NEW ATHLETIC RULES.

Plans for Future Conduct.

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-Plans are
under way at both Harvard and Yale
to come to a mutual agreement dur
ing the coming Chistmast holidays re-
garding both new schedule of ath-
letic meets between the two univer-
stiles and new set of eligibility rules,
says Times dispatch from New Ha-
ven, Conn.
From what can be learned, it Is pro-
posed to work out new set of rules
that viii be identical for both Har-
ward and Yale and will limit the candl-
dates TO the various university grades,
The result Of the present system has
been that several athletic teams. es-
pecially football elevens. at all of the
large universities in recent years, have
drawn to large extent on graduates
of western colleges for their star men,
to the exclusion Of undergraduates in
their own Institutions and has made
II possible for mature athletes from
small colleges to enter into sports
where they meet undergraduates on
opposing teams from five to 10 years
their junior.
II has likewise brought about sew,
eral unpleasant controversies between
Yale and Harvard, and II has brought
TO the schools of both universities
set of men who come for almost the
only purpose of entering athletics.
