Princeton Protests.

The Princeton football management has made a statement regarding the Princeton eleven. It contains a certificate of the faculty that every member of the eleven is an undergraduate pursuing a regular course of study in the college. The full text of the statement is as follows: The Princeton university foot ball management desires to make public the following official statement in regard to the members of the eleven which played Harvard upon November 16 and will meet Yale on November 28, first, as to their college standing; second, as to their receiving pecuniary compensation.

(1). Below is the faculty certificate, which we procured before the Harvard game, according to rules. It is signed by the dean, the register of the college, and the secretary of the committee on out door sports:

"The following gentlemen are bona fide undergraduate students of Princeton college on the rolls for the present college year, pursuing courses which require attendance upon fourteen or fifteen lectures or recitations a week in the following manner: For the B. A. degree-K. L. Ames, '90, H. H. Janeway, '90, J. S. Black, '91, P. C. Jones, '91, E. A. Poe, '91, J. S. Riggs, '92; for the B. S. degree-R. Furness, '91; for C. E. degree-R. H. Warren, '93; special students-R. H. Channing, W. S. Cash, B. S. Donnelly.

"The following are bona fide university or graduate students in the college or seminary: W. J. George, '89, regularly entered in a post graduate course with the intention of a three years' course for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; Hector Cowan, '88, pursuing a graduate course in Princeton college and a full course in Princeton Theological seminary.

(2). Professor Sloane, of the committee on out door sports, desires to state that after extensive inquiry and the exercise of due diligence he endorses as true to the best of his knowledge and belief the following statement, which we herewith make in regard to pecuniary or academic compensation.

Not a single member of the Princeton eleven "is in anyway a beneficiary of the college or on the free tuition list, or has received either from us or outside parties to our knowledge, directly or indirectly, any pecuniary compensation either as an inducement to enter Princeton or as an assistance while here. Neither have we entered into any form of promise or engagement to pay present or past expenses or to make future compensation in any way. Neither has any member of the team been benefited by any business arrangement while here.

"This year the football management have adopted the principle of discouraging personal attacks upon members of our college teams through the press. But since the Harvard Foot Ball Association has publicly based its withdrawal from the league upon the charge that Princeton defeated Harvard with a team partly composed of paid and irregular players, and since the withdrawal on these grounds has been, under misapprehension, approved by members of the Harvard faculty and board of overseers, as stated in the press, we assert that we have evidence in our possession that members of the Harvard eleven were offered pecuniary inducement to enter college to play foot-ball and are at present beneficiaries of the college funds."

This evidence has been forwarded to the Faculty Committee on Athletics at Harvard College, together with the above statement as to the Princeton team, with the request that the Har-Foot Ball Association make a public retraction of the general charges made against the Princeton management.

(Signed) FRANK S. MILLER, '90. President Princeton University Foot Ball Association.

Treasurer Princeton University Foot Ball Association.
