New Haven, Conn., Oct. 25--Head Coach Stevens of the Yale football team, interviewed here yesterday on the Carnegie report on athletics, said, "Heaven knows I wish a few more athletes would come to Yale, and I'm sure we haven't been going out and signing them up.
"But what I do want to say, and say strongly is that I think these stories about Harvard and Princeton proselyting athletes are wrong. Why shouldn't a baseball player sell peanuts on Soldiers Field during the fall? Why should that place Harvard in the position of being accused of subsidizing athletes?
"It's a hopeless task to try to arrange any conference on the matter. Agreements with gentlemen like Bingham of Harvard and Kennedy of Princeton are worth more than 50 commissioners of athletics. A little common sense properly applied will be worth the most in the long run."
