Yale's protest against Evins on the grounds of professionalism is practically nullified. Before the track athletic games last Friday, Mr. Wade of the Yale A. A. protested Evins for professionalism. After the games, Mr. Wade asked Captain Cook to sign an affidavit stating that Evins is a bona fide amateur and that he has the regular number of hours in the Law School. Captain Cook said he would do this as soon as he arrived in Cambridge, but, pending the receipt of such an affidavit the two medals which Evins had won in the shot-putting and hammer-throwing contests were withheld from him.
Yesterday afternoon, Professor Ames was making out an affidavit attesting Evin's regularity of attendance at the Law School. Captain Cook and J. H. Hunt also made ont an affidavit stating that to the best of their knowledge Evins was an amateur, and Evins himself has drawn up a statement that he is an amateur. These several affidavits will be forwarded to Yale today.
