LEGORE DECLARED INELIGIBLE

He and Four Others Admit Having Played Baseball for Board.

By Robert G. Rhett jr., (Special Dispatch to the CRIMSON).

New Haven, Conn., Oct. 18.--The following letter is made public by the Yale University Athletic Association in order that it may receive the honorable recognition to which it is entitled: October 18, 1915.   Professor Robert H. Corwin, chairman, Yale University Athletic Association.

Dear Sir:

We, the undersigned members of the Yale University baseball team of 1915, during the past summer played with the Quoque Field Club nine, the club furnishing board and room to the players. From the time we discovered the provision in the Yale rules that no man who has received board for playing summer baseball shall represent Yale on its teams, each of us paid in full for board and lodging subsequently furnished him by the club. In view, however, of the fact that we did, although unintentionally and ill advised, violate the rule we hereby withdraw from competition in intercollegiate athletics.
