Regarding an exclusive story in The Star yesterday to the effect that the council had voted to abandon the an- nual contest in pursuance of a new athletic policy that would do away generally with local competition, Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of George Washington, issued the following state- ment to the Morning newspapers: “Concerning the _story aboui the Catholic University-George Wash ngion athletic agreemeni—inasmuch as the athletic director of Catholic Unive Mr. Bergman, asked our physical education, Mr. Pixice, up with him the of & rmew EORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY'S athletic any answer made senting our unive rectly to Mr. Bergman (today).

EW YORK, February 16.— A possible complication in! the recently resumed ath- letic relations between Harvard and Princeton appeared today in the decision of Yale ath-| letic authorities to end its foot; ball season against these two rivals in alternate years instead of having Harvard as a final op- ponent annually. Whether it was the beginning of a move toward the revival of the old ‘Big Three” in foot ball or an action which might hamper friendly relations remained in doubt, as the action met with strong undergraduate criticism | from Harvard. Plan in Effect This Year. ‘The experiment of playing Princeton after the Harvard game, which has brought the Yale season to an end on the traditional Saturday before Thanks- giving since 1900, is to begin this year. The revised Yale foot ball schedule | calls for Yale to meet Harvard Novem- ber 21 and Princeton November 28. The November 14 date, originally al- lotted to Princeton, is left open. A three-year period has been set for the alternate arrangement. It is to be continued after 1933, “unless and until altered by mutual consent.” Although William J. Bingham, ath- letic director at Harvard, said that it was “a matter between Yale and Princeton alone,” the Harvard Crimson, undergraduate daily, strongly criticized the action in an editorial today. The “This new policy, although defensible, is not understandable for this reason. Harvard men do not like Yale's action. Abruptly reversing, without explanation, a mutually pleasant tradition, the Yale athletic authoritives have made a ges- ture unquestionably to be wondered at.
