This was not denied by the Rhode Island officials and ences of it were given by the [v s ihemselves. Whea the Rhode Island team went to take the field, |several of the plavers had to be in- troduced to each other. Another thing that caused Mana- |ger Howard Timbrell and Coach {Tarry Mangan to enter a formal pro- ltest before the game, was the fact |that the rules governing the Legion league which required that the birth lcertificates of all the players enter- {ed on teams should be produced be- fore, any team would be recognized |as a legitimate team. These were {not at hand and although the Rhods |Island official promised to have [them Dby next Saturday, the size of the players on the team would in- dicate that Rhode Island grows them big for their age. The protest will be acted upon next Saturday before the game. Re- |zlonal Director Roy Rice of Water- bury is aware of the conditions as they now exist and he will insist that the birth certificates be shown [before the game.
