Spring Grid Practice Dropped in Little 3

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Williams, Wesleyan and Amherst will "remove some of the over-emphasis on athletics" by dropping spring football practice in 1952, Williams President James Phinney Baxter 3rd announced last night, on the eve of the annual Little Three "Potted Ivy" game between Williams and Wesleyan.

The members of the Pacific Coast Conference made a similar move recently, when they issued a 20-point program for future football policy which included ending spring practices.

Baxter hoped that further limitations on "overgrown aspects of college sports" such as restriction of football scouting might result from talks among the three schools.

Coach Lloyd Jordan, who was football coach at Amherst before coming here, refused to comment last night.
