HARVARD STUDENT BODY
HEARS WHOLESALE RUMORS

treasurer. spiked the rumors in the
following statement:
'HMahan was not employed in the
White Mountains at any camp or oth-
erwise last summer. He was employ
ed as a counsellor at the Harvard
Roxbury Tutoring School in New Lon
don, a school which was backed and
owned by a Yale man.
The nature of the employment was
not that of athletic coach IN any
sense of the word. II was the same
kind of a job as Capt. Wilson. OF the
Yale team. had at the Yale Roxbury
Tutoring School, also at New London.
IN neither case can there be the
slightest question of payment for ath-
letic services.
"As a matter of fact Mahan has
never received a cent for his work
there, though he was promised pay
ment. He even paid his own expenses
TO and from New London.
'Enwright. think. had some SINH
lar employment somewhere in Maine.
In both cases the Yale athletic au-
thorities have had full knowledge OF
the circumstances during the entire
season and have expressedly stated
that no question OF professionalism
would be or could be raised"
The varsity had its last home prac-
tice today, 1900 students being on
hand to cheer the team. After prac-
tice the SQUAD left for the Vesper
Country Club near Lowell. where II
will rest up until a few hours before
the Yale game. Yale's squad reached
Auburndale today and will practice in
the stadium tomorrow.

The GonZaga team started out poorly

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. ls.-Right
merrily the rumors of wholesale dis
qualifications of members of the Har-
ward football team fluttered about
Crimson athletic circles today ana
charges and counter charges gave the
undergraduates something TO talk
abotit as we'll as quite a bit TO ponder
over.
The frst report was that not only
Tom Enwright had hit the probation
toboggan because OF scholastic ineni-
cheney, but Capt. Mahan. Joey Gilman.
and Billy Boles had fallen down the
chute in like manner. This report
gave undergraduates at Harvard the
cold shivers until proven false and
hardly had the boys resumed their nor
NAL being when along came a report
from New Haven that the Yale athletic
authorities had definite Information
that the great Mahan and the disquall-
fed Tom Enwright had acted In the
capacity OF athletic instructors at a
vacation camp for boys in the White
Mountains last summer and received
payment for doing this work.
Mahan denied there was the least
smirch against his record. and de-
cIared that he would like to see the
man who would make such a state
ment The Harvard captain added:
Il have heard these sneaky slurs be-
hind my back. II any man believes
that / have done anything that might
bring shame to Harvard OF myself. let
him stand forth like a man and say IL.
My record before and since entering
Harvard is absolutely clean"

HOLD LONG PRACTICE
FOR SOLDIERS GAME

A long signal practice was given the
Vigilant football eleven last night by
Coach Palmer Derby in preparation for
the game Sunday with the Battery +
team OF Fort Myer. champions OF that
post. and not a single man was alb
sent. Taylor. Miller, ''Shag" Rawlings.
and Kelly showed up exceptionally
well in the drill and in all probability
this quartet will start against the SOL
diers on Sunday.
In the last two games played Cuppy
Farmer has shown up better than any
time since his beginning with the Vigi-
lants and will more than likely start in
one of the back field positions for the
rest of the seasons games. -.
Every night this week the Vigilants
will hold practice, as they are not TAX
ing any chances with the Fort Myer
club. Arrangements are being made
now with some strong club for a game
for Thanksgiving Day. but Just who

FORTY YALE PLAYERS
LEAVE FOR GAME

New Haven. Nov. 1s.-Yale's squad
was given a parting ovation by 5000
undergraduates and alumni when II
left here this afternoon, the crowd
marching behind a brass band to the
railroad stations. when the players
embarked for their training camp at
Auburndale, near the Harvard sta
dunn. Exactly forty players were
taken.
Yale has made no protest of any
Harvard players nor will any be
made. according to Prof. Robert Cor
win. head of the Yale athletic COM
mIttee. Time OF making protests
passed last week. according to the
YaIe-Harvard agreement
Yale undergraduates believe that
Capt. Mahan should be investigated
for his connection with summer
camps as athletic counsellor the past
two seasons. His case may come up
at the e-HarvardPrinceto eligt-
bilIty conference in New York city
next week. Should Harvard start him
against Yale and awkward disclosures
be made at next weeks meeting the
situation might be embarrassing.

HARVARD LOSES ENWRIGET.
Stnr Back Is Dropped ON Eve of
Game with Yale.

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. lS-On the eve
of the contest with Yale. the Harvard
football team lost one of its strongest
half backs when the college authorities
ruthlessly stepped into the situation and
plucked Tom EnwriGht out of varsity
competition Enwrisht failed to pass a
satisfactory test during the recent ex-
aminations, and as reward Is out OF
Harvard sports for some time to come.
Enwright was the huskiest man in the
Harvard back field. and Percy Haughton
in an effort to have some beef to launch
at the Yale line had just about decided
to start the Fall River boy against the
Blue instead of Billy Boles- Enwrfght

It is to be a skinny year for the players.

Western Looks Best In
Scholastic Game Today
Ochsenreiter Picks Red and
White Eleven to Trim Cen
trail High IN Final Gridiron
Battle.
MUST HALT DUTCH PECK
By EUGENE OCHsENREITER,

Captain Of Technical High School Football Team,
Champions q the High School League.
In looking over the two opposing teams
which battle today in the last of the
seasons game, Western should win but
only after one OF the most interesting
games Of the year. From the dope az
present Western should win by at least
one touchdown as Business defeated
Central. and Western held Business to
a tie.
Probably this dope will not work out
correct. through the fact that the
Stenographers were overturned when
Western faced them. while they were in
top-form when they met the Central
team on the BrookIand Field It Is
hard to choose a winner as there have
been so many upsets in the dope. but
the foregoing is as near correct as
possible.
Should Western put up kicking game
they will gain more ground in this way
than by rushing the ball as Peck's boots
will easily outranEe those OF Jake
Mcdonald. for Central The success OF
Peck in getting the punts away also
will have quite a bit to do with tbs
Westerns line is conceded as the best of
the two.
The Western team will outweigh the
Central bunch. but weight never tells
in a Western-Central battle and the same
sort of battle which these two schools
have put up for the past ten years will
be on tap for the followers of the sport
this afternoon.
Western has a slight advantage in the
way OF offense. as they have Whelchell,
Peyton, O'Brien and Peck. while Central
will be compelled to depend upon this
work OF Capt Ockstadr and Jake Nc
Donald. The game today has the final
bearing on the picking OF the mythical
eleven by the high school experts and ir
can be expected that every man on this
field will be out there fighting.
Both teams are in tine best Of trim
and should be able to put up one Of
the greatest games ever contested by
the teams representing the schools
