NAVY Will ADOPT
ELIGIBILITY RULE
Athletic Relations With Army
Are Threatened

Annapolis, Md, June IS (uP)-
Athletic relations between the Army
and Naval academies after July l..
1925 were threatened by the an
nouncement Of Rear Admiral Louis
NJ. Mutton. superintendent OF the
Naval academy that the "three-year
eligibility" rule had been adopted
After July l. 1928. the Navy crews
and teams will not meet opponents
who do not observe those rules. Null
ton said.
The adoption Of the "three-year
rule" means that no athlete will be
permitted to play on Navy varsity
teams who has engaged in athletics
for more than three years, including
time at any other college and at the
academy.
While no direct inference was
given it was taken to be the last and
final stroke of the navy against the
armys policy of using for four years
star football players and athletes
who had played three or four years
OF varsity athletics before entering
the academy.
Several years ago the Navy OPEN
ed the campaign by announcing the
adoption of the freshman rule which
would not permit members of the
plebe class to engage in varsity con-
tests but the army ignored the action
and continued to play plebes in their
regular varsity games.
The Army frequently has asserted
the policy that it was not seeking
star college athletes to become SOL
diers and if star athletes from other
colleges were mentally capable of
passing. the examinations and attain
the redllired marks in the class room
they should not be penalized on the
athletic field because Of previous ex-
perience.
The section of the resolution read
ing that the Navy would not meet
teams or crews that did not observe
the 'three-year rule" could mean
nothing but a direct action against
the Army. as the Navy for years has
not been scheduled against op-
ponents who do not have the three
year rule"
The Army. 1t was pointed out. is
one Of the very few major institu-
tions which does not observe the
freshman and the three-year eligi-
blity rule.

U. s. Official Says District Is
Earnest in Manner

Rye Beach n. H., June IS P'-
The future economic development
of New England industry depends
to a large degree upon the adoption
Of modern methods of selling. mer-
chandising and advertising, than
upon any other one factor, the New
England council was told today in
a report from its committee on
merchandising and advertising.
1t heard itself praised by DR..
Frank NJ. Surface, chief Of the do
nestle commerce division Of the
United States department of COM
mcrce. who declared that no other
section Of the country was tackling
its problems and seeking to over
come handicaps in the same earn
est and determined manner.
Industrial Research
1t also learned that of 1000 rep
resentative manufacturers inter-
viewed by its research committee.
only 300 conducted industrial re-
search in any form.
1t was announced that a group
of commercial and research agen-
cies had been formed TO cooperate
in stimulating a program Of fact
finding as a basis for constructive
action.
The committee on advertising
found, in examining New England
industries from a group standpoint.
that many popular conceptions had
no basis in fact. Despite the ten
dency to speak of New England in
terms Of one or two of its out
standing industries, there was ac-
tually great Investigation of indus
try. Yet many of its communities.
the report pointed out, were faced
with the predominating influence
of single industry.
False Sense of Security
AS another instance. the survey
showed far too many New England
industries imbued with a false
sense Of security" and failing to
realize the economic changes that
have taken place. A third was
weakness in selling and mer-
chandising among far too many OF
our manufacturers
In his address. DR.. Surface said
I'VE hear a great deal about over
production these days. Now there
are two ways to get rid Of so-called

the output and the other to dis

COOK APPEAL MUST
GO TO HIGH court
Five Year Parole Not Legally
Given, It Is Found

New Orleans, June Is Up DR..
Frederick A. Cook, oxplorer and oil
promoter. must look to the supreme
court or the United States parole
board for his release from Leaven-
worth prison owing to decision
handed down hcr5 in fifth United
States court of appeals. The decis-
ion said, in effect, that Federal Judge
Wilson at 'ort Worth was wrong
when he orlered the release of DR..
Cook on a five year probation period
and at the probation act of 1925
does not affect the existing statutes
regarding the release of prisoners.
The probation act cannot proper
ly be given the effect of changing
the law which was in existence at
the time it was passed except so as
the language used discloses an in
tention t make change" the opin-
ion said. THE law then in exist
cnce includes the rule that a court
cannot set aside nor alter Its final
Judgment after expiration of the
ttIll Ut " HUI IL WIS tHlSTeu, uU-
less the proceeding for that purpose
was begun during the term. or the
courts control of the case be retain
cd in So. authorized way. To sus-
tain Judge Wilson's order. the opin-
ion added, would amount to setting
at naught the parole and commute
ton statutes, they would be of
no force save where a trial judge
elected to let them remain in force.
The opinion is expected to straight
en- out a tangle created by number
of applications for release under the
probation act filed in various parts
of the country since the Cook appli-
cation was filed.
DR.. Cook was convicted on fraud
charges in November 1923. and sem
fenced to Il years in prison and to
pay fine Of $4,000.
