Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1901-11-15

al card that l have been selected for
the fall baseball squad. DO you sup
pose that my work as university
preacher will interfere with this latest
appointment? Moreover. | am not
quite sure that my rece<d and standing
as ali undergraduate make me eligible
for the nine. DO you suppose that
Captain Wendell has looked this mat
ter up thoroughly before selecting me!
II should be extremely sorry to have
any suggestion of professionalism at
tacb itself to the nine for the coming
season through my selection. and
should like to have the manager and
captain understand that l am quite
ready to withdraw from the squad II
1t Is for the best interests of Harvard
athletics that should do so. I should
have preferred to be in football"
