FACULTY SCORES
FOOTBALL SQUAD
Students Affairs Committee 0b»
tains Evidence of Over
indulgence by Athletes
College Rules Violated at Reno
and Santa Clara, Accord*
ing to Accusers
[Special Dispatch' to The Call]
STANFORD. UNIVERSITY. Nov.^l.—
Serious trouble has broken out be
tween the .faculty and the football
squad. The campus has been thrown
into a whirl of excitement over re
ports of- a widespread investigation
into the charge that the men on the
team ,have been allowed an over indul
gence in beer. Coming at this date. 10
days before the big game, the news
has spread consternation a.mo'feg the
enthusiastic collegians.
A hurried meeting of the students'
affairs committee has been called for
tomorrow night. Professor A., D. Clark,
chairman of the committee, has sent
out notices and impressed upon : his
colleagues on the board the importance
of the occasion.
INQUIRY TO BE HELD
The inquiry, it is stated, has been
prompted by' evidence gathered by
Clark through a number of his special
agents among the student body. The
accusations have been resented by the
varsity athletes, who state that they
are without foundation. The charges
have been summarized by the students'
affairs committee under two heads:
1. That the members of the varsity
team imbibed too liberally of^beer at
the game in Reno, New, thre weeks
ago. • . _
2. That the members of the second
squad violated the college rules in the
same manner after the game at Santa
Clara, two weeks ago.
The first offense is said by the faculty
men to -have been- committed in Reno
after . the game there. The second
offense, according to the authorities,
took place in San Jose after the Santa
Clara game.
SICKNESS CAUSES TROUBLE
The attention of Professor Clark and
his committee was first called to the
matter through representatives who are
specially delegated to watch over the
students. The matter was under con
sideration when Lyman King, a mem
ber of the second team,. was taken 111.
Professor Clark connected the boy's
sickness with the reports that had been
brought to him, and thereupon sum
moned hJ^committee for official action.
It was charged against the second
team, to which King belongs, that after
the game at Santa Clara the entire
squad repaired to San Jose and there
proceed to celebrate gorgeously.
PLAYERS ARE INDIGNANT
Throughout the team there is general
indignation at the charges.. It is stated
that they are based upon false reports
and will be proved untrue. George
Presley, the graduate coach; speaking
for the players today, said that a great
mistake had been made.
"There is no truth." said Presley, "in
the reports that the boys indulged too
freely and went on a. drunk after the
game. It is the custom after each
game to give- the players one half a
pint of beer each. That is part of our
training system. After the ga.me at
Reno, and again after the game at
Santa Clara, the boys were given the
regular allowance. That was all the
drinking there was. There was .no
overindulgence and there was no bois
terousness. ,1 am at a loss to know
how such reports could go out."
Professor Clark declined to discuss
the mater tonight..-.
"I must wait until after the inves
tigation." said he, "before I can give
out any statement."
