Secret Marriage Annulled, Gopher
Retains Grid Standing.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, November CP).-
Ken Meenan, star Northwestern half
back, may be expected to play his best
foot ball against Minnesota Saturday,
for his worries over a secret marriage
are over.
Meenan married Helen Major, daugh-
ter Of the representative of an Eastern
WOODEN concern, last August. Yester-
day she appeared in Superior Court
asking annuument of the marriage on
the grounds that she was not of age
when the rapid-fire nuptials were cele-
brated.
Her plea was granted, but Meenan's
worries were not over until he learned
that he had not violated university rule,
the penalty for which is expulsion. !
There is rule at Northwestern
against student marriages, but it does
not apply if the marriages are con-
tracted during the Summer vacation.
Miss Major and Meenan were wed in
August, and the fact that she was not a
student worked in his favor.
He is from Oak Park, ILL.,, but lives
at the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity
house, on the Northwestern campus.
