F. Barton Harvey '43, captain of the baseball team, was elected president of the Harvard Athletic Committee yesterday at a meeting which planned to use team manager's suggestions as a basis for cutting athletic costs.
Under the new program, William J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletics and permanent secretary of the Committee, will request reports from managers of each team on possible economics, which will then be put into practice as far as possible.
Savings are necessary, Bingham and the Committee feel, to compensate for rising costs of travel and supplies as a result of the war, Only by such economies, they maintain, can athletics be continued at Harvard.
