KING NOT LIKELY TO PLAY.
Harvard Athletic Committee Inclined 10
Think FOur.Year Rule Bars Him.

CAMBRIDGE Nov. O. - The Harvard
Crimson tomorrow will contain the fol-
lowing:
"E, o. King, who has been playing al
centre on the Harvard University team,
was expectedlytwithdrawn from the Har-
ward eleven in the game against Penn
sylvana. as the result Of a decision reached
by the athletic committee early Saturday
morning When King first became cam
didate for the team, he produced a GER
tificate from the athletic committee Of
Indiana University that he had been a
member Of the regular football eleven
of that university for three years. and
that he vas eligible for one more year
under the four year rule.
"On this information he was allowed TO
try for the Harvard team. but II became
known later that in addition TO his three
years AZ regular representative Of the
University Of Indiana, he had played during
his freshman year on mixed team, contain
ing players hot then in the college. This
team was hardly up To the standard Of the
Eastern school teams, a. organized foot
ball was only Just beginning in his uni
versity. There is difference Of testi-
mony and Of opinion as to whe, her the
games during the freshman year CON
stituted representation Of the university
but the Athletic Committee ruled him
out in the eliefst lhe had had four years;
within the spirit and intention of the four
year rule.
1T is unlikely that he will be restored
for the Yale game.
Harvard's Athletic Committee is handling
this case with delicacy because Of the OK
periencp Of the Cults case. SO long as that
body is not absolutely convinced OF Kings
eligibility he will no, be allowed TO play.

The cause of the explosion il believed TO
have been the gradual scaling away Of the
inside of the boiler, due TO the strong salt =
and alkali in the water. An engineer who
examined the wrecked boiler yesterday
said that he judged the shell had originally
been made Of three-eighths inch steel but
scaling had worn this down TO sixteent h
of an inch, and even then there were ri's
in the steel, which must have reduced this
thickness To thi-ty-sacond of an inch
The destruction Of the plant will not seri-
ously AFFECT the water supply in Astoria. as
