HARVARD ASKS
 YALE TO ALLOW
 LEC0RE1 IN GAME
Capt. Mahan and Coach Haughton Believe He is |
 Only Technically Guilty.

I Cambridge, Oct. 19-As the result of an informal meeting of Harvard football leaders and authorities, it was expected in Cambridge today that eff forts would be made to persuade Yale to reconsider it's action in dropping five prominent athletes because of their summer baseball activities. When it was learned here that Legore and Easton, two football players, had been included in the list of Yale ineligibles, Captain E. w. Mahan,s of the Harvard varsity football team, called a meeting at which the matter was discussed. All of those declined to be quoted today but it is known that Captain Mahan conferred with Chief Coach Haughton, former Captain Robert Storer, Richard Wigglesworth and two members of the student advisory board, and that the general sentiment seemed to be that the absence of Legore would deprive the Harvard-Ya1e contest on Nov. 20 of one of it's best features.
 The view is said to have been ex- pressed that as the violation of the intercollegiate agreement had been a technical one, and as the players had made proper amends when, their at tention was called to a violation of the rules, an exception might be made in their cases. No definite action, Ahow- ever, was taken at the meeting except to extend to Yale, in an unf1ipcial way, the attitude of Harvard.
 Football players pointed out that when Orville Frank, a Harvard base ball captain, was found to have tech nicaIIy violated an athletic rule, Yale promptly came forward and asked Harvard to permit the big first base man toScontinue. in the game.

CITY HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND
 MANY ARE SUFFERING
Condition of City Brought Out With Startling Elm phasis at Meeting of Board of Charities.
Several Families Evlcted By Greedy Landlords Are House at LakeYiew Home
 Shelter is Sadly Lacking

Fines and Imprisonment for members of the administration in Bridgeport is staring them in the face because of the shameful conditions of housing in this c1ty.
 Shocking details of how per sons of fair means are wander ing homeless around the streets of Bridgeport, how they had been evicted from their homes, how they met with shameful indifference when they applied to the city for aid, how some are sleeping on the. docks and how others are sleeping in lodging houses after having taken their furniture from the gutter where it was thrown by greedy landlords, and sold it for a pittance-aH these things were disclosed and admitted yesterday afternoon at a meet ing of the board of charities.
 Probably it would not have been known in detail today but for the fact that housing conditions in. Bridgeport have become so reprehensib1e, be- cause the administration has neglect ed it's duty toward the citizens. that it became necessary fer an official at the Headquarters of the New England Charities at Boston to call the atten- ton of the administration, in no un- certain tone, that tt. Is neg1ecting it's duty and some of those connected with it are likely to be arraigned in thing is done. A
 Startled by being brought up short in such sublime indifference to the ca1amitous conditions here, the ad- ministration, through the board { of charities has decided to do something and avoid the penalty.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon it was suggested that the portable school buildings that are now being the ending in chaos, by overcrowding of schoolhouses. may be used to house the unfortunates who have been thrown in the street
 Not only was it suggested that the portable school houses. which are merely sheds, De used Io aHOrd tenn porary relief to the evicted tenants, but it was proposed that the portable election booths, which are on use only a few days in the year, be used for the same purpose-A
 It is, likely that the board, eager to seek some present solution of the problem while the officials higher up and brought to rea1ization Of what is required of them, will scatter the sheds on the land about the new Lakeview home and there create a colony of the homeless, who could rent for pay. houses were they avail able.
 And not only that was proposed at the board meeting, but the building known as Lakeview home. which will soon be vacated as "a poorhouse, will probably have to be turned into a temporary refuge for the homeless.
