Stadium Meeting Set By Collins, Whitlock

University officials will confer with Mayor John F. Collins and Boston school system administrators within the next week on whether to permit the Boston-English-Boston Latin game to be held in Harvard Stadium in the future.

The University will defer a decision on barring the game from the Stadium until attempts can be made to work out a compromise solution with Boston and Cambrige.

Cambridge City Manager Joseph A. DeGuglielmo '29 asked President Pusey in a letter Monday to deny use of the Stadium after high school students returning from the game staged a Thanksgiving Day riot in Harvard Square.

"We're going to use the DeGuglielmo letter as a basis of discussion to see what can be done," Charles P. Whitlock, assistant to the President for civic and governmental affairs, said yesterday.

Seek Compromise Solution

President Pusey and Whitlock discussed the DeGuglielmo request yesterday. They decided to talk with Boston officials, Whitlock said, and then speak with DeGuglielmo and Cambridge Police Chief Daniel J. Brennan to try to work out a mutually acceptable solution.

Whitlock listed several steps to prevent another disturbance that would stop short of a flat refusal to permit the game. He mentioned additional police protection, busing students to and from the game," and channeling part of the crowd into the subway through the MBTA yards on Mem Drive, so that they would not have to enter the Square to catch the train. Whitlock also suggested that a different date for the game might reduce the size of the crowd.

Boston authorities are conducting their own investigation of the incident. Robert B. McCabe, associate director of physical education for Boston schools and the public school representative at the game, said he was preparing a report on the disturbance that would be completed today.

McCabe said he and other officials at the game were unaware of the riot until that night. The Stadium is within Boston city limits, but the mob collected in Cambridge around the MBTA entrance in Harvard Square.

DeGuglielmo called the incident an act "of pure animal savagery" and cited the necessity to prevent "displays of mob violence" in requesting the University to "outlaw any permission of future football games between the rival Boston High School institutions in Harvard Stadium."
