Apart from the poor showing in the Rutgers

assumed a cheerter aspect yesterday when It was
learned that the Faculty Committee had suspended
temporarily at least the rules regarding the dis

probable that Wright and Morley with only one

committee does not desire TO shut out genuine stu

the purposes of football. Wright and Morley, I
happen to know personally. are not only bona flde
CoNegians. but students of UnQuestiOned ability and
