Partially right. Cornell brought the issue up, because one of their
players, Peter Titanic, was in a similar situation to Decloe and had been
declared ineligible, and Cornell wanted his eligibility restored and was
using Decloe as a precedent. Harkness had nothing to do with it, since by
then he had been with the Detroit Red Wings for two years.
