"Columbia's crack football eleven OF

haitian field, was professional eleven.
The humiliating confession is now made
by the university faculty and the ath-

manager of the eleven has been made

committee, after examining his ac-
counts, has removed him from all par
ticipation In the uniyersity's athletics
Mitchell has left Columbia"
All the story now comes out In letters
published in the students organ. the

fair, the students organ says:
I'VE are sure II is the true sentiment
OF every Columbia man that Il Is
preferable to be beaten In football or
any other branch OF sport by our weak
est opponent rather than have a sue
cessful team at the slightest sacrifice Of

that his "Cyrano" did not come up TO
