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. ---------- Arthur C.
