The 62-year-old Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports will be disbanded in July as one more step in the College's reorganization of its athletic system, it was learned last night.

All functions of the old committee, whose nine members included faculty, alumni, and students, will be assumed by the new director of athletics, the new Faculty Committee on Athletic Sports, and the newly-reorganized Overseers' Visiting Committee on Athletic Sports.

Although the old committee will continue to meet monthly through June, letters from President Conant last week informed members of the committee's impending disbandment.

Merely Advisory Group

Control of football policy will still be strongly centered in the hands of President Conant, Provost Buck, and the Corporation.

One University source yesterday described the new system as "more representative and less clumsy," since alumni interests will supposedly be centered in the revamped Overseers' advisory committee and Faculty interests will supposedly be represented in the new advisory committee which William J. Bingham '16 will chair.

What will happen to the undergraduathletic groups is still unclear. One spokesman said the Administration would now turn to such groups as the Student Council for advice. There has been no word yet about the fate of the Undergraduate Athletic Council, which existed to advise the old athletic committee.

Opposed Schedule Change

It is understood that the undergraduate members of the old athletic committee--who represented the athletic teams--were opposed to the Administration's plan to lighten the varsity's 1952 football slate.

There are indications, however, that the new Overseers' committee, which convened last weekend for the first time, represents more than one shade of alumni opinion. Part of the committee strongly asked Conant and Buck to ease admissions requirements and increase scholarships for would-be athletes. Reportedly this group later adjourned to the A. D. Club, where it also discussed such things as a demand for a review of all current coaching and training staffs.
