The annual meeting OF che IltereoI.
lesiate Assoeiation Football League
was held at Columbia University last
Saturday. Each Of the seven mem
bers Of the organization was repre-
sented by one or more men, making q
total body Of 16 delegates. Most Of the
time was taken up BY lengthy dis
cussioH Of the eligibility question; an
Collegiate team was also picked
and a tentative schedule for 1915
championship games drawn up. Rules
were proposed barring graduate stu
dents, freshmen and players who had
represented a college for more than
three years. After lengthy consider
alton of the proposed changes only the
first of these propositions was adopted.

dent holding a degree from his own
or another institution will hereafter be
Ineligible to play in any game in the
Soccer League, whether he Is eligible
by reason Of the four year rule or not.

had played any three years were fav-
ored by Princeton, Cornell and Har-
ward, but Columbia and Haverford
stood out in open opposition, while
Pennsylvania and Yale adopted a neu-
trail attitude. When the question was
brought to a vote both rules failed to
pass. The proposals to shorten the
length of the halves also required q
long time to settle. The rule has
hitherto followed the English code,
which calls for two playing periods of

after a careful study of the effects Of
the game on players last season came
to the conclusion that the shorter
game would be more beneficial to the
players and would not in general pro-
duce any change in the relative stand
ing of the teams at the end of the sea-
son. In accordance with this report,
it was finally decided to change the
length Of the periods to So minutes.
