Kanaaa university vamlty foot ball team,
waa not ellfftbln to play In timet thla
eaon. accordlnc to a finding of tha ath
letic board, Tuesday. Therefore, the
board refuurd to award to tho iitar center
"K" and found It nefeary to (end to
tha different athletic boards In tha con
ference opologlea for having allowed A ti
re ni to participate In games with those
teams.
Likely nothing further will be done In
this matter, as Kansas did not win the
Mlaaourl valley champlonnhlp, and In fact
met with Httle success In conference
name. The game with Mls.ourl wai a
tie and Ahiena was one of the atari of
the Jayhawker team in that game, but
nothing can be done about it now.
A area. A tented Nat Claaaea.
It seems that Ahrrna enrolled In the
Jaw avhool this fall, but never attended
classes. Owing to a peculiar method of
handling the enrollment cards between
the dean and Instructors It waa supposed
that Ahrens was attending his claasea,
and because no reports had been given
to Draji Green of Ahrens falling In Ills
work the athlete was allowed to play,
tinder the presumption that ha was doing
good work.
Ills name headed the eligibility list sent
retia enrolled all right, but failed to "turn
ht cards over to tha Instructors, The
dean supposed ha was attending and the
teachers were unaware that he was en-
rolled.
At a meeting this afternoon a motion
to notify the other conference schools of
the action of the athletic board In refut
ing the letter was pawed.
Contrary to eicpectatlona fourteen "K'a"
were granted. The players receiving them
were: Danleln, Ammons, Balrd, Hrown
lee. Brurnwrll, C'oolldge. Davidson, Pavla,
Xelaney, Hell, Price. Bchwah. C. Wood
bury and WeldHn.
