 Harvard that Harry LeGore and

 whether Yale would declare the
 lthletes eligible again, even with

 athletic committee that the ath-
 violated a rule that was clearly

 the first test of the new tri-
 lar agreement for which Yale has 5 striving for years. Yale men be- $ that they have convinced liar x and Princeton of their sincerity king up to the athletic require ks and one of the most prominent Rtic officials in Yale said today Yale regarded Princeton athletics |eded by none in their freedom ineligibility violations.
 Hith the mutual good understand hmong the members the air is red for taking up the large num- 'bf cases which will be considered ke long of athletes from the three |ersities. The task of securing a bet understanding has been com kd and the recommendation of fsYale Daily News that a triangu- committee from the |e universities be chosen is be- ed at Yale to be carried out in Ire football seasons. Eligibility committees of the three l |ersities are innovations of recent l ]. Formerly the eligibility com- ations were settled by the athletic mittees, but the wrangles which | e are now regarded as historic | impossible of repetition. Certain o Yale athlete will be retained in | t, who is regarded by Princeton
 Harvard as ineligible. The for | lon of the joint eligibility commit | of the three universities is all that | ow felt to be necessary to make | the good understanding 1 ch has mutually been reached.

They discussel all sorts of l stions connected with the coming | ball season. New Haven being l a center between l nceton and Cambridge the confer ss were all held here. The result | the closest bond of sympathy that l
 ever interwoven into the football | ms from the three big universities | a single season. Nearly every | red was discussed and adjusted the sport was put on f1rmer Is than ever before by the talks visits. sl aptain Aleck Wilson summed up visits and the talks and also wed his own calibre as @ sports when he said recently in talking q friend of the visits of the liar q and Princeton captains: Med han and Frank Click are my per- al friends.
