Officials Are
Agreed Upon.

New Haven, Ct, Nov. 7.-Announce-
merit is made here Of the officials for
the Yale-Harvard football game at
Cambridge on Nov. %, selected at the
recent meeting in Springfield, Mass, of
representatives Of the two universities.
The officials are: Referee, NJ. J. Thomp-
son, Georgetown; umpire, William Ed
wards, Princeton; field judge, Lieuten-
ant Hackett, and head linesman, w.
II. Langtord, Trinity.
1t is also announced that NJ j.
Thompson will referee the Yale-Prince
ton game, as a. +. Whiting, who was
to have acted in that capacity, will be
field judge in place Of f. X. Hall of
Dartmouth. who was compelled by
business reasons to decline to act.
1t will be remembered that last year
there was considerable trouble over the
selection of the officials. which nearly
ended in a breach of athletic relations
between Harvard and Yale. Yale has
evidently won a point in the selection
of Mike Thompson, as last year Coach
Rockwell of the Ellis wanted Thompson
ana Bill Reid refused to consider his
na1ne. Thompson is probably the best
referee in college football circles.
