Columbia Decides They
Should Not Come Under

NEW YORK, Nov. L-COIumbia' g

important ruling in regard 10 the eli

United States VIII be maintained. but
a modification has been made so that
students from colleges and universities

This ruling embraces all students from
English, French, and German institu-
tons, but those coming from Canadian
schools VIII stiu be cIassed as American
students and, therefore, will not be per
mitted 10 compete on teams during their
first year at Columbia.
The modification will have a far
reaching effect on Columbia athletics

year.
Columbia is the first American uni

letic committee, which has charge Of
eligibility, because IL was believed that
men from foreign institutions. who had
never competed against American col
lege teams. were being unjustIy excIud-
ed under the old rule. They cite as a
precedent the fact that American stu
dents in the English universities are
allowed TO compete on the athletic
teams In their FIRST year, even though
they have just come from an American
college. To bear this out they say
that the oxford lawn tennis team last
year was composed OF seven members.

London sporting newspaper men was
foru-c on November j. al the request
of II ickSuschmidt the wrestler, 10 ar

the title Of the Professional Wrestling

cisioH.
Hackeuschmidt intrusted the arrange

match him with GJtch. first OF all.
GOtch, too, seems 10 have understood
that he waE to meet Haczenschmidt on

Committee Too Gay.
To the surprise and regret OF both
men. the committee arranged for Hack

Gotch 70 meet Lemm in a second match
In April
Hackenschmidt promptly repudiated
the committees decision, saying that 30
had been stipulated that he was to meet
G0tch before taking on any other WFes-
/ tier.
Gotch has not gone so far as this.

Discussing the situation tonight, Gotch
said 20 the Morning Telegraph CORE

If ZbyscO defeats Hackenschmidt IN
March. I will probably refuse 10 wrestle
