Report of the Charges Made by
Murray M. McGuire against the
University of North Carolina.
At the request ot Mr. Mcliuire we
have consented to act as a committee
to examine into the charges made by
him against the conduct of athletics at
the University of North Carolina. It
was suggested to Mr. McGuire that
two be chosen from the faculty of the
University of Virginia, or one from
each institution. He adhered -to his
original request, however, and, though
much disinclined to do so, we serve on
his committee because we regard Mr.
McGuire's choice as an ' evidence . ot a
desire on his part to prove the justness
of his accusations to those very ones
who have been most interested in the
course of athletics at the University
of North Carolina. No other consid
eration would induce us to sit in judg
ment where matters in which we have
had to play prominent parts are called
into question.
We are requested to decide two
points:
1. Whether Mr. McGuire was jus
tified in what he said, taking into
consideration the information that he
had.
2. Whether this information is evi
dence strong enough to prove and
sustain what he has charged.
The evidence submitted by Mr. Mc
Guire consisted of his two articles in
the College Topics and a written pa
per containing a statement of his
charges, explanatory in a measure of
his articles in the College Topics, and
arguing the case still further on the
basis of the articles which have ap
peared in the two college papers.
Much of the paper is devoted to a dis
cussion as to what constitutes an in
ducement to a player. - Several autho
rities are ; quoted for some of the
statements made by him. It would
manifestly have been much better for
him to include written statements
from these authorities or witnesses so
that the exact language might have
been considered. Full weight, how
ever, has been given to all testimony
thus repeated by Mr. McGuire. No
weight whatever could be given to
such general' statements of Mr. Mc
Guire as that "charges were made," ac
cusations were brought."
The evidence submitted by the edi
tors of The Tar Heel was in the
shape of the two articles which appear
ed in that paper in reply to those in
the1 College Topics; letters from
Messrs. Floyd, Stephens, 'Robertson,
Collier, the manager of the Winston
Team, the manager of the Asheville
Team, the correspondence with the
officers of the Southern Intercollegiate
Association with reference to Mr.
Stephens and all letters and telegrams
sent to Mr. Collier by those who inter
ested themselves in his becoming their
fellow-student.
The result of our investigation of
the evidence is: '
1. That the charges against Mr.
Floyd are not sustained. That such
charges had been made by others
clearly does not justify Mr. McGuire
in repeating them unless they were
true.
2. The evidence as to Mr. Lanier
is faulty. Mr. McGuire says that "it
is denied that Lanier received money
before playing at U. N. C, in 1892, it
is not denied that the charge was
brought in 1892." The question,
again must be whether the charge
waa justified and not whether one was
made. The letter from the manager
of the Winston Team exonerates Mr.
Lanier from the charge of playing for
money before he become a student of
the University of North Carolina. We
can scarcely be expected to pass on the
question why a student enters college.
Mr. McGuire says that the facts that
Lanier entered college in March 1892
and had played on the Winston Team
were calculated to throw doubt on the
purpose of his coming to college. That
he had planned to enter college in the
all but could not for financial reasons.
He was forced to teach school. As
soon as his school closed he entered
college. He studied well. He paid
the larger part of his law tuition and
all of his other expenses and success
fully passed his examinations. '
3. In the Stephens matter the facts as we
gather them are that he was challeng
ed, his record was laid fully beioretlie
proper committee and they unanimous-
y decided that he was eligible. We
ail to see Mr. McGuire's justification
in making it a matter oi uidiyc
ajrainst the N. C, men that the presi
dent of the Association afterwards
