CRIMSON PAPER BALKS ON METRIC
 MEASUREMENTS
Regrets Expressed If Track Plans Are Chang ed in Accord With A. A. U.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec 15-(UP) Harvard probably will vote for adoption of the metric system of measuring track and field perform ances, when the Intercollegiate A.. A. A. A. considers the chance at It's annual meeting in March, the Harvard A. A. News, official publi- cation of the Harvard Athletic As- sociation, says in it's December is- sue to-day.
 The News says that any change of the system of measurement in intercollegiate championships and dual meets must be change in accordance with the majority opin- ion of the members of the Inter- collegiate Association" and that Harvard undoubtedly will abide by the majority decision.
 My! My!
 The Harvard publication terms the action of the National Amateur Athletic Union in adopting the me- tric system as a drastic step" and expresses regrets at the possibility of instituting the new system at Harvard.
 Harvard graduates and under graduates" the News says, "always have regarded Harvard track and field performances in the light of yards, feet; and inches. and pres ent records dating as far back as George Hearings high jump mark, made in 1891, are measured by that system.
 "It would be regretted if the present Harvard records were no longer to be regarded as the stan dard by which Harvard track and field performances will be com pared in the future"

HARVARD MGR SUGGESTS TAX ON
 STUDENT BODY
In Order to Maintain Uni- versity's Huge Athletic Systenl-Yale, Prince ton Quoted

Cambridge. Mass, Dec 15.-(UP) A blanket tax on all Harvard un- dergraduates for maintenance of the university's athletic system is suggested by William J. Bingham. director of athletics, in his annual report appearing in to-day's issue of the Harvard A A. News.
 Bingham said he thought 1t proper to charge "a fixed fee to all undergraduates, and require gradu- ate students to pay only If they use our facilities"
 Stressing the problem of financ- ing the huge system embracing in- tercollegiate, intramural and re- creational athletics, Bingham said the undergraduates ''resent the modest charge for the use of some of our athletic equipment"
 The Harvard director pointed out that at Yale, every undergraduate paid a $10 gymnasium fee, and that in addition the Yale corporation al- located to the athletic association an additional $10 from each tuition fee. At Princeton, Bingham point ed out, each undergraduate paid a $20 fee for physical education"

 In the semi-final role Cocoa Kid, Connecticut's leading lightweight contender, will meet his former conqueror, Harry Alexanian, worlds Armenian lightweight champion in an eight round strug- gle.
