Boston, Jan. 16.?Football has been abolished at Harvard, pending a re form in the game that will be ac ceptable to the board of overseers, ac cording to an official announcement from the university. The discontinu ance of the game is a result of a vote taken last week at a secret meeting of the board of overseers, when it was decided that intercollegiate football at Harvard would not be permitted until the rules and regulations had been so changed and amended as to remove what the overseers regard as the evils of the present game.
