CORNELL FAvORS EARLY DATE
Would UHthrr N"w Mt PouGh-
L.rp.ic on june. 4. Than ON July I.

ITHACA. y Y. Drr. l@-Coruell is In
favor of an early dat, for the Pough-
kocpslt regatta. - WAS learned to-day
from graduate Manager Kent The lth-
acaus Will support June Il rather than
July when The board of stewards
meets to decide on a date for The races.
Although such an early date FOR the re-
ga,ta means that IA" cornell odrsmrU
viii have to go To poughkr.pSic earlier
than usual, and ~ a time when Sec
oud torn examinations begin here. the
faculty members OF the athletic council
and other university authorities believe
that this obstacle can be- removed by
sending a professor to Highland and
having him conduct examinations for
the oarsmeu there.
In view OF ihc facts hat the athletic
association would save a no iuconsider-
able sum in the maintenance OF the
crews n the race j. held June Il rather
than july ! and N. MO in the crew
would be able 20 return TO Ithaca for
announcement. the Cornell authorities
hcl'cva thai, there Is ample reason why
they should support the earlier date.
Coach charles !, courtney. who al
WAYS is consulted hetor" any owing
mans are made. gave his approval to
the early late. He said II would mean
harder training for the oarsmen. but
tidal conditions would he fairer for all
on June II.

DARTMOUTH REFUTES
PROSECUTING CHARGE
Investigation Shows That No
Attempt Was Made to Get
Minnesota Player.

Early IN tn" season a story came from
the middle West TO the effect that Dart
mouth was trying to wcan from the Uni
versity OF Minnesota a football player
named Ouist. The story wa accredited
to Or. VI. l.. Williams, tn" Minnesota
coach. and II looked az though a ra,hc
raw ease OF ~proselytiug had come to
light.
Dartmouth alumni were so indignant
when they read the story that they be-
gan AT once "A thorough investigation ~
the matter. \ statement Of the facts
discovered appears in the current Issue
Of the Dartmouth alumni magazine. and
shows clearly that the story was the
result of "A misunderstanding and that
Dartmouth men were .. no way to
blame. The statement reads in part as
follows
''Quist had for some years past bee,
more or less Interested in Dartmouth
College. He had talked with various
aluirn OF the institution and had learned
from them nat an ~impecunious boy
, who can satisfy scholarship conditions
may secure aid from the college to the
extent of $50 toward IA. $40 tuition
charge Beyond this small opportunity,
which is open - all alike. lie had re-
ceived no special encouragement.
"SHortly after the opening %: the foot
ball season this fan, however, Quist
called upon Dr. Williams and inquired
as to his prospects for - place on the
| Minnesota team. In course Of the con-
ycrsation he suggested to pr. Williams
thai he had an excellent opportunity to
60 to partIouth. pr. Williams, assu'n-
iug The comp cte accuracy OF GUSTS
statements and reading into them pre-
haps more than the actual words war
rauted. Later made some uuguarded re-
marks TO newspaper reporters. who
s,.zed upon them and gave them wide
publicity.
Inquiry on behalf Of the Dartmouth
Alumni Council Was conducted in Mime
sofa by Henry j.. Thrall of the class
of 1906. In a letter to Mr.. Thrall, under
date OF October 20, 1918. Dr.. Williams
makes substantial withdrawal Of what
ever assertions may have been credited
to him by the newspapers, He says in
conclusion. 4 am sorry Mat a reflection
has been cast upon dartmouth, and VIII
do what | can to help ~straighten il out
The alumni council conducted It's in
V~estcatiou solely for the purpose OF
defending the good name OF Dartmouth
aud with no desire To enharrIss any
individuals involved iu the case. The
ing been completely cleared and docu-
mcnts having been filed with the secre-
tiry Of the council, the affair, in 81 far
as Dartmouth is concerned, is considered
satisfactorily closed"
