...Harvard-Yale intramural game in the Bowl would fit in with Hall's plan of possibly reducing the Blue football schedule from nine games to eight. Hall said he thought the "Open-Closed" Stadium game here one week ago had been "a very good idea." But he added that he had not yet gone over the proposal with any Harvard officials...
