College May Drop Spring Grid Drills

Athletic Director Thomas D. Bolles revealed yesterday that the Faculty Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports is at present considering the dropping of spring football practice, but that no decision has yet been reached.

It is understood that the Committee met Wednesday afternoon to discuss the abolition of spring practice, but if any policy was decided upon, it has not yet been released.

This is the first news that Harvard is contemplating the same move that Yale announced two weeks ago. It is known that all Ivy League colleges were informed in September when Yale secretly decided to give up spring training.

Ivy Presidents Meet

Athletic directors and presidents of all Ivy Group colleges are expected to meet some time in the next two weeks to discuss the whole problem of out-of-season practices and the two-platoon system.

At the same time, Bolles could not comment on Harvard's policy on the NCAA television-restriction plan, which comes up for consideration next month. He added however, that "We've supported the NCAA before on this."

Earlier this week, Robert Hall and Ralph Furey, athletic directors of Yale and Columbia, respectively, emphatically favored the restriction plan, which has been unofficially termed "Illegal" by the Department of Justice.

Bolles also revealed that among the compulsory accident insurance policies which the H.A.A. is investigating, there is one which would cover all athletes and another which would cover all students.
