Cheaters

Dishonest practices used to be common enough in college athletics. Hired townies buttressed baseball teams, rowdy-dows won football contests for $5 per. All-around athletes who could hardly read a newspaper were put through college at the expense of the Alumni Association and given high grades in English and Sacred Studies. When the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association was formed, such chicanery was already fast vanishing. Last week, with the deepest humiliation, Yale University notified Harvard that there could be no freshman crew race this year. Six members of the Yale freshman eight had cheated in examinations at their training quarters at Gales Ferry, Conn./- They had taken no precautions, their papers were all alike, and the Student Council inflicted the usual penalty of suspension. Then the race was declared "on" once more. College had broken up, but nine freshman substitutes responded quickly to telegrams, rushed to Gales Ferry rejoicing over their personal good luck.

/-Three freshman oarsmen of Yale '22 were found guilty of the same offense and at once ousted.
