Philadelphia, Nov. % Following tho
suggestion of President Roosevelt for
uniform eligibility rules in college
athletics and for the elimination of I'M
necessary l~OughnesS, brutality and foul
play in the American game of football,
the University of Pennsylvania has
taken the initiative tor suggested re-
forms and has addressed a circular let
ter on the subject to the heads of all
universities. colleges and private.
schools in the United States interested,
in athletics. This action was taken,
after a number of meetings of the COM,
mittee on athletics of the University of,
PENNSYLVANIA, ut which the presidents,
thoughts on the subject were dis
cussed. The committee formulated
rules which it thought would meet the,
situation and decided to send them to
all educational institutions in the ccun-j
try for consideration II adoption, if,
they met approval. J
The letter is as follows:
president Roosevelt in an inter
view with a member of this committee,
professor White) expressed his opin-
ion as to the urgent need of an earn
est and concerted effort to secure uni
formity in the form of eligibility rules
Of colleges and universities Of this
country"
Professor Hills, of Harvard, has ex-
pressed the same thought. In his opin-
ion the backbone of college regulation
of athletics rests in three rules:
J.. \ definition of professionalism.
9. a rule which should require all
members OF athletic teams to be gen
uine students of the college which they
represent and to be satisfactory in their
studies.
3. \ rule to prevent the procure
ment Of good players from other col
leges by social or money inducements.
