again proralnenf. n n well known that
some 81 the colleges In the country have
ensirely given ap their efforts Of DrOh

or ~ equivalent by tbelr students. These
colleges elAim that 10 IL not practicable TO
enforce the amnteuT rulea with regard to
thls sport: that q has been tried In tho past
and failsd: that !, h better to come out
sauarsly and permits tho studsnts to play
Tor money under certain restrictions than
To Drohihit h end not be able to enfOrcs the
