HARVARD SILENT
Opinion Expressed That Crimson Will Not Follow Yale'S Lead-Haughton Won't Decide.

Cambridge, Mass, April 19-When it was brought to the attention of P. D. Haughton, coach of the Harvard football team, yesterday that the Yale players will be numbered next fall Haughton stated that he did not know what Harvard's final action would be.
 The Crimson always has held the number system in disfaVor, the point of view being that the numbers help scouts to follow the teams formations and plays. >sr,
 The matter. however. will not be decided by Haughton, but by the members of the Harvard football committee, which has been stronger against the use of the numbers than the head coach
 The fact that Yale will use the numbers next season may make some difference to Harvard. but the un- official opinion today of several mem bers of the committee was that Har- ward was likely to continue without the numbers, regardless of what Yale intended to do.

Tn but one game did the visitors threaten to walk off with a string. this being in the second game when the quintets tied at 492 each, but on the roll-off the home boys showed that they have the edge on their opponents.
 Each and every member of the To- calls put up fine contest, the work of Rogers and Anderson being par ticularly brilliant. '"The Boss'' had ing the high total for his team, 30S and also with 119 was the in- dividua1 star for the winners.

 For the shortenders, Mitchell and Caruth were the stars Mitchell lead ing his mates With 321 and a high single of IA. Caruth with two scores total up to 303. The scores follow:
