Onc1als last night said they didn't
Jake any stock in the story that Har-
Vafu was planning at the last moment

shape OF a protest against Glass, the
pug Yale guard. Glass a year ago
ftarted in with the university football
squad and continued to play until his
eligibility was questioned, and Yale
Fook him out of the championship
games. Yale has Investigated the
Story In circulation that Glass several
years ago played on SYRIA cuse team
the members of which were paid to
play in an important contest, and has
ascertained the facts to be as follows:
Glass formerly belonged to a SYRIA
cuse school team. This team was Of
Tered $50 for each player who engaged
IN the game. Glass expecting a fu1-
fure In base ball playing, refused to ac-
cept the offer and did not play in the
game. Another student assumed the
name of Glass and did play with 9TH

GLASS appeared on the score card
Yale has documentary and other evil
dence to prove that Glass has a per-
rect right to play in the game with
Harvard. But there seems to be an
Otner complaint against the giant
guard. Some one in Cambridge states
that Glass took part, or at least was
entered, in the intercollegiate games

Syracuse university. while he was
