COMMTIEfEPORTS ON tATHLETIC STATUS (Cont1iW4fPom front page.) University. Mr. Porter is - from Pickens, has been a studehtt -the iUni vensiti since 1910, and is now su,he degree of'LL. B. De iring some form- of work to en bl, -im, tto eomplete his edu catlon, he. *pplied to. the plesi dent of the University early in 1915 for position as night watch man which position has been es tablished for some time and is fori.the. protection of life, prop erty,. and to atain the best in surance rate V A vacancy ex isted, and upon recommendation by 'various1 ihein' 1ers of the fac ulty, the president of the Uni versity made the appointment. There was absolutely no connec tion between, this appointment and Mr..i:Aorter'sathletic ability. The 'gfirn yh9yi existed for a number of years, and is one which requires services perform e: not only during the scholastic year, but during vacation periods as well, has always paid the sum of $50 per month, involves duties exacting in their nature, and re quirM," 'tiu1ldifi'g of a time c:ock every half 'hour during the cou oT thenigitwhich clock ,s r ad every morning in order to show whether the services have actually been .performed. It is unquestionable that this ap pointment was made solely on acco nt of Mr. Porter's standing as student, and as a man of triec' worth, who had impressed upor his preceptors his worthi ness to receiv&/whatever benefit might accrue from the position in enabling him to pursue his studies. This illustration is used for the! purppse of showing the injustice of b *inging into question thoset against whom .no. charges could be sitd-,hm, with those whomrit-is 'Wa'tnkly admitted in the light of the facts developed by the investigation were prop erly chargeable with misconduct Another case which illustrates this same principle is the case of Mr. Laurer, who entered thru the influence of Assistant Coach Legg whoshad been his precep tor a StuntorvfMilitary Acade my f1- thelit t4wa-'t three years and 4'hose eligibility is fully es tablis~ ed. Still another instance is that of Mr. Sqiuier, who is rrentioned as receiving $20 a month as agent for a local laundry. Careful in vesti ~ati}n shows that he secured this iositio~ri-6S~iist him in ob taininr aWYdd cfon, that he! perfo4ms the serfi%s of his em ploy nient working on a commis sion that sometimes may ainount to more and sometimhes to less than $20 per month. ~He has* never .previously played interco' legiate football, but enters the A University from Allentown pre paratory school; Pa., at which - place he first learned of. the Uni versity of South Carolina from a Columbian -who was an instruct or there. Mr. Squier is entitled to play in any game under any rules. In regard to the cases of Mr. Laudenlager and Mr. Detling from Muhlenberg College, nei ther of these men has played in contests where eligibility rules prevailed or were considered. It is true that they both filled out - Southern Intercollegiate Athletic ! Association eligibility blanks ear ly in the season stating that nei- C ther had theretofore played in-. tercollegiate football. Their rep resentations were made under - a misapprehension as to the num- , ber of units to which Muhlenberg was entitled in its collegiate ra ting. Their frank and manly statement.was accepted by the dean of the University, and as soon as the error was discovered - their eligibility blanks were with drawn, and they did not play in any S. I. A. A. game. The remaihing matter, namely, R the question of Mr. Detling's I residence, does not pertain to - his eligibility as an athlete andI will be handled through another channel, such disposition being:. a matter of internal administra- ( tior, and will be prgperly dealt with in the light of all attendant - circumstances. Messrs. Morrison, Surran and t Newton are eligible under Sou thern Intercollegiate Athletic Association and conference rules. Mr. Morrison had played scrub - football at Davidson in. 1913. ( Mr. Surran played at Jefferson t School, Charlottesville, Va., and Mr Newton came from Cluster Springs Academy. The last t named is not a member of the t varsity squad. With reference now to the r cases of Messrs. Copley, "McClo- o rey," Riha, MacDonald, the stu j a dent body of the University has|i no hesitation in stating that the. a charges of ineligibility madeiv against these men has been sus- 0 tained. t Of these four men, Copley played in the game against New- r berry College and the Presbyte rian College of South Carolina.:, McClorey played in the gamec against Clemson. Riha played; in the Presbyterian College and Clemson games. Ma2Donald' t has taken .part in but one game; t this year and that was the Cum berland game. The first named: was dismissed by the president of this institttion as soon as cer tain facts in the case became known (prior to the Clemson game). - McClorey, 'whose real name seems -to be Teney and who formerly played at North Carolina A. and M. and Brown.j U:iiversitv. was put into .t le LLWAYS SAY: "LET'S GO PASTIMING" SAFETY FIRST!
