BRIGGS TALKS ON
COLLEGE SPORTS

Cambridge, Mass, February 27-'T
am not sure that the enormous outlay
of money on the athletic teams of the
college has increased the chance of VIC
tory and I am sure that ii has dam
aged some players" declares Dean Le-
Baron r. Briggs, chairman of the COM
mittee on the Regulation of Athletic
sport at Harvard college, In his annual
report today.
Dean Briggs says further: "In cer-
tain things relating to athletic games
the college should spare no expense
For example, she should studiously and
at any cost reduce the danger to life
and limb"
Discussing the Luxurious living of
college athletes" the report says: "A
boy poor when he comes and poor when
he goes gets bad start in the strug-
gle for a living If he has learned to
regard costly food, automobiles on the
slightest provocation, free entertain
ment in hours of leisure and refresh
ments as due from the world to hin" "
Much Is being done at Harvard to-
ward reducing the expense of main
tanning the athletic teams, Dean Briggs
says.
