VOTE FOOTBALL "H" TO EIGHT SENIORS

The recognition of Polo as a minor sport, the awarding of the football H to eight Seniors who did not participate in the Yale game, and the appointment of G. E. Abbot '17 as chairman of the Baseball Advisory Committee, were announced yesterday by Major F. W. Moore '92, in a report of last Monday night's meeting of the Harvard Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports. This announcement follows the one made directly after the meeting of the newly elected Football Advisory Committee.

The Committee voted to recognize Polo as a minor sport on the recommendation of the Student Council. Action pertaining to the financial support of Polo was deferred until a later date.

Eight Football Awards

On the recommendation of Captain M. A. Cheek '26 and former coach R. T. Fisher '12, football letters were awarded to C. E. Baldwin '26, G. D. Braden '26, E. J. Clark '26, N. S. Howe '26, Hiller Innes ocC., W. B. Macomber '26, E. R. Nash '26, and R. W. Puffer '26, Senior, members of the squad who did not play against Yale.

The appointment of Abbot as Chairman of the Graduate Baseball Advisory Committee followed the resignation of H. R. Hardwick '15 from that position. The new chairman played second base on Captain Hardwick's championship 1915 nine, and on the 1916 team which also won a championship under the tutelage of Fred G. Mitchell, present coach. The University did not turn out a baseball team in Mr. Abbot's senior year. The vacancy in the committee, caused by the resignation of Hardwick will not be filled it was announced.

Iselin Receives "H"

The Committee also voted to award C. O'D. Iselin '26 the second crew H on the recommendation of the Student Council. Iselin, who captained the second University crew last spring, was forced out of the boat just before the Yale race. No announcement was made on the four other second crew letter recommendations by the Student Council.

The request of a number of graduate students that they be given authority to organize a Graduate School team to take part in a skiing tournament at Lake Placid during the Christmas holidays was also granted. The provisions were that such a team must obtain the approval of the deans of the several graduate schools, that it must be representative of the various graduate schools as a whole, and that the name adopted by the organization be approved by the Chairman of the Committee.

Polo Becomes Permanent

The decision of the Committee as regards Polo will mean the definite establishment of a sport which has been in a precarious financial position. This fall the members of last year's championship team, all of whom returned to the University this year, voted to maintain Polo for Harvard at their own expense. The expense of equipment, ponies, and a playing field have been a heavy burden on the players, although it is believed by Captain C. F. Clark, coach of the Crimson four, that the game will amply support itself if stands are erected.

Of the Seniors who were awarded football letters, Howe, Puffer, Innes, Braden, and Clark were backs, and Baldwin, Macomber and Nash were linesmen
