HARVARD MAY PLAY
FOOT BALL NEXT SEASON

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March 1T Is be-
lieved here that the Harvard authorities
have decided to allow foot bali to have one
more years trial under the new rules that
have been adopted by the American inter
collegiate rules committee. An incomplete
informal canvass of the board of overseers
made last night indicated that If the Hd"-
ward athletic committee is willing to per-
NIT another trial of the game the over
seers will not oppose it, provided 1t Is
agreed that If the game results unsatIs-
Eactorily next fall 1t be abandoned there
after. 1t Is known that the athletic com
mittee is favorable to another trial.
The meeting of the athletic committee TO
be held this afternoon will consider the
subject, but 1t Is hardly expected that deti-
mite action will then be taken The report
of Secretary William T. Reid of the rules
committee will be studied and discussed
but 1t is believed the committee will VISA
longer time to consider it than at one
meeting before acting finally. Ii is certain
that their report viii be presented to the
overseers within a fortnight, however, ana
win settle the fate of the game at Cam
bridge.
Harvard men In general feel great salts

Hendations have reflected Haryard's ide as
OF reform so generously. and believe II 10
