FRESHMEN TO BE INELIGIBLE

The Athletic Council on May 22 voted to adopt a rule barring Freshmen from varsity teams. The rule will be incorporated in the constitution of the Council and will be strictly enforced. The word Freshman will include all those who have not passed at least twenty-two hours during their first year's" residence here. No exception will be made to this except in the case of a man who on account of illness has not been able to take his examinations at the end of his freshman year. His case will be specially provided for.

Committees were appointed by the Council to look into the working of the rule and the interpretation of it at other institutions with a view to putting it on the best and most salutary working basis. Incidental to the adoption of the rule, also, it was determined to provide for more careful supervision and training of the freshman teams in all branches of athletics, in order that some of the more drastic effects of the rule might be offset. For this purpose special coaches will probably be provided.
