ELIGIBILITY RULES
OF WESLEYAN PLAYERS
STUDENT WHO EETERED COLLEGE
BEFORE wAR WILL BE AL
LOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN
ATHLETICS.
Returning Soldiers and Sailors Arc In
titled to Scholarships Ranging
Up to S25O,


BCCKHANNON. Sept. S.-An import
ant announcement has been made by the
Homo Missionary society of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, stating that re-
turning soldiers and sailors are en-
titled to scholarships ranging up to
$3.50 in value, according to the need Of
the applicant. This fund Is ono Of the
many fine things that came through tho
big centenary movement recently closed.
Returning soldier and sailor athletes
are TO receive the benefits Of the schol-
arships as we'll as any other men who
meet the requirements
These scholarships can be arranged
for by soldiers and sailors who are re-
turning to Wesleyan college and who
are choosing the big Methodist institu-
ton as medium Of learning. The
scholarships are intended primarily for
the young mon Of tho Methodist church,
but there are cer,ain situations which
render them available for members of
other churches, or in particular cases
TO young men not belonging to any
church at all. but who have chosen the
Methodist as their college.
Rule 12 OF the eligibility rules Of the
Athletic association Of Wesleyan col
lege reads as follows: mo student shall
be eligible to play on the varsity teams
WHO "dS not d stu
dent at Wesleyan tho previous year. ex-
cept such students as come directly
from high schools or other secondary
schools not connected with any college"
This rule as it reads would bar any
athlete who was in Wesleyan college
prior to tho war from participation in
athletics during tho present year. Also
it would hold many other athletes from
participation in games because Of its
peculiar reading.
Rule II of the eligibility rules reads
as follows: No student shall be eligible
to represent Wesleyan college in any in
tercollegiate athletic contest who does
not have a minimum OF twelve units of
college entrance work completed"
The athletic management Of Wesleyan
college does not think that it is fair to
penalize men who would otherwise be
eligible to compete in athletics this sea-
son had they not entered service. There
fore the faculty Of Wesleyan college
will be requested by the athletic man
agement not to apply the two rules
herein mentioned too Hgidly. This Is
done in recognition Of the patriotism OF
the soldier and sailor athletes who broke
their school plans and who have made
themselves ineligible to compete In ath-
letic contests because of their loyalty
10 country and the freedom Of the world.
