But he won't use the platoon

Raffensperger, who had out

More Harvard Shifts
Likely After Stanford
Grid Tilt sCanceIed
BY the Asseeiufed Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. IS
The first step in what is expected
to be drastic change of Har-
wards athletic setup was made
when Stanford University agreed
to cancel the second half Of its
intersectional home and home
football series with the Crimson,
scheduled here for next Septem-
ber 80.
Announcement of the cancella-
tion was made yesterday by Pro-
vost Paul H. Buck, a top-ranking
Harvard official, who recently
submitted secret report on all
athletics to the university cor
poration.
Buck, who always permitted
William J. Bingham, the Grim
sons veteran athletic director, to
serve as its spokesman for sports
in the past, explained that STAN
ford was dropped in order ito
tighten a far too heavy football
schedule" and that the September
80 date would not be filled dur
ing the 1850 season.
Bingham Status Clouded.
Last fall Harvard, which won
only one of its nine games, opened
the most disastrous season in its
long gridiron history by bowing
to Stanford, 44-0, at Palo Alto,
Calf.
Buck intimated that Harvard
would fulfill it's other 1850 foot
ball commitments with Columbia,
Cornell, Army. Dartmouth, Holy
Cross, Princeton, Brown and Yale
in that order.
When queried in his Harvard
Athletic Association office, Bing-
ham said he had mo comment"

resignation of Art Valpey, who

Buck predicted that Harvard's
new head football coach would
not be named ''for several weeks"
probably not until members Of
the ancient university's all-pow-
erful corporation have studied the
Buck report.
It was learned that Buck dealt
directly with President Wallace
Sterling of Stanford, in request
ing the cancellation.
Valpey, who had another year
remaining on three-year Har-
ward coaching contract, is report

sion to negotiate for his new

GoIdsborough Ruling
In Gold Key Club Case
To Be Clarified

Opposing counsel in the Gold
Key Club case are to gather in
Judge r. Alan Goldsborough's s
courtroom at 10 am. tomorrow to
settle the extent the club now
will be permitted to stay in busi-
ness. If at all.
The question was still up in the
air. despite Judge Goldsborough's
termination of trial yesterday
and his decision to grant at least
part Of the Governments request
that he enjoin the after -hours
bottle club from doing business
here under its Maryland charter
Attorney Charles E. Ford re-
garded the apparent decision as q
victory. Assistant United States
Attorney Ross O'Donoghue, whom
the judge instructed to draw UP
an order pursuant to the courts
ruling, later told reporters he was
unclear as to the scope of the
judges view.
These mixed reactions are to be
clarified in tomorrow's hearing.
The trial itself wound up yester-
day with the corporation presi-
dent, Albert Glickfield, on the wit
ness stand all day.
Declines to Answer.
The prosecution encountered its
principal difficulty when Mr.
Glickf1eld declined to answer a few
pointed questions.
He insisted that to answer
queries about income other than
his $4,000 club salary would tend
to incriminate him. Mr.. Glickfield
also declined to discuss his role in
the Harold Ambrose stamp deals
now under scrutiny of the grand
jury here.
The witness showed no reluc-
tance, however, in revealing he has
been convicted quite a few times
for disorderly conduct.
He grew evasive again when Mr.
ODonoghue prodded him about
the clubs annual reports to Its
81 200 or 1900 members"
do you ever report, as presi-
dent Of the corporation, to the
membership" asked Mr.. O'Dono-
ghue.
IF anybody asks me-yes," the
witness replied.
Asks About Reports.
DO you ever hold any annual
meetings in Maryland or the Dis
trict or file any annual reports as
required by Maryland law? the
prosecutor inquired.
Il guess I have" Mr.. Glickfield
said. "The only time we get to-
gether Is at the club at Christmas
when we have a party. Whatever
is necessary, I guess my account
ant takes care Of"
Under further questioning, he
said the club takes in $4,000 a
year after expenses, which include
his salary. He denied he ever
pockets" the net proceeds, de-
claring that the profits go toward
paying old and new debts incurred
by the club and other expendi-
lures in the club itself.

once occupied by the Salvation
Army, is at COG E street N. w,
