[It is hardly necessary to say that the article is false. The facts in the case are these. The player in question came to Harvard from Brown in the fall of '95. He was in college for a year but did not pass his examinations or obtain recognized standing. This fall he did not return to college, but entered the Bussey Institute too late to have his name entered in the Catalogue, which was published in December.

The rule which renders him ineligible is as follows:

"RULE 3. No one who is not a regular student in the College or Scientific School, and no regular student in either of these departments who has ever played in any intercollegiate contest upon a class or University team of any other college, shall play upon a Harvard team until he has resided one academic year at the University and passed the annual examinations upon a full year's work."]-ED.
