PROMINENT ATHLETES DROPPED

J. A. Gilman '16, captain of next year's football team, W. J. Boles '18, T. H. Enwright, Jr. '18, and F. W. Ecker '18, manager of the second University football team, were dropped from the College by the authorities yesterday afternoon on account of troubles with the Office in regard to studies. In the cases of J. A. Gilman '16 and W. J. Boles '18, the chances of reinstatement seem slight, as they have been in difficulties before. Boles was considered the best pitcher in the University. T. H. Enwright, Jr. '18 has been on probation since the middle of the football season and for that reason was unable to play in the Yale game. His chance for being taken back is fairly good. The case of F. W. Ecker '18 is nearly the same as that of Enwright, and it appears probable at this time that he will be in good standing with the College authorities by the opening of college next fall, as he had no previous deficiencies in his studies.
