Harvard Alumni Bulletin, spokes-
~ man of graduate Harvard, sees
little chance of that institution re-
turning into the intercollegiate sport
fold next fall. though the Bulletin
editorially admits that a diminished
military program may make possible
the reviving of athletics, which, with
untried material performing on the
teams viii create a somewhat new
and perhaps more healthful environ
ment in intercollegiate sports
The editorial follows:

No Athletics At Harvard To Discuss Bonhag Record
Ranks Are Much Diminished Many Judges Are Called
A PRIZEFIGHT.

n y EW YORK, ". Y, June 16.-The
M recent muddle over the mile
walk at Travers Island. where
George V. Bonhag created an Ameri-
can record of 6:2S SIS seconds for the
mile. has stirred both the record com
mittee and the legislative members of
the A A L. national body. so that
new rules are already under eontem-
plation for the better guidance OF
judges of the heel and toe sport.
One OF the strong points Of the con-
templated changes is that in order to
walk fairly a man will have 10 plant
his heel firmly on the ground with
the toe pointing upward.
The knee must be locked and
the entire leg perfectly straight
Striking of the heel against the
ground must also occur before the
toe OF the other foot leaves the
ground.
This style is simply the modus oper-
andi of fair progression, and is the
one shown in competition by the in
comparable Goulding. The clause COW
ering the number Of cautions viii
also meet with a little alteration
Not few of the record committee
are in favor of a rule TO empower the
judge to order a competitor to leave
the track the moment he transgresses,
while others are more moderate with
suggestions that the walker should
at least be given one caution Should
he then continue his questionable
method of locomotion. they will insist
that he be ordered from the track
Among those who saw Bonhag per-
form at Travers Island were justice
Barlow S. Weeks. chairman of the
legislative committee of the national
body. and F. ". Ruben secretary
treasurer Of the A a. q. Neither
would commit himself as to the fate
the Bonhag record will meet when
IL is subjected TO the acid test. From
the offhand conversations of the Of
ficials the record will never adorn the
pages of the record book
Ruben, in discussing the ques-
tiOn, admitted that the A. A. L.
WIS badly handicapped in its ef-
fort to establish n standard style
of walking. He pointed out that
the fault was with the clubs which
include walking contests on their
programs.
A majority OF these organizations.
instead of inviting the services of

some man of their own who Is anx-
