on his return the Harvard track man.
ager discussed the question with the yale
authorities, who were equally In favor OF
the meet. II II could be arranged. The
Harvard track men believe there Will be
no difficulty In obtaining the consent OF
the athletic committees TO their partici-
patton I'm the meet and that the only pos
sible obstacle may be financial reasons.
IL will be necessary 10 obtain the back
ing Of a number OF Harvard and yale

OF the fund remaining which was used 10

that use this summer II the proposed
meet Is arranged.
The fact that some OF the Harvard ana
yale athletes will probably be chosen for
the American teams which Will compete
