Army Denies Offering
Any inducements
To Football Stars

WEST POINT, N. ", Jan. L.
The military academy authori.
ties to-day denied, in an official
statement, published reports that
they had made efforts "to induce
by illegitimate means members of
football teams of other colleges to
desert those teams and to come to
West Point for athletic purposes
Recent articles in the press" the
statement said. "haye contained in
situations that systematic efforts
were being made by the military
authorities to induce by illegitimste
means members Of football teams
Of other colleges to desert those
teams and to come to West Point
for athletic purposes. No attention
would be given such charges had
they not attained q moro or less
authentic character by appearing
under Annapolis headlines.
"A rigid investigation has failed
to reveal the slightest basis for
such reports. Athletic types are
desired for the army, but no un-
sportsmanlike methods have been
used to obtain them. The military
authorities, therefore, wish to
make most sweeping denial of
such allegations.
1T is not tho practice of the
military academy to attempt to
rebut criticism or propaganda
through the columns Of the press.
and 1t does 80 in this unique in
stance not to brand the fraud and
to stop the lie, but for tho sole pur-
pose of reassuring its own followers
scattered throughout the world"
