WOULD REVIVE OLD RULES,

l think it would be wise to revive
the old Northwest rules. so far as they
apply to athletes who represent col
lege in intercollegiate athletics one
year, and the following year go to
some other institution, said President
Bryan, in discussing probable issues
of the athletic conference which is
scheduled to meet in Walla Walla
early in February. 81 may add, also.
that these rules were enforced at the
State College as long as they were
effective among the other institutions
of the Northwest.
81 do not believe. however, that
the feasibility of this one year resi-
dence rule is generally admitted among
the institutions where it has been
tried. Recently. in discussing this
question with members of the "Big
Nine" of the Mississippi valley, l
was told that one years trial of this
rule had been unsatisfactory. A de-
sire was expressed to return to the old
system. 1t was believed that no good
was gained by the exclusion of Fresh
men from the game of football; that
it did not make any greater purity in
athletics.
am certainly not in favor of
summer baseball. For the welfare of
the student. I think he had better not
play baseball during the summer.
approve the suggestion recently made
by President Penrose, of Whitman
College, that twelve hours be the
minimum time allowed bona fide
student; that is, to be eligible to in
tercollegiate athletics, the student
should put in twelve hours of class
work each week. - 'h
