gets to the point quickly and usually can
tell at a glance whether or not a girl
likes him.
The French lassies also admire the
spirit Of fair play shown by the boys
from the States. One girl wrote that
she met two soldiers--one light, the
other dark. While she really liked the
one of blonde complexion, she said, the
other was paying her greater attention.
But when he saw that his comrade had
made the deeper impression he readily
gave way.
Smooth faces of the doughboys and
their broad shoulders also appeal to the
maids of France. In comparison they
say a face with trained eyebows and
moustache has no comparison.
Lastly the candor of the American

THREE VARSITY
YEARS AT PENN
New Eligibility Rule Cuts
One Season From Sports
Career
BERT BELL MAY PLAY

Dean Mcclellan. chairman of the Uni
versity Council on athletics at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. has given out
new set of eligibility rules which will
govern athletics at the institution across
the river.
According to this new code n Penn
athlete may compete in varsity sports
three years instead of four as in former
years. This rule Is in application at
virtually all the leading colleges at the
present time The text of the rule
follows:
(g) No student shall represent one
or more universities or colleges cf the
Carnegie List" in intercollegiate ath-
1etics for more than three years. but
any student who has engaged in con-
test or practice with any team or crew
of the University during the college
year 1917-1s shall remain eligible under
the eligibility rules of the University Of
Pennsylvania of 1867 TO the extent Of
one more year.
Degree Rule Different
Virtually the only difference between
the new code as approved and that OF
most of the other colleges, is the degree
rule. Under the old set of eligibility
rules governing Pennsylvania sports OF
years ago, man holding a degree was
allowed to pay on varsity teams In
framing the new set of rules there was
much discussion on this point, but the
athletic council decided not TO change
this section, and thus 1t stands.
At first ii was feared that the three
year rule would prevent the playing of
Captain Bert Bell and Heinie Miller and
other former Penn foe tball stars now in
France, who expect to return to college
next fall in order to complete their
courses. AL, of these men have played
in varsity competition for three years,
but as they left college at Christmas
they still have another year to finish
All fears of this nature were set aside
by Dean Mcclellan, when he defined
the three-year RUE as being nonretroac-
tive or that It would only apply to
men entering the University since jan
uary s 1919.
No Indoor Practice
Coach Roy Thomas intends to try a
new plan In the early training of the
Penn baseball team this year. Instead
of having the usual early indoor prac-
tice in Weightman Hall, the Red and
Blue tutor is gcing to get the men on
Franklin Field at an earlier date than
usual.
However. the coach is going to get
his battery candidates busy by next
Monday. when the first call for candi-
dates will be made. The main reason
for the elimination of the indoor work
is on account CT the poor Nsht ana the
cramped space in which the men have
to practice. In fact, the batting prac-
tice is very dangerous, for it is diff
ult to see the ball.
Thomas has several veterans from
teams of the last two years. Johnny
Titzell is one of the best pitchers Of
recent years that ever donned the Red
and Blue. Johnny. who is a portsder,
played OH the team Of 1917. and won
many games through bis twirling efforts.
