lege president appointed sub-comni
The Yale committee acting for Presi-
dent Angell was made UP Of Professor
C. w. Wendell, chairman Of the Yale
Board Athletic Control; DR.. James G.
Greenway, head Of the Yale Health De
partment, and Fred Allen, prominent
Yale graduate who has kept in close
touch with athletics. The findings of
the committee were recently reviewed
by the three presidents and the state
ment below was issued.
The main changes in the former pol
icy lie in the fact that in the future
the season football training period
Is to be limited to one week prior to
the opening Of the college; no more
nter-sectional contests will be held in
the future; and every athlete in the
three institutions shall be required 10
fill out statement similar to an in
come tax report sh owing the source of
all the cash he has saved while in col
lege. The statement follows in detail:
There is already a working agree
ment whereby Harvard, Yale and
Princeton submit 10 committee com
posed of the chairmen of their ath-
Lotto boards all debatable questions af-
fecting their relations with one an
other and this committee has from
time to time formulated various rules
under which these institutions now
conduct their athletics. Through the
new regulations, which supplement
these mentioned above, the three uni
versities hope to improve the extant
conditions and to establish intercol-
legiate athletics more securely in
their proper position as valuable ele-
ments in a wholesome college life.
"I--Financial assistance or induce
ments.

bility shall in advance of competition

tion in any sport detailed statement

iton in the case of an athlete who is
shown TO have received financial aid
from others than those on whom he
is naturally dependent for support; the
committee shall then, in advance of
his competition, submit the facts 10 the
committee Of the three chairmen {rep-
resenting the taree universities), which

scholarship and willingness to meet
his obligations as evidence that con-
tinuance of financial aid to the athlete
on grounds of character. scholarship
and conduct seems unwise, and that,
therefore. the committee may have to
declare him Ineligible.

the committee of the three cnairmen
shall tnke into consideration the mo-
tives of those who give the aid and the
motives of those who receive it,

any pecuniary reward or it's equivalent
by reason of his connection with ath-
letics-whether for playing, coaching.
or acting as teacher in any branch of

ity-shall represent his university in
any athlete team or crew, except that
the committee of the three chairmen may
permit such participation in inter-col-
legiate athletics by men who might
technically be debarred under the let

ment of. the committee have not COM
mercialized their athletic ability nor
offended against the spirit of the fore
going provision.
SO. No student shall represent his
university in any athletic team or crew
who receives from others than those
on whom he is naturally dependent for
financial support, money by gift or

tutions to induce boys in the schools
TO go to particular institution. The
detraying OF part Or all of the ex-
pense OF visiting a university by any
one except the persons on whom a
boy Is naturally dependent may be in
terpreted to disqualify him from repre-
senting that university in any colieee
