FIVE COLLEGES ACT
ON FRESHMAN RULE
Prohibits Students in First
Year From Playing On
Varsity Elevens.

A movement entirely new In college
athletic standards and relations has Just
been launched by President MacCracken
OF Lafayette College. He has communi-
Gated to the presidents Of Lehigh. Rut-
gers. Brown and Colgate universities tho
suggestion and recommendation that all
these colleges pass the athletic regula-
ton known as the freshman rule"
which prohibits students in the first
year from playing on the varsity
eievens.
Lafayette. incidentally. has gone part
way In this movement for in a recent
announcement following the close of this
years gridiron season it is declared that
henceforth- Lafayette would not play
freshman on its football teams in games
against opponents which also withheld
freshmen.
President MacCracken has no plan Of
forming a little five" football confer
eace or group, and that scheme is not in
the lesst included in the projected move.
Thrse OF the teams. Lafayette, Rutgers
and Lehigh. are intimate and close
rivals on the gridiron and in most other
sports and annually meet under an
arrangement which provides for home
games in alternate years. This year
Lehigh In addition played Brown and
SoiSate, Dut THIS Is not permanent
arrangement.
The reason ascribed for President
MacCracken's proposals Is that all five
colleges are prominent on the gridiron
and in one year or another have been
ranked at the top as leading" teams OF
the East, and as such periodical lead
ers Of the gridiron sport there has been
criticism now and then, in many cases
by alumni. that these colleges have noe
fallen in line with most others in pro-
hibiting freshmen from playing.
1t is known that the project has been
under close consideration at Rutgers.
and few weeks ago statement
emanated from New Brunswick that in
dicated a freshman rule was in sight
and would be passed as soon as funds
were available for properly coaching and
administering freshman teams. This
year Rutgers started in an Informal way
freshman team, which played several
games. but which was virtually forced
to break up when two or three of its
stars were promoted by Coach Sanford
to the varsity. Lehigh also has been
discussing the proposal informally and
is known to be in receptive mood.
