Show A..C. TEAMS UNDER FIRE Ridiculous Attempt Made to Prove , Ineligibility of Star Performen. The athletic outlook at tho agricultural agricul-tural College Is especially bright this year. The baseball team seems to bo in. magnificent shnpo after Its victory over the Provo team and tho track teuni, while at this time a llttlo un-dertrulned, un-dertrulned, due to the backwardness of tho season, will undoubtedly bo a Btroug contender for tho championship this year. A feature of the woik or the uthletlc department of the Agricultural Agri-cultural College Is Its cleanness. Not only does tho administration not on-courage on-courage u student who comes to th College mainly for athletics but It discourages dis-courages this typo of student. Considerable agitation hns been created In tho Salt Lake papers, mulii-ly mulii-ly through special reporters for these dcimfTtneuts and not through tho ro-gulur ro-gulur sporting editors of tho Herald-Republican, Herald-Republican, Tribune nnd tho Tele gram, who know the situation as It Is. These articles uilso tho question of tho eligibility of especially Schweitzer, Schweit-zer, tho Btar pitcher ot the Aggies and Emerson, tho star hurdler on the track team. The contention, by the Salt Lnko club ropoiteis, Is that these men me ineligible, whllo as a matter of fact Schweitzer has completed ono full years work at the Agricultural Collego and Emerson has been In at tendance over since Inst June, having hav-ing finished the complete summer sua son nnd practically tho cntlro yenr here. Of course tho obvious Intention of (he nttnek by theso Irresponsible writers is to cripple the teams of tho College, which aro Just now high contenders for State honors. Tho College Is probably freer from the taint of professionalism than any Stnto school. Tho nthlotes ot tho big school on tho hill, must first of ,li be students and every professor bops to It that this Is the caso. |
