SMITH MAKES STATEMENT Rumor of Injustice Toward Univer sity of Pittsburgh Authorities Is Squelched by Penn State. Since Thanksgiving 1910, at which time the Pitt team defeated our eleven, stray stories have arisen that Forbes Field had been watered before the game that year. The matter of wetting the field was denied by all connected at Pitt and, in order to quell the unfounded rumor and lift 'an injustice from a university 'whose advancement in all lines is greatly appreciated by Penn State, R. H. Smith has sent the following letter to the Univer sity of Pittsburgh which dispels any suspicion that our authorities may have in the matter. The Athletic Association of the Pennsylvania State College, Office of Graduate Manager, State Col lege, Pa. February 17, 1913 Mr. Charles S. Miller, Director of Athletics, University of Pittsburgh, Grant Boulevard, city: Dear Sir—l have your letter rela tive to the revival of rumors charg ing the University of Pittsburgh athletic authorities with watering or otherwise tampering with the gridiron at Forbes Field, for the — purpose of handicapping Penn State players in our annual football game. I also note your suggestion that I attend an investigation to prove the falsity , of these rumors, and that you have a number of prominent men whose evidence would be unimpeachable, who are willing to take oath that the charges are false. The athletic authorities at Pitts burgh are done a very grave injus tice by the circulation of these rumors. I beliet'e that I luttrebeen in closer touch with athletic affairs with the University of Pittsburgh than any other representative of Penn State, and I can say that there is absolutely no foundation in these stories. With reference to your sugges tion that I attend an investigation to prove the falsity of the rumors, I would say that sTia action is en tirely unnecessary as I have never placed any credence in the report, and have always had the greatest confidence in those who have charge of athletics at the University of Pittsburgh. In the nine years that I have dealt with Pitt our rela tions have been most pleasant and, for my part, there has always been a feeling of confidence in the fair dealing and good sportsmanship of your athletic authorities. I will be glad to co-operate with you in any way possible toward a correction of these rumors, and the great injustice they have done. Very truly yours, R. H. Smith, Graduate Manager of Athletics.

With the loss of the Ohio State and the Cornell games the man agement faced a difficult problem in securing desirable games to fill their places. Negotiations for games were made with Yale, Har vard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, Syracuse, West Point, Michigan, Lehigh, Swarthmore, Colgate,Dick inson, and Haverford, but all of these efforts were unavailing. Pros pects for a game with Yale or Har vard for a short time looked very bright but when the tentative sched ules were submitted to the respec tive Athletic Committees our game Was crossed off as being too severe for the time of the season for which it was scheduled. The schedule of games for the Freshman team, as completed to date includes the following: October 25, Indiana Normal School at Indiana. November 1, pending for a home game. November 8, Mercersburg Acad emy at Mercersburg. November 15, Bellefonte Acad emy at Bellefonte. November 22, Freshman—Sopho more Game.
