HARNER GETS v. M. |.
CUP AS SPORT STAR

LEXINGTON, Va, June 13.-Frank
Arthur Harner of Richmond, Va, was
the recipient of the Porter Cup, award
ed each year to the best all-around var
stty athlete at Virginia Military 1nsti-
tute. The trophy is presented by Henry
]. Porter of Birmingham, a winner of
the Williamson Graham Cup. formerly
awarded to the champion cadet athlete.
The v. M l. Athletic Association
medal, another annual award, was won
by Duane Davenport Wright of Prince
ton, W. Va. Wright won his numerals
in four sports, playing fullback on the
freshman foot ball team, wrestling in
the 165-pound class, playing In the out
field on the nine and competing in the
three weight events on the track team.
Harner was a star running mate at
halfback to Capt. Alb Barnes on the
Flying Squadron, was captain and for
ward on the basket ball team and played
center field on the ball team.
NThree other three-letter men will be
lost to the Cadets in June. Alb Barnes,
triple threat halfback and star in baS-
ket ball and base ball, has competed for
", M. I. for the last time though he will
return next fall as freshman coach. He
was the Porter Cup winner in 1927.
Luke Hewlett. winner of the Porter
Cup In 1928, was mainStay in foot
ball, basket ball and base ball. Gordon
Walker won his third track letter this
Spring and received foot ball and basket
bali monograns for the first time this
season.

II not, he has the power to resolve
the situation forthwith. He could simply
direct the Secretaries of the War and
Navy to arrange at once plan which
would bring about the prompt restora-
ton of athletics. And they would have
to do It. It would be mandatory.
It may be hoped that the President
will withhold official action if only be-
cause both academies are bound by Sc
much Government red tape that it does
seem as though they should be per-
mitted to play each other or not as they
see fit.
At West Point, among both officers
and cadets, one finds indifference so far
as relationship with the Navy Is con-
cerned. Or, if this be too strong, let 1t
be said they are sufficiently Indifferent
to be unwilling to alter conditions
under which cadets may be eligible for
the foot ball eleven and teams in other
sports.
The Navy, quite the contrary, has
missed the service contest most grieV-
ously. Midshipmen see no point to a
foot ball season without q climatic
game against their natural rivals and
they would grant any concession what
ever in the interest Of restoration OF
athletic relationship. But the authorities
at Annapolis and Naval officers gen.
orally, while anxious for this, would
demand at least some eligibility restrtc-
ton.
In behalf of West Point it is asserted
that civilian institutions are willing TO
meet Army elevens under conditions OF
eligibility that obtain at the Military
Academy. This is perfectly true. And
anything In the way of revised eligibility
standards which the Navy might adopt
would be received with equal COM
placence by civilian rivals who recognize
that the reasons which hold them to
certain rigid stipulations concerning
conditions under which students may
participate in intercollegiate sport DO
not apply to the service institutions.
So no one would object were the Navy
to revise her standards as to place her
on an even footing with the Army. But
the matter of pride enters. The Navy
has taken the stand and feels it would
be unbecoming to retreat from 1t, at
least to the extent of seeing eye TO eye
with the Army on eligibility require
ments. And, of course, the Army has
her pride, too let alone other more
tangible considerations.
1t would be a splendid thing for sport
II some adjustment as between the two
academies could be effected. But 1t
is done, 1t should be done by the au-
thortties at Annapolis and West Point.
Anything that the Government might
do to force them together would be AL
together too high handed to meet with
any fair-minded persons approval. And
aside from the natural repugnance 70
xwfkaf
would feel, it would occur that no pos
sible good could come out of relation
shin effected by official dureSs.
If the two service institutions cannot
themselves arrange to play ball together
let them stay apart.

BROWN GRID CAPTAINCY
TAKEN FROM EDWARDS

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June 13 H).-
Charles Bud" Edwards Of Chicago,
captain-elect of the 1929 Brown Uni
versity foot ball team. has been removed
from Office.
Dean Otis E Randall said Edwards
was placed on the severest sort of COL
lege discipline because of a serious frac-
ture of college regulations this semes-
ter"
It is understood that the captain
elect ignored an order to pay his tuition
for the second semester before a certain
date. Once on college discipline, Ed
wards automatically had to give up the
foot ball captaincy and forego all extra
curriculum activities.
