GOOD WILL HELD TO BE IMPOSSIBLE Final Break Comes Over Resolutions On Policy By Crimson Board. Princeton. N.

Nov. 10 (special 1. The board of athletic control of Princeton University, at a special meeting tii'i evening, unanimously voted to sever all athletic relations with Harvard because, in the opinion of the e-omm'ttee, "competition carried on in nn atmosphere, of suspicion and ill will of necessity falls short of all desirable objectives of intercollegiate sport." This action of the board of athletic control, whose meeting was attended by President John Grier Ilibben as an ex officio member, is to take effect immediately. Although Princeton is willing to complete all athletic engagements for this year should Harvard dci irc. in the opinion of the committee these contests would now nppeur "Good ill Impuaaltite." Following is the letter from I'r.

Charles W. Kennedy, chairman of the of athletic control of Priiicrturt I diversity, to William J. llinghuni, director of athletics at Harvnrd: My Denr Sir. Hinghom: At meeting of the Princeton board of athletic control, held this afternoon, the lard voted tinaiiiimmsly to sever athletic relations with Harvard in all sports. We have been forced to the conviction that it is at present Impossible to rxivl In athletic eonlpelition with Harvard that spirit of cordial good will between the undcrgrnduut" bodies of the two universities which should characterise college sport.

UnJess itlih-tlc contests between collegia grow out of and repffdnt-e feeling of friendly rivalry and mutual respect there enn be no valid reason for their, continuance. Competition carried on in an atmosphere of suspicion and ill will of necessity falls short of, all desirable ob-. jectlves of Intercollegiate sport. t'nder thctie circumstances 1 we prefer to discontinue coniictition with Harvard altogether. Should juu wish, we will, of course, complete such engagements as may have been scheduled between us for the present academic year.

We should regard these contests as Inadvisable, hut we will be glad to discuss the matter with you, should you so desire. I may also add that Princeton, so far as she concerned, would never accept the implications of the athletic policy recently ndopu-d by the Harvard committee on regulation of athletic and set forth In their resolutions of Octoiier IS, which I received this morning. Sincerely yours. CtlARt.KS W. KF.NMEDT.

Chairman. Board of Athlnllo Control. Trouble Dates To Last rail. Princeton's action today means the ilenth of the "Big The trouble between Harvard mid Princet4i first came to the surface in the early fall when it was rumored that Harvard intended to drop Princeton from her f'tot-hall list and schedule a game with the University of Michigan on the date of the annual Princeton game. This threatened break In tbe "Big Three' was averted at a conference of the authorities of Yale, Princeton and Harvard In their desire to continue the historic of the gridiron between the three sister universities.

The Unity Princetonian published an Indignant editorial, the Harvard Vrimion, the more sedate college publication at Cambridge, and the Yale AVirs also devoted much editorial space to discussion of the comical efforts of the Lampoon editors, and the pot again boiled over with tndignatioo. Today the lid blew off.

The editorial of the Daily Princetonian demanded a showdown on the relations of the "Big Three" and voiced the opinion that tbe articles of r.hv Lampoon reflected the opinion of only a minority of the Horvard undergraduates. The Yale Newi expressed the same opinion, and the Harvnrd faculty and athletic authorities Immediately disclaimed responsibility for the articles. President Hibben of Princeton also said he thought the matter was of no great importance, but apparently the sentiment of the undergraduate bodies of both Institutions had not been accurately estimated. During the recent disturbance Princeton authorities have maintained silence. (Continued on ease 16.

Dorothy Dix's description of the Hall-Mills murder trial be found on Page 6 of today's Sck. From a tilaft Correspondent. 'Somerville, N. Nov. 10.

An old-fashioned, black-handled, straight razor which the State' is expected to try to connect with the "slashing of Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills' throat four years ago, was exhibited in the Hall-Mills murder trial this afternoon and described by a witness as "very much" like one frequently seen lying around in the bathroom at the home of the Rev. Dr. Edward W.

Hall. Introduction of the razor as evidence during the examination of a physicinn created only mild interest at the time but a matter of sensational importance when, a little later, a former maid in the Hall household pronounced the instrument much like one had seen many times in the clergyman's bathroom. State Scored Two The razor episode constituted the second direct blow administered by the State during the day in its prosecution of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall and her two brothers, Henry and "Willie' Stevens, who are charged with the murder of the clergyman, Mrs. Hall's husband, and Mrs.

Mills, a choir singer in the church of which Dr. Hall was the rector. The other principal State stroke and whether or not either of them is damaging is problematical was a clear- cut effort to show that autopsies per formed on the two' bodies at the time of the crime in 1922, were hasty, per functory and unsatisfactory. Earlier Autopsy Shown As Faulty. State Senator Alexander Simpson, special prosecutor, worked swiftly and with ungloved hands to knock down the earlier verdicts of examining physicians and to sustain the report of Dr.

Otto Schultze, who, in an autopsy performed on the bodies last month, announced that Airs. Mills' tongue and larynx had been cut out with a sharp instrument. Mr. Simpson got from one of the physicians who performed the original autopsy an admission that he had not opened Mrs. Mills' mouth and, therefore, could pot say whether or not the tongue and Irynx were missing.

From another who was present at the autopsy he obtained statement that this physician had seen the "windpipe or larynx," but noted that it was retracted. He knew nothing about the tongue. Former Maid Prove Model Witness Barbara Tough, tbe former maid, who gave the razor description, was one of the most interesting witnesses yet to take the stand and her deportment and testimony were the high lights of the day. She is an engaging little woman of about thirty-eight, neatly dressed tjul possessed of a clear, modest voice and a strong, rich Scotch burr. With utmost politeness ingrained in years of service as a domestic, concise and instant answers, and a thorough comprehension of questions that sometime became involved, the shy little servant was a model witness.

Her answers generally were confined to a respectful "Yes, sir," or "No, sir," (Contlnned on Page 7. Column 3.) Frenchman or Frenchwoman placed flowers on them.
