HOCKEY ASSOCIATION VOTES TO ADOPT NEW RULES

At a meeting of the Intercollegiate Hockey Association of America, held at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York, recently, it was unanimously voted to adopt the current rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association as the rules for the present hockey season. The proposal for adoption was reported upon favorably by the rules committee, with a few reservations, which were afterwards accepted by the Association.

This movement is an attempt to obtain uniform hockey rules throughout the country. The resolution adopted Sunday will be presented to the rest of the hockey leagues of America within the next two weeks, and will be put into practice without the reservations made by the Intercollegiate Council, if the other leagues refuse them.

The most important change that the new rules incur concerns the number of men allowed to participate in a given game. The rules of former years made no limit to the number allowed, but the new regulations definitely limit the teams to 12 men in a single game. G. H. Pasfield '28, Dartmouth representative at the council meeting, said, in commenting on the new rule, "It will place more stress on endurance and skill, and cn team training, rather than on numbers, as before."

The new rules also state definitely the penalties for various fouls, thus taking much responsibility from the referee. Nearly every contingency is explicitly covered by them, and they are in general much more specific and complete than the old rules.

The council voted to extend its membership if any other schools wish to join. The membership now consists of the following colleges and universities: Columbia, . Cornell, Dartmouth, Hamilton, Harvard, Princeton, Williams, and Yale.
