BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

Percy Haughton has closed his
career as coach of Harvard football
elevens, and will recommend the ap-
pointment of Charles Dudley DAILY,
now coach of the Army eleven, as
his successor, according to reports
current today in Cambridge. This
rumor has also reached New Haven
and New York city.
When Fred Moore, graduate man.
ager at Harvard, was asked concern
ing the truth of the rumor, he re-
piled:
"We hope and expect to get
Haughton again"
The report OF Haughton's possible re-
tirenent from athletics appears al the
stronger in the light Of the editorial IN
the Harvard Crimson. which praises the
great football teacher and at the same
time expresses the fear that he will not
renew his contract.
