Tication of Five Stars New Haven, Oct. 27.—In reply to he ;criticism levelled at the . Yale pily News for refusing to print com- unications from the undergraduates the eligibility matter, the News nnounced yesterday that they now ere provided with shotguns and ady to defend themselves. There- pon they pointed out that the in- ding army, composed of those ed with disregarded communica- ons, consisted up to this morning f just two men, so that they . felt pirly; optimistic as to the outcome. After quoting the open letter that as posted on the Yale ‘campus on junday and.then torn down, in which the News was taken to task for its failure to print communications on the eligibility matter from the under- graduates and calling on the under- graduates to witness that in this way the paper was violating a Yale un- written law, the News replied: “To the section of the student body who have thus warned us, many thanks. Ye Eds are now provided with shotguns, and, though we still need a, little practice in_trench war- fare, we feel on the whole fairly op- timistic, so optimistic in fact, that we notice with regret that the ‘Open Let- er’ is unsigned. Since our hands are thus tied, we are going to take the privilege of addressing these unknown gentlemen in this column. “In the first place, we have re- ceived just four communications to date ‘relating to the eligibility epi- sode.’ One of these appears this morning, and a second was suppressed at the written request of the original writer. We have denied, therefore, ‘means of expression’ to just two men. As to our having ‘violated a Yale un- written law.’ we have acted on the contrary in acocrdance with a written law, a law which we took pains to N MOHAWK UALITY” WEPEENE - 0ZPEX “=TDa0 TIRES <OUoZe =O 020 2P =02 Will Keep You Going--- -6, 000 Miles Repairs Free .

We quote be- low the editorial in which we explain- ed our attitude in regard to communi- cations: “ ‘We invite communiactions and naturally we do not assume respon- sibility for the sentiments which they express, but we also reserve the right of censorship. This we believe neces- sary for two reasons. The News is a public’' newspaper, its circulation is not limited to members of the univer- sity, and accordingly these problems and affairs which concern Yale only and which are subject to pretation and misunderstandings on the part of individuals and newspa- pers who know nothing about them are better left out of our columns. Then there is another type of letter, usually written thoughtlessly and re- gretted later, which merely stirs the college up and does more harm than good. With these two exceptions we will gladly print the communications which are sent in.” The communication which appears this morning in the News and is signed by three alumni calls for the exercise .of some common sense in this eligibility matter and asks that if, as the official statement of the matter, by the Yale Athletic Associa- tion states, the’ violation of rules was due to ‘“‘the carelessness of its offi- cers and committees’ cers and committees confessedly guilty should have been sacrificed and not the players; that it was up to them to withdraw and let the players re- main. follows: | “Five able Yale athetes of other- wise unblemished reputation have been led to' withdraw from competi- tion in intercollegiate athletics on account of brief and inadvertent vio- lation of a rule of doubtful value, This violation was due, according to the chairman and treasurer of the Yale University Athletic Association, to the ‘carelessness of its officers and com- mittees.” “It seems to us that this punish- ment, while it may fit the crime, has missed the criminal. The action taken suggests an almost hysterical and perhaps even vainglorious mar- tyrdom, with mischoice of martyrs. The officers and committees confess- edly guilty should have ‘withdrawn’ | if any one had to be sacrificed and | not the athletes unless, after full con- fession of the morally guiltless breach of rule, very improbable. “The maintenance of high standards of amateur athletics does not neces- sarily require the abandonment of common sense. THREE ALUMNI. “Farmington, Conn., Oct. 23, 1915.” The Princeton undergraduates daily newspaper has published an editorial disclaiming all responsibility on the part of Princeton or Princeton men for the upheaval at Yale. The edi- torial says: “ABSOLUTELY UNFOUNDED.” Princeton will be gratified at the stand taken by the Yale News in their editorial of Wednesday morning, which we print below. Here is the categorical editorial from the Yale News, entitled “Abso- lutely Unfounded”: “In the gossip of the campus, in the press of yesterday, it was ru- mored that Princeton was responsible for the investigation of the eligibil- ity of Milburn, Easton, LeGore, Pum- pelly and Rhett; that Princeton brought the facts to the attention of the ' Yale University Athletic Associa- tion, and even that the action of these misinter- | that the offi- | The communication was as | some contestant having a | right to object (if there are any such) | had objected—something which seems | five men in withdrawing from the university teams vas due to pressurc brought to bear by Princeton. That rumor 1is absolutely unfounded. We speak, with authority for Yale. Ana we are glad to be able to print this morning the official statement from Princeton made by Dean McClenahan that ‘Yale took action on herown in- itiative and without any suggestion from us. * * * Princeton has made no protest of any sort. “The discovery that the men had broken the eligibility rule was made by a Yale man. The facts of the case—which were given out yesterday —were brought before the Yale au- thorities by the men der no pressure from Princeton any one else. To credit this rumor is to deny the facts. It is, more. over, unjust to Princeton and to Yale and, most important of all, it rol the five men concerned of the credit they deserve for the splendid way they ! have acted throughout.” RITCHIE GETS A DRAW WITH SCOTCH WOP Champion Beaten in Early Part of Fight Comes Back—Dundee ‘Wouldn't Shake Hands, New York, Oct. 27.—Willie Ritchie, the American lightweight champion, | limit | to get a draw in a speedy slashing ten ' had to extend himself to the rcund bout with Johnny Dundee at Madison Square Garden last night. The bounding Italian’s fast work ear- 1v in the bout puzzled the champion, and he missed repeatedly. It wasn't until the last few rounds that Ritchie got Dundee's measure, and then he gave him a severe lacing. The eighth round was a whirlwind and while Dundee was dancing rapid- ly around his opponent Ritchie clip- ped him with a right on the jaw, which took the little Italian off nis feet and shot him against the ropes. Ritchie drove Dundee around the ring under his fierce attack, and when on the other side of the ring he again hit him on the jaw and partially knocked him off his feet. Both boxers had a big following present and as the crowd filed out of the Garden there was such a variety of opinions about the bout that the arguments were flying thick and fast. Although Ritchie was decidedly more like the champion boxer that he is in the last three rounds, he was plainly bewildered by Dundee’s freakish box- ing early in the bout. Johnny jabbed him repeatedly on the face and got away and hammered his body in the clinches for the first five rounds. Ritchie easily boxed Dundee’s ad- vantage away in the last few rounds and left the honors about even. The main bout was delayed nearly half an hour by a wrangle about the | $3,500 guarantee offered to Ritchic The crowd was small. It was stated that the gate money amounted to less than $7,000. After the 7 1-2 per cent. state tax had been deducted and $3,500 of the 60 per cent. was set side for the champion, there was less than $200 left for Dundee’s share. Dundee’s manager wanted Ritchie to take $3,000 as his share, but Ritchie refused, and was about to leave the Garden when the full amount was offered him.

Dundee began to jab Ritchie at once; and champion was unable to stave off Italian’s aggressive attack. Dundee ducked and feinted, while Ritchie’s only means of land- ing seemed to be a straight left jab. For the first five rounds Ritchie was unable to land his right on the Ital- ian, Ritchie got warmed up in the sec- ond round and his defense was much improved, Dundee, however, landed more frequently. Ritchie did not wake up until the fifth round and then the boxers be- gan to slug each other merrily, Both sliped and fell to the ropes, but no damage was done.
