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." CIVIL SERVICE TESTS WILL BE GIVEN SOON BERKELEY.
