HAMILTON FISH PROPOSES POST-SEASON GAME WITH PRINCETON FOR CHARITY

Hamilton Fish, Jr. '10, Representative in Congress from the twenty-sixth district of New York, urges a post-season charity game with Princeton in a letter to the CRIMSON yesterday. Fish was captain of the University football team and an all-American tackle. His letter reported earlier in Associated Press dispatches, but not received until yesterday afternoon, follows:

"My reason for writing you is to urge the CRIMSON, if in accord with its policy, to come out openly for a post-season game with Princeton, the proceeds to be distributed to the unemployed relief fund. Unemployment is the chief issue in the United States today, and there is no reason why Harvard University should stand aloof and hide behind some technicality as a reason for not joining every other large university in permitting their teams to compete in post-season games for the unemployment fund, as suggested by Owen D. Young, Chairman of President Hoover's Committee on Relief, fund mobilization.

Permission Not Needed

"Is there anything to stop the football squad from playing such a game anyway, without the permission of the President of Harvard University? I know that when I was in the law school I organized and played on a team against the Carlisle Indians in Fenway Park in Boston the next year, after I had left the University.

"A game between Harvard and Princeton, either in New York City or in Boston, on December 5th, would draw an enormous crowd. I have every reason to believe that such a game would be welcomed by the graduates of both colleges. I believe the CRIMSON could develop sufficient public opinion behind a well directed move to secure this game.

"Technicalities are made to be disregarded during emergencies. It is right, fair and good sportsmanship that Harvard should do its part and not hide behind archaic regulations to avoid its plain duty."
