PROBE STARTED CHRISTMAS

ONLY four Of the eighteen athletes
~ declared ineligible at Princeton were
barred from future competition on the
teams for receiving unauthorized fnan-
cial aid.
This develops today from the news
story Of the affair in the Daily Prince
tonian. the ofhcial student paper.
Dean Howard McClenahan declared
''most Of them were declared Ineligible
because Of scholastic failure.5'
The Princeton news story asserts that
the standing Of nine athletes was in
cial assistance Of character to violate
the Yale. Harvard. Princeton agreement
of 1919.
Of these nine athletes four were ex-
onerated and the case Of one was held
ineligible. Due to the ''soft. pedal"
put on the affair by the authorities. the
first impression spread on the campus at
Princeton was that all the eighteen ath-
.etes were barred because Of accepting
unauthorized aid.
Fourth Unknown
OF the four athletes in the latter class
three are Tiger captains-Gilroy, foot
ball: Wilmer. basketball, and Nc.
Namar, baseball. The fourth name has
not yet come to light.
It also develops in the Princetonian
