...rebuttal we present letters in which the charge is contradicted in every particular by the statements of every person mentioned who is accessible. Mr. Cumnock says: "I have never made any offer of pecuniary aid to any person, to become or to remain a member of the Harvard team, and such offers have not to my knowledge been made by any member of the Harvard Football Association. The whole charge is false and without foundation from beginning to end." Mr. Upton says: "I did not state to Mr. L. D. Mowry or to any other person that money offers...
...Linn, the captain of the Harvard Nine, says in the letter printed herewith: "I have not made, and no one has been authorized by me, to make any offer whatsoever to Mr. Ammerman or to anybody else." Mr. Cumnock also makes denial for the Football Association. Mr. Ammerman, further, designates the person who solicited him simply as "a Harvard man," whose official connection with the Harvard Association he says, in the full text of the letter published herewith, he is unable to give.

We can discover no trace of the payment, or offer, of money to any person to play upon the Harvard teams this year. Employment has in a case or two been secured for men of moderate means by those interested in them. And there was in 1888-89 the instance, referred to above, in which an athletic man, not then a member of any team, borrowed a sum of money for college expenses from a fellow...
DEAR SIR.- In the New York Herald of the date of November the 15th there was a despatch from Philadelphia to the effect that Mr. Ammerman, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, had been approached by a prominent member of the Harvard nine and had been offered inducements to come to Harvard. In reply to your question concerning the article I wish to say that I have not made and no one has been authorized by me to make any offer whatsoever to Mr. Ammerman or to anybody else, Yours very truly, PHILIP B, LINN, Capt...
