PENN STAR ELIGIBLE.
Draper, AIl-American Tackle, VIII
Be Allowed to Again Play.

Philadelphia, March SD. w. Draper.
the unanimous choice OF the football
critics for All-American tackle last fall.
was yesterday declared eligible by the
University of Pennsylvania faculty ath-
letic committee to represent the Red and
Blue on the gridiron again next fall, on
and after October p. Draper's case is
one of the most perplexing that has ever
come before the committee. and their de-
cision is the result of several weeks con-
sideration and study OF the big tackles
record and of the eligibility rules relating
thereto.
The whole trouble was in deciding
whether Draper had already completed
his four years of college football. He
played one year at Swarthmore and then
spent two at Springfield Training School.
where he also played football, but this
does not count as college football. En-
tering Pennsylvania in the fall of 1905, he
played in several OF the preliminary
games, but on October 2. before any i'm
portant contests had taken place, he was
declared Ineligible because he had not
been a year at Pennsylvania since play
ing at SwarthmOre. He played through
the seasons OF 1866 and 1907. making three
complete years and the fraction OF an
other
The committee decided that the season
of 1915 should not count as a full year,
but only as that part 81 year during
which Draper was actually playing, thus
making him eligible for all the big games
next season.
