SON. states in part:
within the last fortnight Yale and
Princeton have unoificially come out for
Intercollegiate athletics this spring. Ilar-
Nard has yet to make known her position,
out the vast majority OF undergraduates
are certainly heart and soul for some form
of intercollegiate games.
1T has been well proved that to keep an
interest IN sport it is necessary to meet
rivals of a similar status and playing un-
der similar eligibility rules. Harvard un-
officially is unquestionably for the resump-
ton OF Intercollegiate games.
High-Priced Coaches Doomed
his does not mean we have to rush
back to the old system. with its numerous
faults We Go not need TO have coaches
drawing enormous salaries, nor advertis-
ing campaigns to attract crowds of thou
sands. We simply desire to play in a con-
test with teams which are like our own.
Baseball and possibly track could be
dragged out along Informal lines. but to
try to have an informal crew would be the
height of absurdity.
Two facts argue strongly for intercol-
legiate games. The first is that the Prcs-
dent OF the United States and the leading
men of the War Department advocate
them. Second. the colleges which have
maintained an intercollegiate system have
not shown that their patriotic fervor or their
interest in their nations affairs has waned.
while their athletics have been much more
substantial and have done more good for
q greater NUMBER
