SUMMER BASEBALL

During the year summer baseball has again come to the front in some of the colleges and universities. Although the question has not become acute at Dartmouth, the Athletic Council took occasion at its June meeting .to reaffirm its position in the matter. The sections of the constitution which refer to summer baseball and which were reiterated at this meeting follow:

"No student who has played on any semi-professional or so-called summer baseball team shall be eligible until he has received special permission from the Athletic Council."

"No student shall be eligible .who, when called upon to do so, fails to establish his amateur standing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Athletic Council."

It will be seen from these regulations that whenever the Athletic Council feels that there is occasion to do so, lit may require a student to prove his amateur standing, thus putting the burden of proof on the defence rather than on the prosecution.
