HARVARD FREEZES
OUT WEE COLLEGES
INSPORT PROGRAM

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Feb. 25.-The
little college has been entirely frozen
out Of Harvard's athletic program for
the spring, and interest naturally
centers in the coming reports on the
meetings at Yale and Princeton to
see II these universities follow out
this rather narrow schedule OF inter-
collegiate athletics. At Harvard's
meeting a series of events In all major
sports between the Crimson, Prince
ton, and Yale was advocated.
At the meeting it was voted that
the professional coaches here should
continue as long - their contracts
are in force, which probably run out
this spring. This will probably let
Bill Haines out, as the big Briton
hasn't any contract with the II A. A,
but has been working for a monthly
salary. Coach Hugh Duffy, OF the
nine, is tied up to an ironcIad con-
tract, and Coaches Donovan and Far
rell are also understood to hold agree
ments with the II. A. A.
With Yale and Princeton probably
building their coaching systems
around amateur, or at least paid
graduate. coaches, the Upp and in
expert instruction will probably be
held by the Crimson for this year.
From present indications there will
be a general return to major sports
next year by graduate coaches. The
talk OF highly paid professional
coaches has brought about what may
be termed a genuine reform II fol-
lowed out but there remains the un-
alterable fact that the graduate coach
is genally the highest paid coach in
America, at least in a college like
Harvard.
