The rule over which Ruth and the commissioner took issue barred mem bers Of championship teams from en- gazing in post-SeaSon games. There seemed to be little equity in it but no doubt it's sponsors felt that they were justified by an incident that followed the 1916 world series.
 On this occasion, the Boston Red Sox raced through the Brooklyn on a junket up through New Eng land one of their first stops was New Haven, with a franchise in the East ern League and by this Class A out fit the Red Sox were beaten 13 to 1. Few of the champions were in condt- tion to play that game in spite of the fact that they had just completed a world series a day or so before The result left the status of major league baseball under a cloud.
 But because popular sentiment seemed to demand it, the rule was rewritten to give the players even greater latitude than before. And what happened? Individuals con- ducted themselves with a deplorable lack of judgment and the Kansas City team of the American Association took on a negro outfit known as the Monarchs, for the city title and were beaten in several games by bowling scores.
 for breaking open a new deck and starting another deal If they get their way the rule will be revised to such a drastic extent that only the world series, the various city series and such tours as Judge Landis may approve will be countenanced among post season activities.

 So the executive officers of the col lege, according to campus rumor, consider just as important the ques- ton of whether painted windows and locked stairway doors make it proper for college women to disport them selves in the splashy depths, and, per haps squeal just a little bit on nit ting the chilling pool, within easy earshot of several score Of young men who are typical collegians and per hapS in some cases of none too Stud1- ous turn of mind.
 The matter has been considered in one faculty meeting, with no reply having been announced to the stu detn body. Among the faculty you can't get an official expression, but each one of the deans, with a side glance, will give you an opinion of his own.
 'sWhen the dean of men, the dean of women the dean of divinity school and the dean of arts and sciences, the college pastor and the president him. self all give different reasons for our not swimming what can you expect?' asked one coed.
 Meanwhile, to swim or not to swim is the question. with long odds on mot to swim"
