FOR REFORM IN ATHLETIC ABUSES.
New Eligibility Rule Suggested in "The
Harvard Bulletin

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. pa new eligibility rule
for college athletics, by which freshmen and grad
uate students would be debarred from taking part
athletic contests with other colleges, is suggest
ed IN to-day's issue Of THE Harvard Bulletin
This is the rule suggested:
Only members of the sophomore. Junior and senior
glasses of Harvard College and OF the LaWrence
Scientific School and special students in either OF
the above named departments who have had one
years residence shall represent Harvard University
in athle..: contests. No who has ever played
on an athletic team of any other college is
than twenty-five years old shall be eligible for any
Harvard team
Commenting on the proposed rule. The Bulletin
says:
1t is believed that the enactment of some such
rule would do away with solicitation Of students in
preparatory schools. That is the reason for max
ing freshmen ineligible If there We're no abuses in
departments might well be allowed to play. but
most os the disputes and troubles arise in
nection with such students and those who have
played for other colleges.
Under this rule the four-year regulation as to
playing would be abolished. would also tho rule
allowing to represent one college after coming
from another after one years residence.
