According to man prominent in ath-

association-not much cognizance is
likely to be taken Of the charges of
Coach Bill Foley. as printed in these COL
umns Saturday afternoon. Whatever is
done in regard to the matter will be at
the behest Of Manager Wymard. who re-
turns from Boston today. AS soon as he
arrives the affair will be brought to his
attention, and it will be left to him to
decide what is to be done further.
1t Is likely. though. that the charges
will be simply ignored, as most of them
from all accounts are groundless. The
assertion that there is clique at the
school is. according to the man men,
toned above. ridiculous. No crowd Of a
few would ever be tolerated to rule over
the athletic affairs Of the whole uni

members of the executive council is
given. At the present time the executive

was picked by Coach Foley himself,
three of the men being selected from per-
sonal observation and the other by time
trial. In this respect it might be men
toned that three of the relay men are
from the law school, while the other man
is a day scholar, a fact which should go
far to demonstrate that no sights of any
kind have been administered to candi-
dates from the downtown departments
or to those not boarding at the college.
Money as Asked.
The charge that those at the head OF
athletics at the school constitute clique
which works for the interest OF the
friends of the members Of that clique is
said to be baseless and is shown to be
such from review of the seven men
holding high athletic offices. The Presl-
dent of the yard, John Power. was elect
ed unanimously at the annual meeting
last June as were also Secretary Carter
and Treasurer F>lume. These three men
have interferred with track athletlcs only

into the discussion as to how the track
letters were to be awarded this year
When the vote on the matter was taken,
though they all cast their ballots for
the plan proposed by Manager Wymard
New, according to Foley. Manager Wy
mard is doing good work, so that. since
everything which has been proposed by
this head of the department has been
agreed to readily by the rest Of the execu-
tive council, it hardly looks as though a
clique entered into the matter at all. At
any rate. If clique did interest itself. 1t
did exactly what Wymard wanted, and
according to the coach this was what he
himself wanted.
