MAJOR MOORE REPRESENTS HARVARD IN FOOTBALL

PENNYPACKER AND GEER GO AS VISITING DELEGATES

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Harvard will be represented by Major Fred W. Moore '92 at the two-day meeting of the National College Athletic Association which is to be held in the Hotel Astor on December 29 and 30. Mr. Henry Pennypacker '88, the newly appointed chairman of Harvard's Committee on Athletics, and Mr. W. H. Geer, head of the Department of Physical Education at the University, will also attend in the capacity of visiting delegates.

At this annual meeting more than 200 colleges from every part of the country, including the Pacific coast, will be represented. Committees will be chosen to consider any changes in the rules for football, soccer, basketball and a number of other sports for the coming season.

Coaches Will Clash Over Pass

The Football Coaches Association meeting, which takes place on December 29, is likely to produce a lot of fireworks when the exponents and opponents of the forward pass and other disputed features of the game, clash over a change in rules. Harvard's delegates to this meeting have not yet been definitely decided upon, but Major Moore intimated that among the University coaches who would make the trip, are E. W. Mahan '16, captain of the 1915 football eleven and assistant coach at Cambridge this fall; Coach Knox of the second team: and T. J. Campbell, coach of the Freshman football team. Coach Fisher, who has never been in the habit of attending these mid-winter conferences, will not be able to attend this year either.
