HARVARD CRIMSON
 OPPOSES YALE PLAN
Stand Is Taken Against Proposal
 for a Big Three Board

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 2S.-The Harvard Crimson today set forth edi- torially its opinion that the suggestion Board of Control between Harvard. Yale and Princeton 10 purify college athletics would not by any means clear up the atmosphere. The Grim son hopes that this will be the last time it will have to write about the intricate question of intercollegiate football, and iocosely heads the edi- toria "The Suspense is Awful" al- though the editorial itself is sensible enough.
 The editorial. minus an intro- ductory paragraph, reads as follows:
 "We do not agree with The Yale News that a Board Of Control is nec- essary or advisa ble. Such n board would defeat its own purpose of fur ther emphasizing the organization of football. A conference between repre- sentativcs of the three colleges could very easily accomplish all that is es- sential, and it could do it quickly. We believe that the following steps are necessary.
 Abolish Walter Camps and all other All-American mythical teams; cut down all publicity as much as possible.
 2-Abolish all sumner or pre- college term practice.
 3--Abolish all advertising of any intentional sort of Intercollegiate Con tests
 4-Elminate as much as possible intersectional contests insofar as this is compatible with playing opponents of equal strength. The matter of sub sidized athletes, clean playing, pro- fessional coaching, and the socalled tramp" athlete. are not problems which can be successfully dealt with by rule; no college need have any of these if it does not so choose.
 And then there is the question of the student bodies The means of in- surfing good sportsmanship and strict a apateur standing in college athletics is not through compulsion of any sort but through the education of college man realizes that the game itself, and not it's result, is the really important thing in sport, there will be no fear of professionalism or anything like it. The prevalent idea that it is posi- tive disgrace to lose a game is what is largely responsible form most of the present difficulty. and when it gives way to the feeling that it is worse than disgrace to behave in a manner which could possibly be con- strued as unsportsmanlike or un- the troubles which so cloud the horizon now will disappear of themselves and the era of sport for sports sake and not for trophy will set in.

He has completed one of the most difficult courses the univer- sity has to offer, with general aver age of over 90 per cent for his four years work.
 Mohardt came into national promi- hence late in the football season of 1920 when he rivalled George Gipp's performance in the football game at West Point which made Gipp an all- American. He was captain of the Notre Dame baseball nine of 1921, but the first major league offers that came his way were referred to Coach Rockne. Mohardt retained his anna teur standing and returned for his final year on the gridiron
 Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit and the National league clubs of Chicago and St. Louis made of fers to Mohardt. He finally cast his lot with Ty Cobb and President Nav in of Detroit upon receipt of their promise that he would be allowed to leave major league ball in time to enter the medical school in the fall.
 Mohardt has an exceptionally strong arm, is a speedy base runner and has batted near .330 during his three years of competition at Notre Dame. He played center field and has done an occasional turn in the pitching box.

New York Bantam Outpoints Delmont
 in Philadelphia Ring.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2s. Midget Smith of New York easily outDointed Mickey Delmont of Newark in the final bout at the Olympia A. A. last night. winning seven out of the eight rounds.
 Smith was entirely too fast for Del mont, and gave him an artistic lacing about the body. There were times when Smith showed to good advan- tage, and on several of these occa- sions he rocked the Newark scrapper.
 Belmont never had chance with Smith and he was outclassed from the start. He could not penetrate Smiths defense and what few blows he did land did not have enough force to allow him any sort of showing against the New Yorker. Smith weighed 121 and Belmont 119h.

Within the last three weeks the sport levers have been amazed by an almost continuous re- port of new figures. Athletes com peting in Buffalo. Boston. New York and other cities swept away records. some of which have been upon the books for years
 Joie Ray, of Chicago, was one of the first to set the new pace. Tho Illinois runner clipped four seconds off the mile and half run and then reduced the mile and a quarter rec ord by five and one-ffth seconds. X few days later Ray made new worlds record of eight minutes 3l 2-5 seconds for the three thousand meter run.
 McAIlistcr Going Strong.
 Next came snrinter Bob McAllistcr, of this city, who established new times for the no, 120, l30 and 150 yard dashes Allen Woodring, of Syra- cuse university followed with new record for the 800 yard run when he did 31 1-5 seconds in the Buffalo Ma tional A. A. U. championships.

Sev- era other records have been equalled and still others at odd distances and in the relay class have been broken.

 When it is considered that with one exception all these records have been made upon polished armory floors br athletes wearing rubber soled shoes the wonder grows as what will occur when the same runners are able to change smooth soled shoes for spik- ed foot gear and add strength and speed to their stride on cinder tracks.
