HARVARD TAKING
STEPS TO MEND
BREAK With TIGERS

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 2S-(Pt-A
move toward a new understanding
between Harvard and Princeton in
athletics has been taken by Har-
ward overseers.
The board yesterday became cog
infant officially for the first time of
the break between the two institu-
lions when it directed a committee to
confer with the athletic committee
and tn student council with regard
to the present situation as it affects
the University and Alumni
In : statement to the board, Presi-
dent A. Lawrence Lowell revealed
that when at a previous meeting he
had outlined the policy contemplated
by the director of athletics of making
the Yale game the one fixture on the
annual football schedule, he had con-
cluded that the absence of objection
was to be construed as assent. This,
he declared, was now found to be
contrary to fact Some mem RS of
the board had withheld comment be-
cause immediate action was not ex-
pected.
Howard Elliott, president of the
board, who has had part in seek
ms " pllhS Iloti u ana princeton
together again declared that the
board had never voted on the propos-
al and hence had neither approved
nor disapproved it.
The board voted approval of Presi-
dent LowelPs expression of regret
over the Lampoons attack on
Princeton. 1t was the undergrad
uate comics post game issue coupled
with the announcement of the new
athletic policy which led to Prince
tons severance of all athletic rela-
lions with Harvard and the rupture
of the classic big Three" of football.
The committee named to confer
with the athletic committee and the
student council will report at the
next meeting of the overseers.

Five Mighty Clashes Day Will Close Eastern Season
HOLIDAY WILL WIND .
UP GRID SEASON IN
ATLANTIC SEAbOARD

New York, Nov. 25.-(P)-Lighting
the grdiron sky in a farewell fash of
ancient rivalry, old foes of the east
ern football arena will battle in FIVE
colorful closing games on Thursday.
With the midwest claiming the
Army-Navy classic for the first time,
football followers in the Atlantic sea-
board sector will see the campaign
virtually ended in Thanksgiving Day
struggles between Columbia and SYRIA
cuse, Pennsylvania and Cornell, Pitts
burgh and Penn State, West Virginia
and Washington and Jefferson. Brown
and Colgate. Another pair of tradi-
tional rivals meet Saturday when Holy
Cross clashes with Boston College.
Interest will be focused in the at
tempt of unbeaten Brown to smash
through Colgate for a record of 10
straight victories and a strong claim
on eastern as well as national honors.
There will be big outpourings at the
other struggles, however, with the
spell Of winning streak hanging over
one team in each of the contests.
Colgate's drive against Brown will
be launched from background of five
successive failures to overthrow the
Bruins although last year Eddie Tyron
and company held the Providence
eleven to tie at 14-I4. In their four
previous games Brown emerged with
victory.
Pennsylvania victory stretch in its
series with Cornell extends only
through 1924 and 1925, but in the 80
games they have played the Quakers
have drawn off their forces "a times
in triumph while one game ended in a
tie. Coach Lou Youngs clean slate
against eastern foes is basis for the
Philadelphia eleven's position as ia
vorite, but many critics look upon the
struggle as a toss-up.

The planes were loaded slightly In

the surface of Hampton Roads for a
distance of two miles before they
could get off. Once up, however, there
was no delay and both were making
good speed as they turned their noses
into the gathering dusk for trip that
naval authorities hope will set a new
record for long distance seaplane

1900 gallons of gasoline and food to

within "a or 25 hours unless some
