pity had been known in the year 2215
it might have been said that pity was
reflected upon their faces. AS it was

The white-robed, sterilized nurse
would have been called beautiful

wealth of blond hair was hidden by
the hideous hood that was the fash

looked more like a mandarin.
She, too, gazed curiously at the

his station respectfully before the

EDDIE MARIAN
 NOT PUT UPON
 PROBATION LIST

Cambridge. Nov. 19-The Harvard athletic atmosphere was tingling with rumors of the disqualification of star members of the varsity football team. the most sweeping reports com ing from New Haven and Worcester.
 From Yale came the story that the Eli athletic authorities had something on Capt. Eddie Mahan and the dis qualified ha1fback Tom Enwright. JThe two Harvard stars, according to New Haven despatches, were mem jbers of a boys vacation camp in the White Mountains last summer where they acted as athletic instructors and lreceived pay. for such service. This lyarn was spiked by Fred w. Moore, lgraduate treasurer of the Harvard A A., who dnka statement said:
 .-Mahan wa9 employed as a eoun- zel1or at the Harvard Roxbury Tu- i1oring School in New London, a school which was backed, and owned by Yale man. The nature of the ] employment was not that of athletic Icoach in any sense of the. word. It 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 either case can there be the slightest question of payment for athletic services As a matter of fact, s1Eahan has never received a.scent for 1is work there though he was prom 1sed payment. He even paid his own expenses to and from New London.
 ssEnwright, I think, had some sim liar employment sonaeWhere in Maine. In both cases, the YaIe athletic au- thorfties have had ulIySl1f1ovle edge of the circunstances during the entire season and have, expressly stated that no question of professionalism would be or could be raised
 From other sources it was learned that Enwri ght and Nfahan, as well as BrIckley, in other seasons have been counseuors at Sid Curtis camp at Ashland, N H., but the acceptance of these positions in no way makes them professionals. Curtis is one of liar yards stanchest alumni and is gen orally credited with bringing Mahan, BrickIey and Capt Bingham of the Harvard track tearnf to Cambridge as students
 The Worcester Telegram, which first established the fact that Jim Thorpe received money for playing baseball in the South, yesterday ran a story that Enwrig1lt after graduat- Ing from Worcester Academy, played one game as a member of the ShreWs- bury seTni-p professional baseball team under the name of Thomas Enwright alleging he did not want his right name used because he did not wish his father to know he had played. It was stated further that a representa- tive of Harvard was Investigating the facts of the case, and it would be pre- scented to the athletic board.

PRINCETON WILL SUPPORT COACH IN
 SPITE OF LOSSES

New York, Nov. 19-It is pleasant to see Princeton standing behind the coach in the hour of disappointment. Apparently there is not the slightest disposition to criticize Rush for de- feats by Harvard and Yale. If cer- followed, however, Princeton would now be pronouncing the Rush regime a. total failure and bowling for the scalp of the speedy one. Princeton men take the proper view-thats Rush has accomplished wonders for his first year and has laid good foundation on which to build up a system which will be as hard for Yale to beat as the Haughton system Mas proved at liar ward. Prospects for next year are bright in the jungle. Out of a line which has been good If not brilliant only one man will be lost by gradua- ton. This is Brown, one of a group of ends who haved played 1son a pretty seven grade of excellence. He leaves Lamberton, fHighley and Marion Wil- son, brother Of the Yale captain. High " is first string end and Lamberton has been a close contender all season. Wilson is expected to develop into a star. The rest of the line including Parisefte and Mclean tackles; Nourse and Hogg, guards; and Gennert, cen ter will start the season intact. The m ost serious loss is that of Capt. Click who, in addition to being a fine quar- back has been an: unusually in spirfng leader Shea the speedy half back is the only other senior on the team, so that Princeton starts with the unusual advantage of having eight out kofeleven men back.
 Dave Tfbbott, who has. been classed close to Mahan of Harvard on account of his running and kicking ability will form a nucleus for a Backfield in which such fine men as Drfggs and M core will be found.

The Springfield Republican states today that a plan has been agreed upon whereby the Eastern association will receive compensation for its loss es and will no longer oppose a merger of New England and Eastern cities. Bridgeport is given a place in the pro posed circuit with New Haven, Hart ford and Springfield as the other cities in this section. Lowell, Lawrence, Worcester and Lynn are the Massa- chusetts cities. A salary limit of $1,8OO is planned. DeniaIs of this story will be in order in a few days
 The Yale Harvard battle is not the only game on the cards for tomorrow Dartmouth plays the strong Syracuse eleven in Syracuse and those old ri va1s, Trinity and wesleyan, mingle at Hartford.
 Twenty extra trains will be run from New York to Boston to take care of the football crowd tomorrow! A special parlor ear and coach train will be made up in New Haven tomorrow morning for those who can't leave for the game until the last minute.
 It looks as if Yale were trying to spread all sort of stories about Capt. Mahan of Harvard on the eve of the big game. The last report is that he received $500 for moving a lawn at a summer camp Mahan is very indig- nant over these stories. He says, My record before entering Harvard and during my college stay has been abso- 1ute1ys clean. have never done any
