i)oinions Divided
AS to New Oxford
Athletic Rules.

Sew York. Nov. l9.-Sentiment
among college men in the East appears
To be about equally divided regarding
the action of the Oxford University
Athletic committee in limiting the
athletic eligibility Of Rhodes scholars
in The famous English university for
sport competitions. According 10 the
rule raised by the O. a c., resi-
dence at any time in any other univef-
sity or similar institution will bar a
Rhodes student from competing in
Freshman sports, and by a second rui-
ing ne competitor shall be allowed to
compete in the oxford University

opinion of close followers of American
collegiate athletics that these reguia-
lions will severely handicap American.
Canadian and Australian Rhodes schol-
AIRS attending oxford. Since they can-
not compete in the Freshman sports
and must be under "a years of age To
participate In the oxford University
Athletic Club competition, their field
Of activity is considerably curtailed.
The ruling is also expected TO have
an effect upon the personnel of Ok
ford track and field teams in the dual
games with Cambridge University,
since the athletes who make the Ok
ford teams are usually chosen as a re-
suit OF their records and performances
IN the o. Il. 4. c. games. The question
OF the eligibility of Rhodes scholar
athletes has been the subject of mueh
discussion In English Varsity athlet-
les. Cambridge adherents have claimed
that for several years, their college
teams have been under handicap IN
