YALE BALL STAR
AVOIDS TAP DAY
Pumpelly Delays Bones
Balloting, Then Passed By
Editor Not Picked.

New Haven, Conn, May 1S.-Two
campus sensations were sprung at the
Yale senior class elections to-day
when Spencer Armstrong Pumpelly,
varsity baseball star, failed to turn
up for the balloting, and when George
Murray, of Plainfeld, n. j., turned
down election to Bones for the VOLTS
Head honor.
Pumpelly was considered a sure
election to Bones, although he was
disqualified by the faculty last fall for
summer baseball playing. His brother,
Harold Pumpelly, was one of the most
prominent among Yale's recent few
football stars. His failure to appear
for the election delayed the Bones tap
ping, which finally went on without
him.
Murray's action in turning down
Bones was considered due to the belief
that he had been already pledged for
VOLTS Head
RECORD EOltOT ONcflOOheu.
The failure of Holcomb York, editor
Of The Record" to get a single cleo
tion was one of the other surprises Of
the afternoon. Albert W. Olson, Of
Glenbrook, Conn, manager of the foot
ball team and a member of the base
ball team, refused an election for Keys.
Later he was tapped for Bones.
Morris Hadley, son Of "PreXy," gave
the first Bones election TO Prescott
Sheldon Bush, of Columbus, Ohio. Ed
ward Hartman and Samuel Sloan
Duryee, of New York, were also elected
TO this historic Yale society.
The elections are:
Skull and Bones-Prescott Sheldon Bush.
