freshmen are not allowed 10 take part in any
intercollegiate contest. Because of this Edward

of Princeton, and ]. Bidding of Harvard wanted
freshmen barred. as II would work a hardship If
Columbia and Yale could draw on extra mate
rial.
Columbia opposed any change in the present
rules. but a compromise made and it was
finally decided that when any college which pre-
vents freshmen from playing on the team meets
another college no freshmen are to be allowed
to compete either side. In all other cases.
such a meeting between Columbia and Yale
freshmen will be eligible

siderable difficulty was experienced in arranging
