Walter Camp Heads to Europe in Yale Harvard Talks
Walter Camp Yale athletic head sails to Europe, signaling that no new Yale Harvard agreement will be signed before the current year ends. Harvard shows little appetite for renegotiation though a football game is set for next fall and basketball and hockey matchups are planned. The four year pact expired last March, with post expiry games folded into spring schedules. Yale expected Harvard to seek conferences on a new agreement with revised eligibility rules, but none was requested.
