Confer on Scheme

A series of intercollegiate football
games to be played for the benefit Of
the war charities fund will be the out
standing feature of the sport next
month. The contests will be staged in
all sections Of the country and will
be held with the sanction Of the army
and navy departments.
The decision to advocate the plaving
OF such games, it became known to-
day, was reached at recent confer
ence Of government and football au-
thorities, the details and arrangements
nave been left to committee of for
mer players, comprising Herbert Pratt.
Amherst; William Langford, Trinity,
and Park Davis and William Roper.
Princeton.
A meeting of the committee will be
held in this city soon, when complete
plans for the series will be arranged.
In general way and subject to sucn
changes as may be necessary it is pro
posed to bring together such rival col
lege STUDENT army training corps teams
as will develop keen interest among
both players and spectators. Collego
football stadiums will be used for the
play wherever available and one or
more important inter-sectional games
are not unlikely.
Under the latest decision Of the au-
thoritles, some of the classic football
contests of the last decade may be re-
vived: While the colleges to be brought
together have not vet been named. the
Army-Navy, Yale-Harvard and similar
gridiron features of normal seasons
may be staged, in view of the purpose
to which the gate receipts will be de-
voted
