MONEY NO OBJECT TO HART
Refuses to Commercialize His
Captaincy at Princeton.

Princeton. y. j.. Dec. eddie Hart
captain of Princeton's football team last
fall. has refused to commercialize his posi-
ton. and has returned the checks he re-
ccived from Princeton alumni for subscrip-
tions to a magazine. which had succeeded
in securing his consent to sending out let
ters asking subscriptions over his sig
nature. His letter TO Princeton men
through "The Alumni" weekly follows
ITO the Alumni Of Princeton:
After the circular letter asking for your
subscriptions to Current Literature had
been sent out over my name. ! came to the
conclusion that il ought not to have been
sent
when the Current Literature people
made the proposition to me they said they
were sending similar letters out for ath-
letcs Of other colleges, and taking it for
granted that il was all right ! said Yes
10 the proposition and thought no more
about # until one-third OF the letters which
it was proposed 10 send had gone out and
! was beginning to receive subscriptions.
Il then suddenly realized that the sub
scrptions were coming TO me- not because
Of any work / was doing for Current
Iiteraturc.' but because / was captain Of
the champion Princeton football team.
Why ] did not realize this before do not
know. but now ] do realize it know / can
not accept the money ] am not willing
10 commcrcalizc my position as captain
Of the football teap for my own personal
gain.
THE Princeton alumni, TO whom the
letter went. have responded 20 generously
that ] know ! would have won the scholar
ship. ] feel very grateful 10 them, but
after what ! have just said | think all
will understand why / cannot accept the
money. ] am therefore returning all the
checks which have come in with many
thanks TO those who have sent them for
their kindness and an apology for the
trouble 10 which ! have put them.

Beats Low After a Hard
Match-Whitney
Also Wins.

Two of the fastest squash matches ever
decided upon the courts OF the Princeton
Club resulted yesterday in John w. Prem
tiss and George Whitney gaining their
places in the semi-fnal round Of the open
handicap tournament under the direction
Of the National Squash Tennis Association.
Both OF the contests went the fun limit o.
three sets.

for the national championship last season.
demonstrated his skill by overcoming his
burdensome handicap and defeating j. o.
Low. Of the Heights Casino Brooklyn,
scratch man, by a score of 15-u, 10.
15-12. In accomplishing this remarkable
piece OF racquet work Prentiss was all fire
and action and revealed the whole baglul
Of squash tricks.
In the upper section George Whitney, also
OF the Harvard Club. gained the semi
final round by defeating S. Hinman Bird,
one IF the Princeton leaders, after three
eruelling sets at 9-l5, 15-7, Isl. The two
important contests attracted a gallery that
crowded the balcony at the back of the
court
There wera few present who believed that
Prentiss would be successful in carrying
his handicap Of minus 10 aces and or no
count. Low, CT the Heights Casino, was
at scratch. and he forced the playing all
the way. Prentiss was first in or service.

Shafer. winning i'm a Vienna opening after
thrty-fve moves. Kenyon, Of Princeton
tried a kings gambit, no doubt with the
special brilliancy prize In mind. The gambit
was declined by Wise, who proved the bet
ter man I'm a long drawn out contest Of six
ty-two moves.
Captain j. y. Beadle was again the last
man 10 finish, and, as on the day before,
his game with Van Vlict, Of Princeton,
lasted seyenty-nine moves. Beadlc relied
upon the Sclian defence, but Van Vliet
obta ned shade the better Of it In the COM
bination play that followed the opening
moves He maintained the upper hand until
the ending, when Van Viet had two minor
pieces against Beades rook They were
content TO draw, but we're directed to con-
tinue 4 repetition Of moves thereupon
brought about the same result under the
rules
For Harvard Schoonmaker had the hard
est game Of the match with Yale. Hooker,
Of Brooklyn who also had to contend with
Sclian defence. held him at bay for
slXty-seven moves. The former won in
difficult rook and pawn ending. \ Giuoco
Piano between ITadley, Of Harvard, and
Beach, Of Yale, ended in draw after
thirty-sx moves.

bit uncomfortable for Seiniger, of Harvard,
but the latter turned the tables after a
careful defence, and scored after forty
seven moves. Harris. of Harvard. and
Forbes, OF Yale. reached pawn ending by
noon, with the Cambridge player two pawns
ahead Eventually. he scored in ffty-two
moves
