Go SlotD Policy On Football
 Policy At Yale

Yale,s undergraduate viewpoint of 4te conclusion of President Lowell of Harvard University that football as an intercollegiate sport has been given an emphasis out of proportion fo it's importance. as outlined by the YaIe Daily News, is that any reform in sports would have to be brought about gradually. It also says that Undergraduates and alumni might sot be in sympathy with proposed re- forms.
 Sport Made Target
 The News after discussing the points made by President Lowell. says:

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-01-23

'Unquestionably there is some truth in these accusations. The only way they can be silenced at Yale is by a. radical departure from the tradi- tional athletic policy of the univer- sity. If national competition is to be avoided preliminary games must be partially or entirely done away with: if the principle of athletics for all' is realized. intra-Inural games must be substituted; and if commercial ism is to be discourage expenses must be cut down by carrying the re- form into all branches of athletics.
 Any change-if charge is wanted would be merely an attempt to cor rect radical defects in the present organization of college athletics Such change would not come imme- diately."
