 Chicago, Dec 8.-(UP)-Har- yards next football coach and the fate of six Minnesota gridiron stars were the chief topics of discussion at the annual Big Ten meeting to- day.
 The United Press has learned from a reliable source that Har- wards next coach will be a Har- yard man, and that his chief as- sistant most likely will be George "Potsy" Clark, former U. of Kan sas and Butler coach who piloted the Detroit professional team last season.
 Rumor
 One of the Harvard men prom inently mentioned for the job is Charlie Buell., quarterback of a decade ago William Bingham, Harvard director of athletics, is here drawing up the loose ends re- garding Harvard's search for a successor to Eddie Casey. Arnold Horween, former Harvard coach and Chicago business man, has been consulted by Bingham re- garding the new setup which is quite likely to be modelled after Yale's new deal last season which brought in Ducky Pond, former Yale halfback, as head coach and Greasy" Neale as chief assistant.
 The faculty representatives held a three-hour session last night re- garding the Big Tens rule which provides, for only three years of varsity competition, in which in- tercollegiate competition between freshmen players counts as a year of varsity participation.
 It was learned reliably that the Big Ten will make no special rul- ing to apply to Minnesota's six transfers from other colleges, which permit freshmen competi- tion. The application of this rule closes the Minnesota careers of Bill Bevan, all-American guard; ]; Stan Kostka, fullback; George Svendsen, tackle; Art Clarkson, halfback, and Vernon Oech, guard, all transfers from other schools. In addition J. Bevan, guard, will lose a year of varsity competition, but still has another year to play.
 The faculty representatives plan ned to announce their decision to- day.
 Busy Session
 The Big Ten coaches have voted to make two recommendations to the national football rules com mittee, as follows
 l. Permit a substitute to talk as soon as he enters the game in- stead of waiting until after one play.
 2. Clarify the rule as to when a ball-carrier is permitted to make lateral pass. Some officials al- low g. runner to lateral after he has been tackled and others disal- low lateral after a tackler has his hands on runner.
 Steps to curb drinking at Big Ten games will be taken next sea- son. The athletic directors agreed that drinking increased consider. ably last season and decided tc take positive measures toward re- ducing drinking"
 Iowa had the ushers deputizet at the Iowa-Purdue game last sea. son, with the authority to eject anyone intoxicated. Some schools are considering ejecting drinkers and refunding their money
 The coaches will start a cam. paign to curb gambling, which reached unfavorable proportions last year in several Big Ten cities Police may be asked to start 8 campaign against football betting in handbooks and pool rooms in al least one city in which a western conference school is located.
 The Big Ten track and field championships will be held al Michigan May "A and 25 after eight years at Northwestern. The shift was made because of the lack of interest in track in Chi. cago.
