member OF the faculty, met In Earl Han
and thres,ed out the matter Tor stferal
hours. Columbia's entrance into FOOTBALL
after ten years of exile for mixing pro
fe~ssionaiism with amateur STANDARDS
has made the question very vital TO the
revival campaign now being waIed on
Morningside Heights.
II has been rumored that
will not interfere II Trinity plays Brick
ley. But this had little grounds for
truth. A member Of the COMMITTEES on
athletics, speaking unoffiCially last night
before the group went into secret session,
said:
Trinity caves little room for arbi-
tration when she insists that Rrickley
play or Trinity won't play at all. or
course we admire her for not playing
the part OF "A hypocritc. but still we can
not show such little respect for our own
eligibility rules a. to accept hers as the
better.
