COMMITTEE PREPARES WINTER SEASON PLANS FOR HOUSE ATHLETICS

At a meeting yesterday of the Inter-house Athletic Committee, plans for the remainder of the fall season, and for the winter season, were discussed. Several changes, as well as additions, have been made in the winter sports program.

The closing date for the house tennis tournaments, which are now all under way, has been set for Friday, November 4. It is hoped that all the Houses will complete their tournaments on or before that date, as the weather undoubtedly will not permit much tennis after that time. A House touch football league will be formed, and the games will commence on October 31, lasting until November 22. A cross country run will also be held on Wednesday, November 9, over a two-mile course along the Charles. Coach Mikkola will arrange the course in the near future. A House sculling regatta has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 26, and will include the following events: a wherry race, over a one-quarter mile course, a compromise race, over a one-half mile course, and a singles race, over a three-quarter mile course. The races will be under the supervision of Coach Wachter.

The committee added five sports to the House winter schedule this year. They will be: wrestling, boxing, handball, indoor baseball, and fencing. Basketball, squash, swimming, and winter relays will again be included in the program. Squash this year will be composed of four leagues, it was decided, instead of the usual A, B, and C leagues, thus allowing more men to participate in the sport. Boxing and wrestling will be slightly modified, including only three or four classes, instead of the usual seven.
