the matter and prepared this report Tor
the newspapers:
The committee had before it the re-
port of the Reid-Stone art department
that Griggs is a regular student in that
department, taking more than the
minimum amount Of work required,
that he registered in that department
long before the baseball season open
ed, that he has attended the school
regularly and that the grade of his
work has been satisfactory. Upon this
report from the Reid-Stone DEPART
ment, the committee could see no
more occasion to take any action in
Griggs' case than in the case of any
other member of the nine The state
ment which appeared last week that
Griggs had fbeen declared ineligible
was without any foundation. The COM
mittee met yesterday for the first time
and could see no reason for declaring
Griggs ineligible, and so adjourned
without taking any action"
