Boston, NOV. 24.-LOca1 IOOIDalI followers are wondering if some of those connected with football at Yale are bent on eliminating the Bulldog as a symbol of Yale spirit. Some rumors that have reached here said to have emanated in New Haven have aroused more unfavorable comment than any other incident of the foot ball season. The report being circu- lated is that some Yale graduates are putting forth as an alibi for Yale's defeats by Princeton and Harvard this year the intimation that some of the Blue stars were so roughly hand- led in the Boston College encounter that the Yale team was unable to do itself justice in the later games
 In some quarters the more specific charge is made that four .,. Yahe lie, stars Ra ton College in this years game ana that this was a repetition Of what happened when the two teams met the year before: The = erltlelSmns Ga1nase hede edz herents, and those who object to the circulation of the insinuations do not question that Yale has right to pick her own opponents. ,yo-,-
 Critics of the stand taken at NeW Haven feel that if Yale decides to supplant Boston College by a weaker opponent and gives out as the reason riors are too powerful early-season opponents for the Blue, the New Hay en Institution is perfectly within It's rights. What arouses resentment IS the charge surreptitiously made and unsupported by specific instances that unfair tactics resulting in the dlsab- ling of Yale stars was responsible for Ya1e's defeat at the hands of liar yard and Princeton
 Boston College men are indignant at the aspersion cast on the E. c. squad. They assert that the Cavan- augh machine played as hard and oar O a inst Vale fhGV were capable of, and that they play ed just the same sort of game Tn every contest in which they have hg- ured What has impressed the fol- lowers of the Boston College team most this year has been that 1t was a we11-oi1ed machine, containing some brilliant stars, but always work1ng as if following the instructions a good coach with team play and good in terference always provided.
 This is the kind of team Cavanaugh has always developed at Dartmouth, at Holy Cross and at Boston College, and never before has a Cavanaugh team been accused of unfair tactics. Cavanaugh teams always play a nara game, and they never sdueal when beaten. This has been the reputa- ton of the Bulldog, and admirers of Old Eli are saddened that a. different spirit seems to be developing at New Haven.
 The situation has been receiving at tention from all the local sports writ CTS One of them has gone very much into detail in combating the New Haven contention from the standpoint of neutral observer. This writer who covered all the games this year in which Harvard, Yale and Princeton figured against one or the other, asserts that none of these games were less rough than the Bos- ton-Yale contest, and supports his ar gument with a, wealth of circumstan- tiaI detail. This writer disclaims any intention of chasing the B. C.-Yale encounter as a ping-pong game, but declares that if any attempt was made to intentionally disable an opponent is was not visible to the expert foot ball men who covered the game.
 Another writer asserts that Captain him that his injury was due to catch ing a B c. runner high, and that Ald- rich. of Yale, was rendered hors de combat because he was out of posi- ton and thus unable to protect him. self against a legitimate charge.
