HARVARD PROTESTS
THREE PENN PLAYERS
Says Zilligin, Smith, and
Zeigler Are Ineligible.
QUAKER MANAGERS ANGRY
Declare They VIII Play the Men in
Question in Spite of Charges
Made by Crimson.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. g. Har-
ward has protested three of Pcnnsyl-
Vania's players Smith. Zeigler, and Zil-
ligin. The protest was received in the
form OF a letter from Captain Mar
shall TO Captain Metzger. of the Red
and Blue. and when il fell into the
Quaker camp at Mount PocOnO the
effect was much the same as If a lyddite
shell had expioded.
In a twinkliTg the news was flashed
to Philadelphia, and soon it had crept
over the university campus. and not
since the famous McCracken contro-
versy has there been such a sensation
in football here.
The Harvard letter asks the Quaker
captain whether he intends to play the
three men mentioned in the game on
Saturday, and states that Harvard con-
siders them ineligible under the one
year residence rule.

While nothing could be officially

protest. IL Is understood from the high
est authority that not only does Penn
expect TO play Smith. Zeigler, and
Znligin. but that the Red and Blue con-
siders such a question by the Harvard
captain on the very eve of the game
as an un1ustihable outrage Of the ethics
Of college sports.
They base this on the fact that ever
since Harvard and Penn have been play
ing the eligibility questions between
them have been settled b. the athletic
committees of the two universities
These committees are composed Ct pro-
fessors and trustees. men OF the highest
integrity. who pass on The eligibility OF
every athlete of those institutions.

Harvard's Protest Too Late.

IN view of the fact that Yale and Iar-.
ward had agreed that all protests must
be in two weeks before a game. by reg
istered letter at that. Pennsylvania
considers it extremely discourte0us Of
Harvard's captain to protest any player
three days before the game.
Smith played on State College last
year on October and then entered
Pennsylvania and completed an aca-
demic yea, as is compelled by the rules.
Zeigler was in the Ursinus College and
played on an eleven purporting 10 be
the Ursirus College football team. I'll
ngin's case is exactly the same as Eel
gler's. he having been a student ut the
Utah University preparatory school and
also played on team representing itself
10 be the Utah UniveI 4lty team
Pennsylvania athletic committee
some time ago decided that Smith had
fulfilled the requirements Of the rule
as laid down by the Brown conference
The Zeigler and ZilliGin cases were de-
cided on the ground thst they played on
school teams and net college teams.
These men all played on the Pennsyl-
vania eleven since the beginning Of the
season. and Pennsylvania says that
Harvard had plenty Of time TO protest
any one Of them.

SULTAN SHUTS HIM UP.

London. The Tangier cores
pondent of the Morning Leader says
in a dispatch: The sultan, fearful
of the growing popularity of his
brother, Mulai Mohammed, has or
dered him to be imprisoned again.
The American protestant mission
aries have been compelled to leave
Fee. The situation is serious. The
Times publishes a dispatch from
Tangier saying that the news re-
ceived there from Fee under date of
January 4 is less satisfactory than
former reports. The Hainer tribe,
whose treachery led to the recent
defeat of the sultan's troops, is re-
ported still to be aiding the rebels
in spite of its recent offers of submis-
sion. The situation undoubtedly is
serious, says the Times correspond
emf. The rebels are reported to be
nearing Fee and the sultan is re-
pairing the defenses of that city.
The people are disconnected with
the action of the government and
ready to welcome the victor of the
struggle, whoever he may be.
