BOSTON FOOTBALL WRANCLE PATCHED
 UP BY ALUMNI

Boston, April 29-(UP)-The 1881 intersectional Football game between Dartmouth ana Stanford will be played, as originally scheduled, at Harvard stadium November 28 as result of withdrawal of the objec- ton of alumni of Boston College, whose objectvie game with Holy Cross is played here annually on the last Saturday of November.
 Thus the Dartmouth- Stanford and Boston College-Holy Cross games 10th will be played here November 28.
 Because of the objection of the E. c. alumni to staging of the inter- sectional game on the same day as the traditional Boston College-Holy Cross contest, Mayor James M. Cur ley had refused a license for the Dartmouth-Stanfor game at Harv- ard stadium, situated in Boston.
 But Curley reversed his decision and granted the license after Ed ward A. Mclaughlin, president of the Boston College Alumni associa- ton, formally withdrew that body's protest.
 Mclaughlin in his statement to Curley said that William J. Bing- ham, Harvard athletic director, and Harry R. Heneage, Dartmouth ath- lctic supervisor. assured him that if the question of any interference with the annual Boston College Holy Cross game had occurred to them the matter would have been handled in a way which would have prevented the present unfortunate conflict"
 In his rote to Bingham, sanction ing the intergectional game, Curley referred to the action of the Boston college alumni as "sportsmanlike and commendable."
