COLORADO FACULTIES
ON SCHOOL ATHLETICS

The faculties of the five colleges in
Colorado have been busy again and
the result is the putting of some more
restrictions on college athletes and
athletics The faculties got together
informally last January and again
more recently. At their recent con-
ference it was voted that any one
game or portion of a game in inter
collegiate athletics shall constitute a
full year. For example. if collegian
has played four years of baseball and
only three of football he cannot play
the fourth at football
II was decided that students to be
eligible to take part in any intercol-
lcgiate contest must be up in a min
imum of 2 hours of college work per
week.
Regarding the rule which requires
that every athlete must be "A high
school graduate to play in college or
that he must at least have ii entrance
credits, an exception was made in the
case Of Denver university dental
school students 1t was the sentiment
of the meeting that all bona fide stu
dents should he allowed to play.
Denver dental freshmen are only re-
CURED to present three years of high
school work and yet it was considered
unfair 60 bar them.
IL was voted that any student par
