 Boston. Feb. l7--tu.Pl - While the three university presidents who alone can alter "nlg Three" football policies remained silent, under graduate editors 0f Harvard and Yale outvuted their Princeton hreth- ren 2 to 1 to-day in support of the proposal of Director 0t Athletics william !. tHllO Bingham of Har- yard that the September lS practice rule be abolished,
 student lights of the Harvard Crimson and thc Daily PrineetonlAn staged . bitter word battle over the Bingham proposal aS editors of the Daily Newa, siding with the Harvard view. agreed dlApaSSionately that four weeks ot fall practice were necessary if the Alg Three were ta he in condition to meet teams that train for six weeks,
 Bingham Blasted
 Bul tho Princeton journalists, sus- pccting "An ultcTior motive" termed HlnRhAn's proposal "a new high in cQulvoeAtlon, contladltion and com- pletc surrender to one of the basic principles ot hsg time football"
 "The Bingham plan Suneks too much 0t summer training camps and other devices employed by big tamc' football squads ln the annual campaign for gate receipts under the transparent RulSe ot pseudo- asNateuFlSm," the Prinoetonlan thought,
 The Princeton editors thought the Bingham proposal additionally M- dtcrOuS when one tlnda the intlma- ton that certain minor sports might have to be eliminated because oi lack of funds accompanying thi, suggestion to increase the already expense football budget through ex- tending preseason training"
 The PrineetonianS editorial sug. HcSted that Harvard, Princeton and Yale start practice three weeks he- fore the first Saturday in October ''to eliminate the rigidity of the September ia date"
 Tiger Set-UpS
 ln a caustle reply the Harvard CrimS0n to-day takes . ran a, Princc,on's football boom durinS the Crislcr coaching regime, and at the Tigers supposed practice oi meeting n bunch ot early-scason "sct-upS,"
 We had understood that the at utudc of the Princeton Athletic As- sociatlon was not unfrlendly to the methods of big time fo0thall' and we are astonishcd to Ind that un- dergraduate opinion aa expressed by the Prlncetonian does not agree with it," the Crimson editorial says
 Tt is unjust to link Mir. Blng. hams proposal t0 eliminate minor sports with the expense involved ir nn extra week of preseason train ing. Unlike the practice ut Prince ton, the players expenses are not paid from an A, A. fund but from the individuals pocket. The addi- ti0nal incidental cost would not equal the charges for later mcd- ioai care of injuries caused by poor physical condition, Perhaps the ad- ditional week 0f training does not seem important to Princeton with her array of 'Sct-upS' at the hcgin- ning 0f the season the Grim son schedule next fall opens with Amherst. Brown and Army, all three of which start practice at least week before the Harvard Squad."
 The row between the Harvard and Princeton editors recalls the break in Harvard Princeton football relations extending from 1926 until i034. Many causes were ascribed for the break but the principal factor appeared to be Prlncctons atisfaction at not having a fixed place on the Harvard schedule the same aS Yale.
