BOSTON, April 4.-Confiicting re-
ports regarding the Harvard football
coaching problem were rife in Bos-
ton and Cambridge today. The fact
trsnspired early in the morning that
the president of the Harvard VAR
sity club had notined members OF
that exclusive organization that Percy
y. Haughton will coach the football
teams for the next three years. The
chairman of the football committee
denies that Mr.. 'Haughton has signed
a contract, much to his regret, while
the graduate treasurer of athletics at
Cambridge declares that he has not
put his name to any official docu-
ment binding Mr. Haughton To a year
or term Of years with the Harvard
football eleven.
The hEst intimation received by
Harvard men that there had been
any definite progress in the pending
proceedings came this morning when
members of the Varsity club received
the following notice under date of
March 31st. and signed by Frederick
w Thayer, its president;
Il am glad TO be able to announces
that Mr.. = y, Haughton, 90. will
coach the football teams for the next
three years"
John Wells Farley. chairman Of the
football committee at Harvard. denied
that Mr.. Haughton has agreed to
coach again. Mr.. Farley has been
given fun powers by the Harvard au
thorities To conduct negotiations with
Mr. Haughton and today gave out
the following statement of the situa-
ton:
The report that Mr. Haughton has
signed a contract to coach the Har-
ward football team for the next three
years is, ] regret TO say, absolutely
untrue, We all hope that he viii
do SO, but he has not and nothing
is yet definitely decided. It Is most
that report TO the con-
trary should at this time have be-
come current"
William +. Garceion, graduate
treasurer of the Harvard Athletic as
ISOLATION, stated that no contract has
been signed by Mr.. Haughton and that
the whole matter is In Mr.. Farleyfs
hands.

The buniptiousness of indianapolis
in suggesting that some day 1T will
be the motor making centre of the
country Is extremely fauSuing to De-
troit. Now and again this feeling
breaks out in some such form as it is
put by the Studebaker News, the
house organ Of that corporations au-
tomobile division.
Regarding the statement made
that indianapolis doesn't make as
many automobiles as Detroit yet
as the HOLSTERS usually put il, the
Detroit editor, having dipped his pen
in some particularly acid sort Of
writing fluid, cuts loose thus; Heavy
emphasis goes on the yet and the
tition is now very close and that In
dianapolis is so easy a second right
now as to make other comparisons
out Of the question. SO far the in
dustry contended itself with a good
natured grin and the Hoosier whoop.
But some day an irritable and iutell-
gent authority is going to challenge
the claim and call the bluff.
The challenge can come with per-
feet propriety from Flint. which Will
make $4,000 cars this season; from
Lansing, which will make $4,000;
from Pontiac. from Highland Park,
from Toledo, from Jackson. There
are at least seven non-fndianapolis
plants which Will produce this sea
son more than all the indianapolis
factories combined. Two Of these
plants are in Detroit, two in it's SUI
burhs Two of the others are in
Michigan cities, and the other in
Ohio 1t would be easy to subtract
from Detroit's production Of cars that
Of the two biggest factories and still
retain enough TO swamp all Hoosier-
dom in cumulative competition.
These estimates are conservative
and based on an Indianapolis pro-
duction of 10. 600 cars. If one cared
to make It real guess at Indiana pro-
duction of 1912 or 1913, he would
probably cat this estimate in two,
estimating an output of 5000 cars
each year for the lusty lunged arti-
sans of the speedway burg
Indianapolis mas many automobile
factories, it is true but they don't
build enough automobiles TO make
any serious impression on the trade
except at the big shows where they

The real humor of the claims put for

claim to sales consideration on the
fact that he buys the motors for his
cars, as well as transmisSions, rear

such devices are we'll made"
And then comes the sleep wallop
as Paul Hale Bruske might have
said in his sporting editor days:

tion recently got a Studehaker 20

The boards motive in plain; it want

because when such automobiles are

Nobody knows who wrote this

prepared to testify:

And finished every chore.
Then forth it went into the field
just at the break of day.

And when the Job was through
1t hummed a pleasant little tune
And churned the butter, too.
And pumped the water for the stock,
And ground a crib of corn,
And hauled the baby round the block
To still its cries forlorn.
