If college continues to keep a ruiz
about barring men from participating il
varsity sport because they have playet
for money or with those who have played
for money, it is refreshing to see that
college enforce the rule as Dartmouth has
just done in the case of one of its base
ball players. To adopt a very strict pot
icy and then to let the enforcement OF
that policy be very lax is the acme of hy-
pocrisy. Better might college permit
ting such laxity come out in the open and
allow its students to participate whether
they have played for money or not, and
to make no secret of it, either. 1t is hard
to play the ostrich in intercollegiate
sport.
