms,
and every relation with Harvard, social as
well as athletic, is likely to be severed.
While the student body ascrfbes the dis
courtesy of the enmity of Gar Bill Reid.
head coach of Harvard, the athletic COM
mittee points out the fact that the names
of the. Harvard athletic committee were
signed to the postal and that the slight
must have been with their full knowledge.
The postal was received by DIR. Edgar F.
Smith, assistant provost. I'VE discontinue
the foot ball games with the University of
Pennsylvania so that our foot ball schedule
may be lightened," it read.
THE university as body will take no
action on this, said DIR. Smith. 1--WE feel
that the insult will react more on Harvard
than u.s.
1t was said last night by members of the
athletic committee however. that action
will be taken. Representations will be made
to other colleges among other things.
Harvard's action is ascribed here to piaue,
upon being whipped so frequently by Penn
syivania.

Conner called Cobb safe at first on roller
hit to Williams, which was clearly han
