TWO FOOTBALL PLAYERS DISBARRED AS AMATEURS

Joseph T. Murphy '22, known to undergraduates as "Cuddy" Murphy, a star tackle, and Guy E. Cogswell '20, an end, have been declared ineligible to represent Dartmouth in any branch of intercollegiate sport. Their disbarrment is a result of their playing football on Sunday, November 23, as members of the Cleveland "Tigers", a professional football team of Cleveland, O. against the Detroit "Heralds", another professional team. Murphy and Cogswell were declared ineligible by the Dartmouth Athletic Council. Neither man denied the charges.

Both men seemed to believe that they had not violated the amateur rules for Cogswell produced a letter from Ingersoll, manager of the "Tigers" in which it was said that only expense money would be given them and that "this was in accord with Amateur Athletic Union rules."

The loss of Murphy strikes Dartmouth baseball as well as football for he was a star pitcher, rated as one of the best in New England colleges. Sporting editors in selecting star football teams gave him high rank the past fall. Cogswell first played football at Dartmouth in 1916. He later left college, then returned, and last fall he made his letter.
