NO INDIFFERENCE

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The Crimson's editorial of October fourteenth is valuable for the light which it throws on the difficult situation of the 150-1b. crews. But it leaves the reader with a mistaken impression. The present confusion is not due to the HAA's "not seeing its way clear to end a clearly makeshift situation."

The HAA had secured a man to replace me as early as last May. It was his sudden decision not to coach, made just before Registration, which caused the current difficulty, and not any indifference on the part of the Department of Athletics.

Similar confusion would exist anywhere else in the University if a professor or administrator resigned just before classes began. H. O. J. BROWN, '53
