SINGLE GAME MAY
| COST ATHLETES A
| COLLEGE CAREER

Chicago, Dec. 24-(AP)-Four En-
glewood high school boys, backfield
of their football team, have been bar
red permanently from competition as
amateurs in high school because they
played with a make-shift profession
al team representing Milwaukee
three weeks ago.
AS a further outcome Of the scan
dal the Chicago Cardinals, mem
Der of the National Professional
League. is under official scrutiny, and
amateur athletics all over the coun-
try may be affected.
The annual meeting of the ANA
teur Athletic Federation in New
York will discuss revisions of the
rules governing the amateur status
of boys tagged professional for life
because of single petty violation.
Although the penalty imposed con-
cerned only high school competition,
the boys were fearful it might affect
their chances of making college
teams. The game in which the
youths participated was a frame-up,
Manager O'Brien of the Chicago
Cardinals admitted. His team plan
ned to win from the make-shift Mil
waukee eleven and from Hammond,
Ind, club and by these victories
would have claimed the professional
championship. A subsequent chal-
lenge by the Chicago Bears, with
"Red" Grange. for title game, was
anticipated. The plan was upset
when Hammond defeated the Cardi-
mails.
! Art Folz, Cardinal halfback, said
he induced the boys to play by tell
| ing them it was practice game
| without an admission charge.
"Chuck" Palmer former Northwest
ern University star, coach at Engle-
wood, said he knew of the plan and
advised them not to play. but only
! because they might be hurt
Though O'Brien said. no player on
the team was paid and the boys de-
clared they received money, Z. c.
Delaporte. secretary of the board Of
| control was skeptical.
Two of the boys have finished their
high school athletic careers since
| they graduate In the Spring and the
, other two had one more year.

Charge Amateur
Hockey Players
Under Pro Contract

Boston, Dec. Z4.-(AP)-CharSes
that two players of TIE Eveleth.
Mimi. amateur hockey team have
played one full season and part of
another while under contract to play
with the Boston professional team.
and after receiving $1,000 for signing
their Boston contracts. were made
here tonight by Charles F. Adams.
president of the Boston Professional
Hockey Club.
He further charged that the men
have played under these conditions
for the midwest team with the full
knowledge Of the Eveleth manage
ment and officials of both the Gen.
trail Hockey Association and the
United States amateur Hockey AS
contracts Mr.. Adams said he had in
his possession, are Percival Galbraith
and William Hill.
President Adams said he was
bringing the matter to light in an
effort to make the men fulfil the
terms Of their contracts, which were
secured by Manager Art Ross of Bos-
ton in Eveleth in October, 1924. He
has sent word to William F. Grant.
secretary of the Central Hockey AS
section that he will submit the mat
ter to the Amateur Athletic Union
and the U. s. Amateur Hockey As
ISOLATION, with which the central as
ISOLATION Is affiliated in supervising
mid-western hockey.
President Adams said that CAL
braith was paid $1,000 for signing
his contract and Hill received $500.
that both agreed to play with Bos-
ton during the 1894 season, but
| Jumped" their contracts to remain
with Eveleth. They returned the ad-
vance money, but the Boston club
has. not accepted It. and 1t Is now
held in trust at the Beacon Trust
Company here.
Adams asserted that ne laid the
matter before Roy ID. Schooley, sec
rotary of the u. s. A. H.A.. and
Secretary Grant of the Central
Hockey Association last year. 1t was
decided to let the two men play the
1924 season with Eveleth on condi-
ton that they come to Boston in
|, 1925. Adams said he agreed to these
terms on the plea of Secretary
Schooley that forcing Gaibraith and
Hill to fulfill their Boston contracts
last year would have disrupted the
Eveleth team and hurt the western
amateur league as a whole.
He now declares he has given the
western authorities every ,considera-
ton and that he intends to force a
decision. He says he was willing to
accept two means of settlement:
either that Galbraith come to Bos-
ton and play for the Bruins or that
the Eveleth club buy Galbraith's
contract from him. The matter CEN
tiers on Galhraith rather than Hill.
Adams added. because Galbraith Is
considered the more valuable player.
