Four Local Hotels Offer Job Preference to Football Men

Football players seeking part-time jobs can count on preferential treatment from four local hotels. Officials of these hotels explained yesterday they have decided on this policy because they want the Crimson team to win so that people will come from out of town to see it play.

Lloyd B. Carswell, general manager of the Copley-Plaza, asserted, that a crack Crimson eleven is a "big boost to the hotel business" and that the Copley would give players an edge over other job applicants.

Hotel Avery manager Shaffle K. Hamsy cited his "personal interest in Harvard athletics" as another reason for handing jobs to players, but he emphasized that he had only a few openings.

Chauncey Depew Steele, Jr., manager of the Hotel Continental, and Charles O. Foss, assistant manager of the Vendome, both said they would give "special consideration" to football men, but they, too, regretted they had but a small number of positions to offer.

Representing the Boston Hotel Association, executive secretary Charles Coyle reiterated the "importance" of Crimson victories to hotel men and stated that hotel managers as a whole "are delighted to help the players." He doubted, however, that part-time jobs are plentiful enough to make practical a formal program by which hotels would unite to secure jobs for football men.

Holt Surprised

These statements came as a "surprise" to John W. Holt, director of the Student Employment Office. He said he has had little success in finding students hotel employment, although he has been able to offer one or two-night jobs once in a while.

Managers of the Commander, Statler, and Touraine hotels were not available for comment yesterday, while officials of the Ritz-Carlton, Somerset, Parker House, and Sheraton refused to state whether or not they would help football players.

Only the Lenox among those hotels contacted said it wouldn't hire football players. This hotel never hires college students at all.
