STAGE ON THE
MAXWELL CASE
Says He Did Not Hound the
Player, as Has Been
Alleged.

Chicago, Sept. 29-Football fans at the Uni
versity Of Chicago We're greatly interested in
the reply of Mrs. Maxwell to the assertion that
her had left school because he paid to
do so. In a statement given out yesterday she
declared Max had been furnished sufficient
money to pay his way at an eastern school by
his parents, and he left Chicago because he
had not been treated fairly by Coach Stage.
Director Stage denied he had treated Maxwell
other than was his usual CUSTOM and that Bobby
had left the midway because of outside
agency. Maxwell came to me this year and
asked that he be given his board" said Stage
but informed him 1t could not be done here.
That is the only thing have done that could
prove disappointing to him He did not tell me
he had decided to enter another school, but
told the team that he was going to
ton for going. He, expects to play there this
year. 80 r
'.As for my bounding him out Of college, as
Mrs. Maxwell seems to charge, I have done
nothing more than refuse him free board If
that is hounding' I am afraid that we would
lose the whole team. The trouble rests with
Max himself, who despite his great bulk, is
still more Of a boy than a man. I understand
he has encouraged propositions from other insti-
buttons ever since he has been DIN the university.
He is not loyal to the school and never has
been.'
