STANFORD UNIVERSITY. April "a
The undergraduate community of Stan
ford university was given a shock this

by the dismissal of the Al upper class
students, when it was officially an
nOunced by Chairman Clark of the stu
dent affairs committee that two stu
dents have been indefinitely suspended
and that a third-the editor of the
Stanford SeQuoia-will never be al
lowed to register again.
The announcement Of the committee
reads as follows:
AT a meeting of the student affairs
committee held today the following
actions were taken: The privilege Of
reregistration in the university was
permanently withdrawn from the editor
OF the Stanford Sequoia for his abuse
OF the privilege OF the college press in
his editorial in the last number of that
periodical For violation of the regula-
tions governing students under suspen-
sion a student will not be permitted to
reregister in the university.

said 10 have been warned by Professor
Clark TO keep of the campus, but the
temptation to watch the team he was
to have captained in the intercollegiate

great and he violated the ruling of the
committee.

 The crimson and white never had chance to score much less to win. And seeing the heIplessness of the home team, Georgia played like a cyclone She never let up. Her men ran bases bunted. squeezed and hit the ball out of the lot. At times hits fell as thick as ripe apples in the fall and the field presnted a panorama of flying white legs.
 Pollard sent Merrill Pratt in to pitch but after five runs had been garnered by the Georgians in the first inning he retired him in favor of Smith. For two innings he fared very well, but in the fourth. Georgia put four more runners across the pan. In the sixth one. and in the ninth one, Sturdivant having replaced Smith in the eighth.
 Harmon. the lanky Georgian. who pitched the first game. was again on the slab and he was master of the situation throughout. He gave up only four hits and had admirable control.
