STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. ga
Two prominent Stanford football stars,
James Lee Arrell and Leroy Minturn.
were suspended from the university to-
day through action OF the student af-
fairs committee on charges OF conduct
unbecoming gentlemen and students.
Almost simultaneously Minturn was
also suspended through action of the
scholarship committee for delinquen-
cies in scholarship, giving rise to the
unique case of student being twice
dismissed from the university in one
day
Although no names were contained In
the formal notice OF the action of the
student affairs committee which was
posted on the bulletin board this after
noon, there was no room for doubt as
to the identity OF the two men referred
to.

CHARGES MADE BY WOMEN
The order of the student affairs COM
mittee suspending the two men reads
as follows:
At meeting of the committee on
student affairs held this date, two
men. guilty of conduct unbecoming
gentlemen and students in public
place were suspended from the uni
versity. A. B. CLARK. Chairman.
The charge against the two students
was that on the Monday following the
intercollegiate game at Berkeley they
| Alto under the influence Of liquor, and
| were drinking on the train. The in
| formation is said to have been given by
! women who saw and recognized them,
and despite their denials the evidence
| was deemed sufficient to warrant the
| suspensions.
| SCHOLARSHIP RULE REPEALED
| The suspension OF Minturn by the
scholarship committee probably will
OF that committee toward prospective
members of athletic teams. Formerly
| a number of teams were materially
weakened a few days prior to i'm
| portant games by action of the schol-
arship committee in regard to team
members delinquent In their studies.
Two years ago rule was adopted by
the scholarship committee that reports
Of delinquencies in scholarship regard
ing a member of a varsity team re-
ceived within three weeks of the big
game would not be acted upon until
after the game
1t was stated today that Minturn
failed to attend classes for about two
weeks prior to the game. and has since
| failed to attend. AS a result of this the
| committee today repealed the three
weeks rule on the ground that a de-
| liberate advantage had been taken Of IL
The notices of suspension sent out
| today by the student affairs committee
| do not state any length Of time of sus-
pension nor indicate whether the action
| is of a temporary or permanent nature
