Harvard Will
EconomizeOn
Coach System

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec S.-Har-
ward, with economy in view, has aban-
doned the plan to place all its major
sports under the direction of graduate
coaches, as well as the idea Of athletic
reform. The university athletic au-
thorities have found out in the first
place that suitable alumni coaches
could not be found, and it has been
their experience, with one or two nota-
BILE exceptions, that Harvard men, as
successful coaches, demand and receive
as much if not more money than would
be paid to the everyday professional.
The first move to line up the coming
seasons staff of coaches was made this
week, when Hugh Duffy agreed to stay
on and help with the informal and
freshman teams this spring. II is un-
derstood that the old National League
star was not adverse to taking a small
er salary than his original contract
called for, for he has not yet had a
chance to show what a Harvard nine
coached by him could do. Duffy, how
ever, will have plenty of chances to
make good next spring. with the in
formal varsity playing independent
teams and the freshman running the
gamut of a regular season, meeting on
its last stretch Princeton and Yale.
Coach Haines is TO be retained TO
handle the crew, and Booch Donovan
has already agreed to take care of the
track men,.

for the short playing schedule, that IS
