lumba next week, when the first game. sopho-
waiting for formal permission the two under

action the future Of the game now rests. according
to President Butler
Professor H. q. Lord. chairman Of the committee,
was unable TO assemble the members yesterday,
but he promises that meeting will be held

Every member OF this committee, with the
ception OF Professor Odell. has expressed himself
in favor CT interclass games at Columbia.
The prospects for the restoration football as
intercollegiate sport much brighter than
they have been for long time. II has been
claimed that Columbia students did not furnish
enough material and otherwise support the game
prior TO its abolition in 1895. but this condition
seems 10 be past more than fifty men re-
sponded the first call for candidates for the
underclass teams yesterday.
