ously Crippled by Expelling of
Gilmore, Boles, Enwright.
YALE GETS LEE GORE BACK

BOSTON, March ls-Captain Joseph A.
Gilman of the Harvard 1916 foot ball team
and William ]. Boles and Thomas II.
Enwright. backfield players. have severed
their connection with Harvard university
on account of academic deficiencies. The
three foot ball men were fired from
college following the action OF the ad-
ministrative board.
Harvard foot ball sustained the most
severe blow Of it's history with the re-
moval of the three players. The dismis-
sal OF foot ball captain Is without par
allel and it was said that this sudden
blow is only beginning Of the house
cleaning program of the faculty.
Gilman and Boles cannot return to Har-
ward. Both had suffered previous dismiss
sails. and the Harvard regulation states
that q man who is dismissed from the
university for q second time on account
of unsatisfactory study marks cannot re-
turn. Enwright win have an opportunity
to re-enter Harvard in the fall after he
has taken a course at the Harvard sum-
mer camp at Squash Lake, N. H. With
satisfactory marks at the engineering
camp he will be eligible to play foot ball

gime at Cambridge. He was virtually

critics for the All-American team last
fall. and his sensational work was re-
sponsible for his election to the captaincy
in the face of opposition. with Gilman

be weakened perceptibly.
