Dean Howard McClenahan chairman
of Prlnceton's board of athletic con-
troll, and the faculty committee on
outdoor sports denied unqualifiedly
the report which stated that the
Tigers were thinking of permitting
freshmen to play on minor athletic
teams, beginning next fall 1T Is
without any foundation whatever"
he stated. THE question has not even
been mentioned. The Tigers are very
careful about not permitting fresh
men to participate on the varsity
teams, and have been zealously re-
specting the one-year rule for varsity
men, suffering often, in so far as sue
cessful teams are concerned, from the
inability of certain stars in the fresh
man class to play with the varsity.
All movements to break down the rule
have been quashed before they were
fairly started"
