That Harvard is discarding at least one traditional feature in planning its 1927 football schedule was evidenced when it was announced in Cambridge yesterday that the Crimson eleven would meet the University of Indiana next fall in the fifth game of the season. Since this is the week before the Princeton contest, Harvard will be meeting one of the strongest of the "Big Ten" Conference teams just before the opening of the "Big Three" gridiron series. For a number of years it has been the policy of the Harvard authorities to play a comparatively easy game before the contest with the Tigers, and the decision to play an intersectional contest with Indiana comes therefore as a distinct surprise.

Mr. Bingham declared last night that a further announcement regarding the remaining games on the 1927 schedule would be made in the near future.
