new RULINGS BY
WRESTLING LEAGUE
intercollegiate Scoring
System Places Greater
Value on Falls.

Dual wrestling meets between col
ieges IN the Intercollegiate Wrestling
League should be more closely con-
tested and more falls should result,
as the consequence of a ruling by the
league at regular meeting at Earl
Hall. Columbia, yesterday afternoon.
The system Of point scoring was
changed from FIVE points for a fall and
four points for a decision 10 four
points for fail and three for n de-
cision. The effect OF the change will be
10 make three falls equal TO four de-
cisiOns. whereas under the old system
four decisions totalled one more point
than three falls. 1t is believed that
the change will be an added incentive
for falls. The rule was fostered b.
c. F.. Vance. of Lehigh, secretar: OF
the league. and passed unanimously.
A policy Of expansion was decided
upon. and Brown and Lafayette will in
all probability be invited 10 join the
league At present there are only five
colleges in the league Columbia,
Pennsylvania. Cornell, Princeton and
Lehigh. Yale dropped out severa!
years ago.
A notion by President l.. Blanke Of
Cornell was passed, strictly defining
the eligibility of entrants 10 the inter-
collegiates. A man must be in resi-
dcnce in the college he represents 10:
a full year before the Intercollegiate
or must have beer inactive IN the IN
tercollegiates CT the year before. All
other minor sport collegiate leagues
have a similar ruling, and it was TO
supply the defect that this amendment
was added to the bylaws.
Three referees were selected for the
intercolleglates at Lehigh. South Beth
lehem, on Friday and Saturday next.
They are Frank Lynch, coach of the
Navy wrestling team; ". +. Lewis,
Penn State wrestling coach, and Her
man Wolfe, of Philadelphia
