For the first time in three years, fight talk of the war will revert to anxious shouts of encouragement as Harvard and Yale formally resume their 64-year-old gridiron series.
Colonel William J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletes, released the news last night following a telephone call from Ogden Miller, Eli's athletic director, which would up two-day-old negotiations.
Saturday, December 1, has been agreed upon for a date, with the Yale Bowl once more the scene of action.
Unexpected return to peacetime sports required that both colleges extend their schedules beyond the traditional Thanksgiving weekend wind-up, but the excitement of renewing the favorite rivalry is expected to make December weather bearable for the spectators.
Last Game in New Haven
In anticipation of having the first postwar game next year, and since the 1942 game took place in New Haven, the '46 schedule presumed that it was Harvard's turn to play host, so Col. Bingham agreed on the present terms rather than upset plans already made for two years ahead.
"We're trying to get back as close to normal as possible, as quickly as we can," Col. Bingham said, and emphasized that this was to be a "formal" game in every sense of the word.
Decided Last Monday
Athletic committee officials at a meeting last Monday agreed to approach Yale on the matter, so Co. Bingham left for New Haven Tuesday to make the arrangements which were concluded yesterday.
Attempts to put other Crimson and Blue contests back on the usual timetable this year failed for reasons varying from unwillingness to prolong seasons in the case of minor sports, to Yale's lack of a coach and a place to row for the crews.
