Scholarship.

ARE TO GO AS WELL
Crimson Team Crippled When
Haughton Pupils Fail to Per-
form Well in Exams.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Marck Harvard
ia without a football captain. The col
leee administrative board to-day re
ouested ]. A Gilman, of Honolulu, TO
withdraw from college because OF ms
failure 10 pass the mid-year examina-
lions. Nor did the college authorizes
content themselves with banlshing the
STAR tackle Of the eleven. Billy Boles,
who was halfback on last seasons
team, and Tom Enwright, one OF the
best Of the substitute backs, were also
asked 10 withdraw from college, on &C
count OF their inability TO buck through
or TO skirt the stanch defence present
cd by the examinations last February:
Under the faculty rules, Gilman and
Roles are through with Harvard attn
letics. They may enter the university
again. IL is true, but neither will be,
allowed TO take part in athletic competl-
tion. AZ each has been in scholastic
difficulties before Enwright has
chance TO regain his eligibility. He
may attend the Harvard Summer
school, al Squam Lake. n. H., for re-
ouired amount of work, and If he
passes his examinations in September
he will again be able to play. I'm
fortunately, Enwright IL much more
robust as a line breaker than as STU
dent
The nine. ss we'll as the eleven, is
hard hit by the disqualification. Boles
WAS regarded as one Of the best pitch
ING prospecte on the team. II was said
that he va. better than Mahan him
self in the art OF propelling the ball
across the pate in deceptive manner:
Enwright va also baseball player OF
some promise. Gilman, who comes
from Honolulu, was one OF the pest
l;nesmen Harvard has ever had. He is
twentv-three years old, and his is
nounds is pretty we'll distributed over
= frame which is one inch more than
six feet.
Gilman was fast man on the foot
ball field, as we'll as powerful one.
He made the team in 1918, but was not

man. The captaincy is much up IN the

senior gho vas a regular last year, but
he entered college from TUFTS. Al
though he is sophomore, there IL
possibility I al Dick lisrtie may DC

Harte was second choice for captain

Ter. and he was the first Harvard man

line.
He seems to be favord to succeed
Gilman.
Harte has already begun training as
a catcher OF Eddie Mahan's pitchins.
lie was also member OF the varsity
tennis team last fall. -,
The selection of captain rests with
IN. tventy-one men who played in The
Yale game and an carly meeting OF
these players is expected. =.
