Athletic Committees Hold Session
On Saturday evening, January rs, at
the University club in San Francisco,
the facnlty athletic committee of Stan
ford university and the University Of
California met in joint session.
The meeting was not for the purpose
Of assing any new legislation in re-
gard 70 athletics, but was given up to
the discussion of some of the standing
rules laid down several years ago by
this committee.
The main action taken was the decis-
ion to r'gidly enforce the rule passed on
April Il, 1906, making 1t impossible for
university teams to compete against
serni-prcfessional teams. This will work
the greatest hardship on the baseball
teams.
For the varsity team it has been the
custom to gain valuable practice by
games played with teams of not purely
amateur standing. The rule states that
"in all games against any university or
collegiate institute on the Pacific coast
each shall secure a certificate from the
other that each member of their team
is a bona fide student of amateur
standing to the best of their knowledge
and belief"
The enforcement of this rule will not
affect the present baseball season.
On the same evening the intercolle-
giate agreement committee of the two
universities met in their annual meet
ing at the Paramount hotel.
The most important transaction of
the evening was the agreement that
beginning one year from now fresh
men baseball should become a regularly
listed Intercollegiate sport
The number of entries which each
university is allowed to enter in an
event in the intercollegiate field day
was reduced from seven to six.

Harmons gymnasium at Berkeley, the
annual Carnot debate will be held be-
tween Stanford university and Cali
fornia.
