COLUMBIA'S ENTRY
MADE CONDITIONAL
(By Hal Sheridan)

written for the United Press)
New York, March 24.-Columbia
University wants football. The whole
student body and the thousands of
alumni want it--even at the price the
faculty wants to make them pay. The
Blue and White wants to line up
again with its contemporaries
ward, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Pennsy
and resume its rightful place in the
athletic world.
They'll probably get tiff what
they're going to get can really be
called football. It's rather a travestv
on the game to call what Columbia is
going to get football, but it'll have to
pass.
Here are the conditions under
which the faculty will permit football
to come back to Columbia. Look
at EN-; they're good:
Only students in the college will be
eligible to play.
Any student who decides in his Sc
Nor year to take up engineering OF
law or architecture automatically be-
Neither Harvard, Yale, Cornell.
prlnceton or Pennsylvania will be on
the schedule for 5 years.
And lastly-this is good, don't miss
1.-THE student body agrees not to
protest during the five years to any
OF the foregoing conditions. Cute,
isn't it?
Here is a university-the largest in
the country, by the way-that can
meet only secondary colleges and
schools like Rutgers, Tufts, Colgate,
Williams and the like. That is one
good laugh.
Here is another-Columbia has
about 5000 students, only about 600
OF which are in the college itself
the others are specializing-and II
players must be picked out of the 800
who will have the support of 5000.
And still another-any student in
the college who specializes in his Sc
NOR year automatically becomes in
eligible. In other words, after a
coach has developed a Brickley or a
Coy and he decides to fit himself for
his lite's work in his senior year-he
can't play football.
anu CHe ldSC ana DeSJ-that the STU
dent body agrees not to protest to
any of these mandates for years |!
If the student body, 5000 of them,
will agree to these, then Columbia
will be allowed to take her place in
athletics again. Otherwise not.
1t looks on the face of it that the
faculty is taking the one best pos
sible course to kill the game-by
making it so ridiculous and absurd
that the students will become disgust
ed and abolish it of their own ac-
cord.

 Was it true, as Abe Bloom, the gam bier. had hinted. and Abe Bloom had known the lady of old, that Vivian Marston possessed several husbands and that her marriage, secret and nasty. to Blair in Richmond previous to their flight with the diamond was null and void?
 Blair's mother had taunted him with fhis and had lightly dismissed the thoughts of Vivian and the marriage from her mind. It was Blair's mother also who constantly inspired him with thoughts of Esther The very day the letter had come from Vivian to Blair Blair's mother had received a letter

 For a few brief moments of anguish. torture and fatigue the reckless gypsy. crawling up from the sea, cared little whether he lived. died or fell into the hands of his enemies. But with re turning breath and life came fear
 Lowell knew that in the murky wa ters beneath the moon a brine stran- gled corpse heayed with the tide What answer had he to give to his enemies regarding this dead accompIice or his living self. There had been q strug- gle in the boat, death combat in the water. cry across the night. gurg ling, hideous cry and then silence And now the shouting crowd upon the pier was searching with eager eyes across the waters for the living or the dead.

 In this letter from Lawyer Hunter, a letter in reply to some queries Mrs. Stanley had made, the lawyer had written:
 Dear Mrs. Stanley-In reply to your in- quiry the diamond from the sky Is legally the property of any sole heir of the late Colonel Stanley, whether son or daugh- ter. irrespective of family tradition re- garding il and the earldom of Stanley. etc. Very truly. RALPH HUNTER. SR..
 Attorney at Law
 Mrs. Stanley had shown this letter to Blair
 You know my suspicious she re marked Il have reasons to believe that this girl Esther Harding. k the real and only heir to all that Colonel Stanley died possessed of. We have no proof of this. but believe the gyp- sy woman, Hagar Harding. possessed such proof and the girl now has it
 Whatever this proof is. 1t can be as sumed that the girl carries it with her. especially now that she has disappear ed. She would not be likely 10 leave so important q document in any hid ing place.
 We cannot move in the matter le. gally. for suspicious are not evidence. Mrs. Stanley went on. Any lawsuit might mean the return of Arthur Stan ley to tell the truth 50 far as he knows it regarding the death of Dr Lee You would be implicated and the gambler Abe Bloom and the detective, Tom Blake. evidently possess proof of your guilt
 For while the gypsy woman, Hagar. who has been an imbecile since you struck her, had only photographs of the discriminating thumb prints, it is eyi- dent that Blake and the Blooms have the originals thumb print on the bad check and the thumb prints you left in the doctors study on the cashbox and elsewhere. The price of their si- Ience is the diamond when It comes to light
 If this girl is the rightful heir of Stanley. the diamond is hers. and if Arthur Stanley is an impostor. the earl. dom in England is yours.
 We are bound to silence owing to your rash and reckless acts. We must make the most of the situation If 2 stranger has bought Stanley hall the sale Is not legal. and if this girl Esther | Is the real Stanley the estates must he restored to her, and the diamond from the sky rightfully belongs to her j What will she care for the family tra- ! ditions if it ever comes about that she i Is able to prove or desires to prove her claim?
