GALLEY HAS BEEN CANNED"
AFTER SEASON is OVER FACULTY
FINDS HE is PROFESSIONAL.

The washing of dirty linen in college
athletics has struck Colorado. and BOul-
der is one of the first schools to purge
itself Of professional football players FL
win Galley, who was considered the star
fu1back Of the west until Fred Bennion
showed Colorado fans how to play the
game, has been barred from all athletics
at Boulder. He has confessed he took
money for his services on the team, and
and the faculty promptly put the ban
on him for the future.
Boulder refused to Join the proposed
Rocky Mountain league, which II was
hoped here in Utah would result In d
clean set Of rules to govern college sport
IN this and the surrounding states. The
Colorado school seems to think itself
superior TO the other schools in the
Rocky Mountain region and does not care
to be considered in their Glass; Boulder
would not object to a league with the
larger schools Of the Missouri river COUH-
try and, it is thought, is trying to form
such d combination.
Ekeley Talks Athletics.
DR.. J. B. Ekeley, chairman of the board
Of control of the Boulder school, has
given out a statement on Boulder's stand
in athletics which will be Of great in
terest to the schools Of this ssate on ac-
count Of their close alliance with Colo
1ado schools in sports. He says:
The University Of Colorado intends To
stand for clean athletics in every branch
Of sports. Every man who plays on its
teams must be an amateur in every way.
Whenever accusations or charges of pro
fesstOnalism are brought against any of
the players the accusations viii immedi-
ately be investigated, and IL they are
sustained the man. no matter who he
may. be. will BE- debarred from further
participation.
'In the case of Edwin Galley the board
found. and Galley acknowledged, that he
had received money from various stu
nTr7 If 81
for his services, and though he remains
in school he will never again be allowed
to play for the university.
In the case of T. p. FOOte similar
findings were made. but no action was
taken. as he left school before the dis
coveries were made.
If there is any report that other Colo
RADIO men are under consideration it Is
without foundation, as no charges have
been made against any other men, and
none Of them are under suspicion.
one-Year Residence Rule.
''The university has adopted the one
year residence rule for men coming from
another college, but this viii not apply
to high school students who enter the
school. Graduates OF other colleges Will
be debaFred from participating in Corp
fedo athletics, but our own gradua y
Will be allowed to play If they do H
come under the 4-year-Tule. This will x
very strictly enforced and the records
of all men coming from other schools will
/ be closely investigated.
THE board of control does not consider
/ football a detriment and has no inteu-
[ ton OF abOlishiHg it for two years. The
/ University of Colorado will have p foot
/ ball team next year
'"The reason that the university does
rot care to be represented at the inter
collegiate meeting in Denver is that Colo
RADIO does not care to again join r Colo
radO OF ROCKY Mountain intercollegiate
/ league and does not intend to be ham
/ pered in any way by the other state
/ colleges. The only kind Of league that
/ Colorado would care to join would be
Missouri valley conference. composed Of
/ Nebraska. Kansas Missouri and Colo
RADIO. This would ally Colorado with the
/ big schools without hempering its &C
