HOUSE CHAIRMEN MEET TO DISCUSS ATHLETICS

Increasing cooperation between the various Houses was evidenced last night as the chairmen of the respective committees met in Lowell to discuss the question of House athletic regulation. This is the second meeting held; the first occurring a month ago when the new plan for House Squash was evolved.

Last night the men agreed upon a plan whereby the Houses should pay the $200 necessary for House athletic trips and medals, an expense which can no longer be met by the reduced budget of the H.A.A. The provision will go into effect as soon as it is accepted by the respective House committees.

Another topic under discussion was the coaching of House athletics, upon which the decision was reached that henceforth all coaching should be done by members of the Houses. Kirkland already has two football coaches who are resident tutors, and the committee chairmen felt that this move might well be made general.

Such a system as the above is carried even further in the English Universities, where captains of the "college" teams are chosen who also act as coaches, thus eliminating the extra cost of employing graduate students to carry out this job.
