HARVARD CLUB TO FETE HOCKEY SIX

President Lowell Will Be Among Large List of Speakers--Horween Forced to Be Absent

A dinner at which the future athletic policies of the University will be discussed is being held tonight at the Harvard Club. The purpose of the dinner is twofold since it will serve as a celebration of the 1926 hockey championship as well as being a general athletic symposium. Although it is being held at the Harvard Club it will be sponsored by certain individuals who are or have been connected with the University in some capacity.

To Outline Sport Program

The plan tonight is to restate to a more general audience the new athletic policies outlined by W. J. Bingham '16, Athletic Director, at the recent Harvard Club dinner for coaches, captains, and managers, and to afford an opportunity for an exchange of opinions from a variety of sources.

President Lowell to Speak

The dinner is exclusively for invited guests, about 150 of whom are expected to attend. Among these are President Lowell, several of the Overseers, the members of the athletic graduate advisory committees, the coaches and captains of the major sport teams, and the members of the 1926 championship hockey team. Coach Horween of next year's football team, who is at present absent from Boston, is the only one directly connected with the University athletic body who will be unable to be at the dinner.

Bigelow '22, coach of the hockey team Thayer Cumings '26, captain of this year's hockey team, and W. P. Ellison '27, captain-elect of next year's hockey team.
