Former President of Intercollegiate Association Says
Present Rules Can Be Interpreted to Fit Any
Case Urges Elimination of Distinction
By MURDOCK KENDRICK

A Interested In tlio Administration ot
the nfTnlrs of tho IntcrcolIoRlnto Ath
letic Association of Amnteurs of America,
ml of some experience In tho manage

newspaper reports In regard to the ollnl
blllty rule discussed recently.

tho facts connected with ench particular
case arc aired In the newspapers, and tho
final decision as to tho eligibility of tho
particular Individual Is not made by tho
authorities of his own colleco or univer
sity, but by the action or Inaction In the
form of a protest by tho authorities who
control tnc rival iram,
Theso annual discussions have not led
to any better definition of tho rules or
any solution of 'the dlfllcuttles, nnd It
stems to mo that tho present abused cll
nlblllty rules show n lack on tho part of
tho?o Interested In tnklnff a sulllcleiitly
broad view of the nuostions Involved.
HULKH AIU2 AIKSUIII).
That somo solution should he found Is
cltnrly shown by the absurdity to which
Interpretation of the present rules niny
lead. Thli Is shown by the recent Trln-Ky-Brlckloy
case. I have received n, let
ter from one of the most prominent olll
clals in the I C A. A. A. A. and In tho
A. A, V., which contains the following:
There Is but llttlo doubt that the
fellow members of llrlcklcy on the
Trinity football team knew that he
was an out-and-out professional, and,
therefore, when they competed with
him, they themselves became profes
sionals. Trinity very pertinently
asked tho question, "What would havu
happened to the Columbia football
ttam If they had competed nualnst the
Trinity players other than llrlcklcy?"
Any rules which permit nny doubt as
to the answer to this last question cer
tainly need review and revision.
The principal dinieulty In the legislation
and tho Interpretation of tho rules arises
from a vniruo understanding of the pur
pose of such nthlctlcfl.
Intcrcolleslate athletic contests arc not
now conducted so as to lcpresent tho
average athletic strength of the various
educatlonul Institutions. They nro con
ducted for the purpose of developing a
certain definite number of higher spcrlul
Ite'd nthlctcH In the various spoils, which
athletes represent a very small proportion
of the total number of students.
dkvi:loi' stau atiimstim.
It Is not expected that every under
graduate should participate In every sport.
If the average athletic ability of oaui
Institution were to be ascertained, then
It different football teams of Pennsylva
nia should play against 10 different foot
ball teami of C'ornrll; or 15 different base
ball teams of "inlc uhould play against
15 different baseball teams of Harvard,
and the college which has tho greatest
number of victorious teams would bo rcc
ognlicd as tho winner in the particular
branch of sport.
We fall to remember that the purposo
ti to obtain athletes who represent edu
cational Institutions, Wc hate been too
anxious to protect and Insist upon the
amateur standing of the athlete und have
forgotten that the principal purposo of
the Institution Is to spread education.
For this renson wo.huve, therefore, en
deavored to adopt certain distinctions be
tween professionals and nmatcurs which
have no logical basis. That distinction
Was originally based on two grounds:
First The professional, devoting his
tntiro time to athletics, could nuccs-
jarlly more readily and easily become
more prollcleut in the sport; nnd,
( Second Tho social reason that nn
amateur was a higher typo of ath
lete and assumed a higher social tono
than the professional.
This first distinction docs not npply to
college athletes, for the reason that tho
professional 1h compelled to pass his ex
aminations In his scholastic work, which
mutt require as much, nnd probably
more, of his time to acquire, his scholar
thlp, and ho has only a limited amount
of time to give to sport,
"OENTLEMKN" Aim AMATEURS.
The second distinction Is largely his
torical. It is Indicated by the rule that
exijted In Knglnnd that only "gentlemen"
were amateurs, and thoso who were en
caged In any vocation for a livelihood
were Ineligible for amateur contests.
Subsequently, tho rule was broadened,
and I rccatl that within recent years tho
tliglblllty of the Philadelphia crow to
compete in an international regatta de
pended upon whether or not tome of the
members were engaged In manual labor
for a livelihood.
And now, apparently In England, the
only distinction between an amateur and
a professional In cricket games is whether
or not "Mr." shall bo placed before tho
name in the reports of the games.
We. know now that this social distinc
tion Is of no practical effect In this coun
try. Wo have had professional hall play
rs elected to the highest position In tho
State. Men like George Woodruff, of
Pennsylvania', Houghton, of Harvard;
Bharpe, of Yale, and Brooks, of Hwarth-
-'"J v'tuuun in me.
IJke many others, I know of a mini
Mr of men who solely by reason of their
athletic ability were assisted In obtain
ing an education, and who huvo Blnce
n elected or appointed to positions of
respect und responsibility In public and
Private business.
The present rules have led to a rldlcu
loui distinction between amatours and
Professionals by referring to some as
"semlprofesslonals." There Is not now
and never has been any such class that
can bo termed "semlprofesslonals." Any

Adopted
Moro than 50 representatives of Phila

colleges of the Stale took tntt In a meet
ing nt Houston Club this moining to In
terpret the new basket!) ill rules adopted
by not only tho Intorcolligla.e Hitkctb.ill
League, but by the Y. M. C. A. nnd the
Amateur Athletic Union. The meeting
Iran called to order by Ralph Morgan, sec
retary and treasurer of tho Intercollegiato
Leaguo, who then Introduced Dr. J. II.
Hnycroft, director of tho Department of
Physical Hducntlon at Princeton.
Doctor Hnycroft permitted the dele
gates to ask riuestlons on nny part of
tho rules which were not clear, and
cither he or Mr. Morgnn answered nil
queries, Tho questions Involved explana
tions of tho wording nnd spirit of the
rules. They were explained verbnlly and
then demonstrations were given of points
wherever possible.
As n result of this meeting, Mr. Mor
gan agreed, on behalf of tho University
of Pennsylvania, to arrange for a prac
tico game in Wclghtmati Hnll soma time
In tho near future, with tho best of tho
Intercollegiate officials In charge to ex
plain nil rules. The plan is to have two
of the local school team play n practice
gamo and to Invito all players, managers
and coichcs who nro Interested to at
tend. The olllclals are to call fouls, and then
before Inlllctlng tho penalties, they wilt
explnlu to the players and spectators
what the foul was called for. This plan,
which was suggested by Fred Vail, of
tho Physical Department of the West
Philadelphia High School, met with much
enthusiasm.
Ono of the points cleared up was tho
meaning of tho rule prohibiting centres
from "cntuhlng" the hnll until It hud
been touched by nnothcr player. The
word "catch" was interpreted to mean
"touch." Centres, Doctor Hnycroft ex
plained, niny not ngnln touch the ball

Two games hold the Interest of tho
fans of tho Intercollegiate Soccer League
today. Penn I at home to tho Harvard
eleven, whllo Columbia plays Ynlo nt
Cambridge.
A finer muddle than thnt In the league
this yenr would be hard to find. For a
tlmo tho Princeton Tigers looked like tho
kings of tho organization, and Just when
her followers were certain of a sweep,
the whole structuro collapsed.
HtlRlblllty rules played havoc with tho
Jungle-town clan. As a result of tho loss
of thrco star forwards, the team was held
to a tie by Ynle, nnd badly defeated by
Hnverford. They came back In flno fnsh
Ion, however, and now enjoy a tlo for
nccond position with Hnverford and the
Ell.
When the protested gnme with Cornell
wns ordered replayed, tho Tigers bent the
IthacaiiR easily. Princeton's Inherent
strength Is no better shown than tho S
to 0 victory over Columbia. Up to this
defeat Columbia had seemed to bo tho
class of the league, but their pace slack
ened nlso. Tho Mornlngsldc Heights
plnyers beat Penn, last year'H champions,
nnd Harvard largely through the work of
tho Brooklyn Schnnholtz boys. When
Columbia visited Hnverford this week the
game wns thought to be all over but the
shouting. Hnverford sprang n surprise
by decisively defeating the Dluo nnd
White.

Noted English Critic Attacks
Allies' Diplomacy
Harold Williams, of the London Daily
Chronicle, states that the crisis in the Bal
kans demonstrates the necessity for a radical
change in the methods of diplomacy. He
contends that the first requisite is expert
knowledge, that thousands of lives are en
dangered because gentlemen sitting at ease
in cool embassy gardens consider it bad form
to mingle with the populace and learn the
rough realities of the land they live in. Read
