If Cupid could be cornered or

on some parties that have to
take romance on the run.

Cupid was trOtting along one

+ Columbia has been playing most
of its games away from home,
having no accommodations of its
own. With the knowledge of the
team captain and manager, John
MacWillie, freshman, played
under the name of of Wahlig, the
regular goal end, and Mackay
Rachow, a Cornell graduate, and
therefore ineligible, also performed.
Tom Howard, the professional
coach, is assumed to have known
of these conditions.
MacWillie starred against Cor
nell and Pennsylvania, though
wearing Wahlig's name. The news
paper reports reached New York,
and Wahlig was a bit embarrassed
when his friends congratulated him
on his fine work at goal for Column
bla.. Discovery quickly followed.
The official statement from the
university committee on athletics
follows:
"a recent investigation into the
hockey situation brought out the
following facts: That in several
games played during the last season
two men were played who, although
regular students in good standing
at the university, were clearly in
eligible to represent Columbia in
intercollegiate competition under
the rules laid down by this COM
mittee.
These facts were known by the
hockey management, but were will
fully withheld in the records given
to the athletic committee and the
newspapers after each game. This
was such distinct breach of
craftsmanship and honorable deal
ing that the committee immediately
dlsDanded the hockey team for the
season, cancelled the remaining
games, erased the records of the
hockey team from our records. de-
clded that no insignia awards
should be given to any member of
the squad this season, that any in
sigma awards previously given the
captain and manager be taken from
them, that the coach's connection
with the university be severed at
once, that the captain and manage,
never again be allowed to represent
Columbia in any athletic event. and
1t Is further recommended to the
deans of the schools in which the
members of the team are regis
tered that drastic scholastic action
be taken"
The truly sad part of this en-
tire mass is that young men old
enough to be in one of our uni
verslties-in one case to have
graduated from one-can dodge
the fundamentals of morality to
this extent.
They cannot plead ignorance,
The whole team, with the man
ager and coach, must have known
that ineligible players were in the
lineup against Cornell and Penn.

in favor of the home team when
ever a basketball game is played.
Naturally such a record of con-
tinuous victories has brought con-
siderable publicity. The age,
! height, weight, etc, of the boys
making up this years team have
been, printed, with the life story
of Coach Blood, etc.
The other day New York
writer, who likes basketball just
about as much as we do, took
occasion to remark under his own
name that at least two New York
high school fives could give Pas
sale all it's wanted in the way of
opposition, could the games be
played on a neutral floor.
Did Coach Blood hasten to &C
cept such a challenge? He did
not. He has said nothing in
large gobs.
A team from Philadelphia, los
ing at Passaic, has sought to get
a return contest. After much
writing back and forth, Coach
Blood has half promised to play
another game, but he has yet to
promise to visit Philadelphia for
the contest. 1t is quite likely that,
if that Philadelphia team wants
another chance, it will have to go
back to Passaic.
Until basketball is standardized,
making it an even thing when
ever two teams face each other,
it will fail to attract the atten-
ton now aroused by such stand
ardized games as baseball and
football.
Meanwhile onward marches the
lads of Passaic. Unless some
thing most direful happens, they
should run up their total Of vic
tories to 500 or 600, or even
more. But, like the cartoon, it
won't mean anything.
