'W i ft k NO FINAL GAME 8ENI0R8 AND FRE8HMEN WILL NOT PLAY OFF TIE. Cold Weather Congeals Football Ar dor Players Fear Frozen Ground 8weaters for Both Teams. The captains and -.managers of the Senior and Freshman football teams, at a mebtlhg held yesterday morning .. at the Convocation period, definitely decided not to play off the tie that Exists between the two teams for the interclass championship this soason. This slop was taken after maturo deliberation on the part ' of all con cerned in the settlement of the cham 'plonshlp series, and in View of the con dition of the athletic field and of the weather. It is the concensus of opin ion among the players of both teahis that a final gamo would be Inadvisable ' and detrimental to the teams from r( physical standpoint and it is claimed that a disposition of the money on hand can bo made that will bjsatis- factory to all who have participated in the winning games. Tiio members of bpth teams are re quested to meet In U. 109 on Monday morning at the Gonyocatlon hour to decide how swentersshall be awarded and whether class numerals shall be used at all.. There, are several alterna tives in the wiys suggested to reward the members' of the two teams which are. tied. fOne of these is that all players in the teams in question shall receivo sweaters without numerals, The Second suggestion Is that the play eraaf both teams be allowed, to wear their class, numerals. The final plan , -proposed Is, that sweaters with numor-. alsVbe awarded only to those members of1 ttHKjyJnning teams, who mako the all-class teamt while plain sweaters' are awarded toall the other men in both teams. The- all-class team is to. bo picked by a committee appointed by the lnr terclasB athletic board, and it is thought that the last suggestion will be adopted. There is more than $100 'tq. bo, divided between the teamB and excellent sweaters are assurd to 'all of their members. z HON. W. J.
