COLUMBIA NOT YET
SURE ABOUT TRINITY
Correspondence Will BE Made
Public as Soon as Reply
Comes From Hartford.
no TICKETS ARE on SALE

Harry A. Fisher, graduate manager
OF athletics at Columbia, denied yester-
day the story coming from Trinity to
the effect that Brickloy will play against
Columbia on Saturday. Fisher said the
Blue and White committee on athletics
will make public to-day all correspond
ence between Columbia and Trinity pro-
vided an answer to the last letter from
Columbia is received.
AT the time the story came from
Hartford" said Fisher. 'our last letter
had not been received. The first letter
was most friendly and the answer was
equally cordial. The Trinity authorities
told us that they are drafting "a new
set Of rules which will be submitted to
the general board for action after the
close OF the football lseason. For Colum-
bia to make public any part OF the cor
respondence until We have heard from
Trinity would be unfair to the Hartford
college"
The Columbia campus Is anxious to
know whether the game will be played
or not. Columbia followers have been
getting ready for the Trinity game in
the hope that IL will he played, but that
II may yet be called of IL shown by the
fact that no tickets have been placed
on sale.
