BARRY WOOD TO BRING OUT BOOK ON FOOTBALL

Volume Will Be Published on 2nd of November--Gives Author's Own Idea Of the Game

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Announcement of a book by W. B. Wood Jr. '33, former Harvard football star and Phi Beta Kappa student, to be published on November 2, under the title of "What Price Football," was made yesterday by J. W. Crickard '33, who will act as distributing agent for the book in the New England area.

The book was written over the summer by the author, who attempts to repute the many charges brought against football by prominent writers and critics, that the game, as played in college, is nothing less than a more grind which is of little benefit to the players. Wood, who is well qualified to express his opinions on the game, having played for three years on the Harvard Varsity and having been named All American quarter back in 1932 treats the subject from the player's point of view. It does not consist of a player's random reminis cences nor is it a technical study of formations but merely Wood's conception of the game.

Wood has also interested himself in the medical side of football.
