False Keport That stanford Would Los,
the Athlete


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 25.-
The report in a San Francisco paper to-
day to the effect that Charles Eickert,
Stanford's crack guard, was about TO
transfer his allegiance from Stanford to
Harvard is looked on in college as huge
joke. Ex-Captaln Fickert has never en-
lertained thought OF forsaking the cardi-
nal. If, however, he was willing to make
the change TO the Grim son the conditions
are such at Harvard that it would be i'm.
possible for him 10 play on the Varsity
this year. There is a regulation in force
at Harvard preventing a man who has not
spenta year in the college from playing
on the first team. Again, the fact that he
was not registered III person at Harvard
before the beginning Of the football sea-
son would 20 far toward excluding him
from place on the Varsity.
tiekert Intends TO 90 10 an Eastern col
lege next year after graduation here, and
Is in correspondence with Harry Cross,
last years coach. In one of Cross letters
he intimated that Fickert's work was oil
the right quality to make the Harvard
team. This is all the foundation, in fact,
that the story had
