To the Little Men:

The story in the CRIMSON last week re-aroused in us the interest of the light-weights in a football team of their own. We played house football last fall and found it lacking in everything we 150-pounders like in the game. There is no reason why light men should not have a chance to play a good, fast brand of football on the intercollegiate level. For us, a 150-pound team would be safer than playing against some of the heavier men in the House league.

We suggest, therefore, that some interested person in each House and the Yard dormitories post this letter and a petition to be signed, so that the general interest of the College can be determined.

Petitions with a considerable number of signatures could be turned in to the Sports Editor of the CRIMSON or to either of us to serve as a basis for future action.

We feel sure that many local colleges, such as M.I.T., Tufts, Boston University, Boston College, Holy Cross, and Brown might see their way clear to supporting 150-pound teams, too. Others within close travelling distance are Dartmouth, Yale, Williams, Bowdoin, Amherst, Maine, New Hampshire, and Coast Guard. Trips to the New York area would not be too long or expensive. Cornell 150-pound teams for year have travelled to Princeton and Annapolis for games.

The players might even be willing to provide private transportation of their own, if a schedule were worked out. Peter Marble '47,   Lowell E-41.   Patrick F. Bowditch, '48,   Lowell E-54
