T~HE University Hatchet, stu

THE University Hatchet, student
publication of George Washing
ton University, in its issue OF
today, announces that Presi-
dent Cloyd Heck Marvin will ad-
dress an assembly of the student
body in the yard tomorrow evening,
at o'clock, to discuss the Tennessee
game situation at the request of Will
liam Helvestine, president of the
student council.
In this issue of the Hatchet also
appears the following article signed by
Ludwig Camanita:
81 am proud of the way our men
played on Saturday in spite of the
break against them and, because of
the spirit they put into the game,
George Washington faces forward with
confidence and it will build in the fu-
ture as it has tried to build in the past
on the basis of good sportsmanship, %
said President Marvin last night when
questioned upon the Tennessee-G George
Washington foot ball situation.
President Marvin refused to say any
thing further other than that 1T was
unfortunate that Tennessee had not
made its protest earlier"
The question that has been raging
back and forth in local papers has been
whether or not Tennessee lodged a pro-
test in the first place. Authoritative
information received yesterday clears
the entire picture.
Protest in Effect.
1t is known that a protest was made
and took place indirectly a few hours
before the game. The administration
was informed that mig" McCarver,
Johnny Baker and Hardy Pierce had
played four years prior to their en-
trance at George Washington. In ef-
feet Tennessee said: What are you
going to do about it?" All in effect.
The administration at once checked
upon the records of the three men in
question. Investigation into Tennes-
sees accusations proved the latter to be
true. The Eligibility Committee had to
withdraw the men from the game.
Though the protest was not for
NAL one, it was surely an effective
one" said one authority.
According to a reliable source, moth
ing was said by Tennessee until last
wednesday, when a Tennessee faculty
representative approached DR.. Marvin
and asked that all transfer players be
banned from Saturdays game. This,
despite the fact that our regulations
permit the use of transfer men In all
activities, foot ball included, and de-
spite the fact that the contract was
signed on the basis of respective instl-
tutional rules.
Had Tennessee adhered to the spirit
Evening star., 1933-11-07
Marvin to Address Colonials
On Tennessee Game Situation;
Student Paper Discusses Row

of the contract, the entire team would
have entered the grid battle Saturday.
However, the administration feels that
in a sense Tennessee was justified in
complaining against the mistake, but
1t still remains that it was unfortunate
that this error was not called to atten-
ton until the last few hours preceding
game time.
Passing the Buck.
The original check on these men, as
is made in the case of all players, was
satisfactory. Just where the error oc-
CURED, the authorities do not know.
At any rate, so far as the institution
was concerned, to the best of its knowl-
edge the men were entered correctly at
the time
Rather than disappoint Washington
fans, who expected a full strength team
to appear upon the field, DR.. Marvin,
when informed of the Tennessee ''infor-
NAL protest" offered to pay Tennessee
the $4,000 guarantee and "call it
quits" Our informant tells us that DR..
Marvin preferred to call the game off
and lose the guarantee money rather
than disappoint the hometown folk.
The Tennessee coaches, however, refused
to accept Marvin's offer, claiming they
had no responsibility in the matter and
referring him to the Tennessee Athletic
Committee.
The latter could not be reached at
such late hour.
Thus, with "the passing of the buck, -
so to speak, from one to another, DR..
Marvin could not call the game off.
The result was that
Tennessee lodged no formal protest,
but in effect it did.
No one would assume Tennessee re-
sponSibility for accepting Marvin's
$4,000 offer and call the game off.
Dr. Marvin was compelled to enter
the game minus his players for the sake
of good craftsmanship.
And that is what I call good coup
d'etat-on the part of Tennessee.

Mr.. Rover objected to the re-
ference to Mrs. McLean's condi-

and said:
I didn't mean anything
derogatory about Mrs. Mclean,
but she had been very nervous.
The Judge ordered that part of
the testimony stricken from the
record and Means continued:
met Henderson in Ell PaSo and
he said the baby was in Juarez
and would be delivered when the
money was collected from other
sources. After sending a telegram
to Mrs. Mclean, Miss Nelson and
I went over to Juarez and met
Henderson in the Mint restaurant.
Henderson said we could expect
the baby to be delivered at any
tine and asked if I was in a po-
Sition to pay over the money. I
said yes as soon as the identity
of the child was proved.
Denied Visit To Child
told Miss Nelson the baby was
there and that night telephoned
Mrs. Mclean, she said she would
start but first had to stop in At
lanta to buy some clothes.
I insisted on seeing the baby in
Juarez, but Henderson said it
would be very difficult for me to
get through to the place it was
held. Later he told me the baby
was sick. Then he said it was
worse. Then he told me they had
a doctor and the child was better.
Mrs. Mclean arrived on April z,
Thursday. 1 told her the child
had been i'll, and she asked if
they had doctor. I said yes and
gave her the doctors card. She
wanted Miss Nelson to go there
and nurse the baby. She asked
what the trouble was and I told
her it was form of colitis caused
by the change in water and milk.
The next day Mrs. Mclean
asked to see No. 19 (the kidnaper)
and I arranged a meeting for that
night.
When I learned the baby was
across the border I got in touch
with detective sergeant Billy
Smith, of the Ell PaSo police
force and told him I might need
his assistance on a very import
ant case. I also asked him to
introduce me to the mayor, Mr..
Sherman, and he did.
That night I met an Associated
Press man in the hotel. No. 19
came in to see Mrs. Mclean, but

in Mexico.
