versity, the following protest against
two members Of the football team that

day:
Conclusive evidence exists that Raj

team of the Appalachian League last
summer under assumed names We feel
that these facts ought to be presented
to your committee. and we most earn
estly protest against these men partici-
pating in the game with our team Sat
urday."
Since the vigorous protest sent up
by the V. P. I. team against these two
men participating in the game at Roa-
noke last Saturday, Caroiina's athletic
committee and Manager McLendon
have been on the alert, and the above
dispatch to the president Of Washing

as to the ultimate termination OF this
protest as far as the University OK
North Carolina is concerned, nothing Is
definitely known just now. The pre-
diction is freely ventured by Carolina
men that II these men are allowed
