Faculty Tried to Bar Colville.
An effort was made by the faculty
to rule out Colville, a halfback and end
sub. Colville's only grounds for dis
qualification were that the faculty
hadn't taken the trouble to look up his
scholarship record to see whether he
was eligible or not. This didn't keep
the athletic authorities from putting
CoIville in the game. The lineup:
