Traditions can be maintained only...
...story as published in this morning's papers, that Mr. Haughton has agreed to continue as head coach of the Harvard football team, is not true. Mr. Haughton desires to have it known that the report is without foundation, and beyond a flat denial of the statement as published, does not care to discuss the situation...
