Charges of Professionalism

is Expected at Harvard-The
Story is Discredited at Cam
bridge

New Haven, Nov. 1S.-The Register
this evening has the following: "Ac-
cording to reports three Harvard foot
ball players are involved in charges of
professionalism.
1.-THE three men whose names are
mentioned are: Cults, tackle; Camp
bell, left end and captain, and Ker-
nan, left halfback.
ut is said" the Register continues,
that Herman has played baseball for
cash and specifications of his receipt
of $50 for pitching a game in South
Boston last summer are said to be
pretty well substantiated.
THE case of Cults. it is said, was
the teaching of football at Haverford
College, Pa, three years ago.
David Campbell, captain and left end
got ready for Harvard at Worcester
Academy. He is alleged to have
coached promising youngsters In foot
ball and other athletic sports not for
the pure love of the sport.
1t is learned authoritatively that so
far Yale has made no protest.
Cambridge, Nov. 1S.-The Harvard
football practice today was not very
encouraging. The varsity was able to
score only two touchdowns and a goal
from the field from the 25-yard line by
Marshall in 20 minutes of play. ker-
nan and Ristine both played for the
first time since receiving their injuries
and showed poor form on account OF
lack of practice. The backs started
slowly and were ragged in their forma-
ton, although they did not tumble.
All the men, with the exception OF
Blagden and Campbell, played their
regular positions. Campbelps knee is
getting along and he engaged in signal
practice with the rest of the team,
while Blagden has returned to the
training table. The defense Of the
varsity today was weak.
In regard to the report sent out from
New Haven stating that the eligibility
of Cuts was questioned by Yale, Capt
Campbell tonight gave out the follow
ing statement:
Cults is entirely eligible for the foot
ball game of either Harvard or Yale
under the rules which prevail at both
universities There Is no question OF
professionalism and has been none. The
management has not received a pro
test fom Yale. Mr.. Cults was In inter
collegiate athletics three years at Bates
College, taught mathematics at Haver-
| ford Preparatory School and is now II
| the second year of the Harvard Law
| School"
The undergraduates had an enthusi
astic rehearsal of songs during the
dinner hour at Memorial Hall, tonight
New Haven, Nov 1S.-Head Coach
Stillman, contrary to expectations took
the Yale University football team to
Yale Field for practice this afternoon
but contented himself with having the
men run through signals without any
scrimmage. 1t had been expected that
the team would be given complete
rest
The coming of Malcolm L. Mcbride
and James o. Rodgers, former captains
and head coaches, caused Mr., Stillman
to call the team out in order that their
proficiency in the new plays might be
ascertained. The team knew the sig
nails in the formations but there was
less of the team unity in execution than
on Friday last, and scarcely any more
than in the Princeton game.
In the unused formations, however,
there was more team movement, but
not sufficient speed to satisfy the crit
ical coachers. Individually the players
were given some strength by the coach
lers, and the men left the field with a
standing as a team. Tomorrow the
signal work will be heightened, and en-
deavOr made to key the eleven up to
the playing form requisite. Trainer
Murphy urges the coachers to be care
full of the men as some of them are not
far from being fine if their looks count
for anything
The second eleven and the third
eleven was given hard practice follow
ing the va sity's secret work. The sec
ond team scored two touchdowns from
the centre of the field and another
from the 25-yard line, by fast line
