Stanford and Berkeley Ne
gotiating on Principles
Of Athletics
Republican A. p. Leased wire7

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 4.-Terms
on which the Universities of Califor-
mia and Stanford could resume ath-
letic relations We're outlined in an
open letter made public here tonight
addressed to Paul Wilson. president
of the Associated Students of stan
ford University by a committee of
Stanford alumni to whom the task
of formulating a peace plan had
been referred by the Associated STU
dents
The committee recommended that
Stanford concede to California's de
mand that freshmen he eliminated
from participation in intercollegiate
athletics upon condition that the
University of California require of
athletes the same relative standard
of scholarship as that required by
Stanford and that students Of the af-
filiated colleges and the agricultural
farm mt Davis be barred with Ger
tain notifications
The Stanford students were ad-
vised in the letter to continue rugby
football because rugby is better
game for the athlete from a mental
and physical point Of view in that
it capitalizes individual brains and
skill rather than the brains Of
professional coach" and because
rugby is not Il dangerous game as
is the intercollegiate"
The committee made no recon-
mendations regarding Stanford join
ing the Pacific Coast Conference but
expressed its opposition to post-season
competition "beleving it better that
after the big Intercollegiate contests
the athletes give their undivided at
tention to their studies
The letter was signed by Leland
W. Cutler. Fred L. Berry. John T
Nourse. Richard w. Barrett. \. l.
