For that reason there can be no taint on any | f; of Yale's victories this year. Yale athletic authorities who were prompt to v and act upon the [ information ~ concerning Caldwell first published in the Providence R. I.

Leaving the prac- tice field wh the news of the Yale athletic officia action reached him he sought =olace in solitude, “He's ri rved anyway,” said his roommate: David Brown and Owen 1. who are non-athletes but cd of the hero-worshipping inct. “He won't he in until late | and he won't want to talk.” He wasn't and he didn’t. It was near midnight when Caldwell reach- ed his room in the famous Harkness | Memorial Quadrangle “Training hours are off for me,” he shrugged and went to bed, full of woo to say more. Coaches Groom Subs Three men today twere being groomed by Coach "Tad” Jones to carry the burden of the loss of | Caldwell’s “quintuple threat” abili- | tics. Garvey or Hammersley, who prob- ably will share the left half-back assignment in his place, must take over the hulk of the ball-carrying and puntinz. Duncan Cox, back- field regular, is to hoot fleld goals| and points after touchdown from | placement in the stead of Caldwell's Johnny Hoben, | aquarterback, will take over the for- ward passing with Decker working on the receiving end with the wing- | men in Hoben's place. Team Is Determined “This isn't a one man team,” Captain Bill Webster told his mates as the undergraduates, stung by the loss of Caldwell, howled deflance at Princeton just outside the “Y club | walls. “We're going to wade in| there fighting harder because old | Bruce is on the bench.

From both -institutions made clear that neither Princeton nor Harvard had anything to do with the exposure of Caldwell's play- ing for Brown. | Back in Caldwell’'s homa town of | ¢ Ashton, R. I, residents were stunned by the misfortune of their idol. His | father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Ro- || bert ldwell, who are working in a textile mill to send Bruce through college were visibly shaken, but con- soled themseves with the statement that their boy would finish his col- lege course. “I'm sorr It's too bad,” was all that Mrs. Caldwell could say. And the father repeated: “I'm sorry for | but he will have to thrash | the matter out for himself. If he las been playing contrary to the rules, it is too bad, and he will have to fight it out but I have nothing to say. perfect 1t was|, 4 o] of The Big Three Rule The rule, reading as follows, was | the Big Three in 1923, with the Harvard-Princeton | break was incorporated by Yale in 1 ngreements with Harvard and wceton: student who transfers to d, Yale or Princeton from an- | other college or university after this wgreement goes into effect shall be Jle to represent Harvard, Yale or Princeton in any sport in which he represented his former college or university or freshman team while play ainst opponents not members of that institution.” h h e ol Born In Mill Town Ashton, R.
