WHEN BLUES FAIL Sporting IN EXAMINATIONS

University Penalty

The decision by which two un- dergraduates-D. W. M. Napier, who rowed at four in the Cam. bridge University crew last spring. and. ED. E. Reed, who was looked upon as a likely three-quarter-back in the Rugby team this term--are to go out of residence because they had not passed certain examina- tions, is by no means an isolated

one.

Failure to pass examinations at the University is not an infrequent canse for undergraduates-even those who have achlored some dis- tinction in the field of sport-not to be allowed to remain in re- sidence.

In the present instance, Mr. Napler and Mr. Reed had failed in their tripos examination last May term: They were allowed to sit for a special examination at the begin- ning of this term, the result of which decided whether they would be allowed to remain in residence

or not.

This does not mean that the ban Is permanent, as they may be per- mitted to return at some future date if they decide to take another subiect.
