GOLFERS MAY TAKE TRIP TO ENGLAND

Pugilism Fails to Gain Dignity of Minor Sport--Polo Team Awarded Insignia

The proposed trip of combined Yale and Harvard Golf team to meet an Oxford and Cambridge combination in England next summer received added impetus when the Harvard Athletic Committee voted, at a meeting last night, to look with favor on the plan. Definite arrangements will be deferred until the Committee has the opinion of the Yale authorities on the project.

The attempt to establish boxing as a minor sport failed to meet the approval of the Committee which voted against the adoption of the project this spring.

Approval was given to the visit of the 150-pound crew at Kent School for the first three days of the spring recess. The stay in Connecticut will close with an informal race with the schoolboy crew on April 20.

The Athletic committee decided further to award the "PHT" insignia to last spring's polo team. Five men will receive the polo insigna; R. B. Burnett '28, Alexander Shaw '28, R. A. Pinkerton '27, J. D. Stranahan, Jr. '26, and E. W. Mudge '27, manager.

Announcement was made also of meetings on diamond and river with the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on May 19, 1928, coincident with the meeting of Harvard Alumni in the same city.

Of the three schedules made public, only one, the list of matches scheduled for the University tennis team for the Southern Trip to be made during the Spring Recess, lists contests to take place this spring.

The schedule follows:

April 16, Agawam Hunt Club at Providence; 18-19, Mason and Dixon Championships at White Sulphur Springs; 20-21, Norfolk Country Club at Norfolk, Va., 22, Chevy Chase Country Club at Washington; 23, Columbia at Rye.
