 Coach V. A. Wilbur of the Arkansas College baseball team stated today that he has protested the game play ed yesterday afternoon between Hen drix College and Arkansas College, claiming that the score should have been to in favor of Arkansas Col | lege instead of 8 to 8, as the official score indicated. Coach Wilbur, in his protest, which will be filed with the executive board of the Arkansas Ath- letic Association, alleges that before the game was begun, ground rule was agreed to by representative of both teams to the effect that only one base is allowed a runner on an over- throw to either first or third base, but | that in the seventh inning, while Cook McQuistion of Hendrix batted the ball 1 to Shortstop Smith of Arkansas who made an overthrow to first, and that Cook was allowed by Umpire Haydon | to score and McQuistion was allowed to take third base Coach Wilbur claims that Cook should have been al- lowed to advance but one base on the play. As the official score at this time was to in favor of Arkansas College, Coach Wilbur will ask that the executive committee will award the game to Arkansas College.
 Coach W. M. Headrick of Hendrix i College told Log Cabin Democrat representative today that he would have nothing to say in regard to the protest until the matter is taken be- fore the executive committee.
