MANY FIRST
LARGE COLLEGES 'MAY REVERT
TO FORMER ELIGIBILITY RULE
, ON THE PLAYING OF FRESHMEN
Several Institutions, Including Pcnn, Harvard
and Yale, Have Declared Athletes May Now
Perform for Four Years
AUI8 tho larger colleges prcpniltig to go luck to tlio old system, Whlrli iiI1')Vh n

Jartfe institution nnd temaln there In tho past hnvo had only three years of varsity
Competition owing to tlio rulo that bars freshmen from plnlng 'in varsity team?.
Complications Over Freshmen Have Arisen
rpill'3 freshman rule has ruttied nl) sorts of cntnplletitiruis, and siualiblen iirno
! between largo institution which enforced tho rule and tho smaller college
Which refused to bar freshmen. The pittclleo of rcirtilttnff athletes from munllu'
IbollcROs was frowned, upon ly certain bin colleges, but since tho dose of tho ft
luill season certain things have occuired thnt prove conclusively that the id .
tolleges, alarmed nt the rupld growth of tithlnltr-i nt smaller Institutions, ate ihmi.
to stletch tltelr eligibility i ules and ovr-Hook lUUj formalities thnt wne ob en. i
In the past. I'enn, Harvard nnd Yulo nro thiee of the leading colleises vIm do
not Intend to handicap themselves because the freshman rule deprives them t
tho hcrvlrca of nthlettc stars who umiuestlonably mnlrlculated for the solo inirpos)
pf getting nn education, With uthlcttcs a secondary consideration.
Four Years for Players at Yale
f A FI..V days after tho Yale-Harvard football gnrne it was announced lh.it ipliun
"Dlnek, of tho Wis. would return to college for a post-graduato course, nttl the
Rthlotlc nutliorlties stated that ho would he ellalblo to play on the eleven, despite
tho fnet that ho Is n senior nnd plnycd football four years nt Yale, truiuuli
eenson was connnod to tho freshman tentn. Tho Yule authorities dci-land that
thcio is no rulo which prevents n man from playing varsity football for four y- -s
ns long ns he does not competo in his freshman enr. The nils contend thnt r
r man has attended coIIpro for one oar and has a scholastic runrk high enough
to keep liliu In tho good graces at tho faculty committee on athletics, he 1ms proved
thnt ho Is nt'. MteniUng collego for the solo nurpora of taking part in athletics.
Tramp nthiot.j wcro In tho first place responslblo for tho passing Of tho rulo
barring frcslir.cn ut tho largo institutions.
Folwcll Advocate of Freshman little
BOB KOI.AVKI.L, l'cnn'H head cuach, took tho same stand a few days later, when
I.ud "Winy, tlie brilliant center, said .that ho wnn d to take a postgrnduato
caurso nnd desired to know whether ho would bo eligible to play footbnll. Tho
faculty committee on athletics nt l'eun.took the same stand the Ells had taiten,
nnd Wrny will bo eligible to play next fall. It will be WrnyV fourth year of
varsity football; and the samo Is truo of Howard Bei ry. who played one.) ear at
Muhlenberg before entering I'enn nnd will liavo played three years Tor the Red
nnd Bluo when ho completes tho 1917 seuson. Wo were ejecting severe criticism
from sovernl sources, particularly Harvard, but, to the surprise of the collegiate
world, the nnnouncoment has been mndo that Jleanlx. tho famous Colby hurdler,
had been declared eligible for the Crimson truck team under similar conditions.
Harvard Caused Split With I'enn
A FEW years ngo Harvard bitterly assailed nil other colleges that allowed athletes
from another Institution to represent it in athletics; but it seems that times
have changed. It was Harvard's rigid athletic policy that really causod the split
between tho Crimson und Tcnn back In lOOS. The Crimson resented the fact that
Teim saw fit to ttso mon who had played nt other colleges, particularly Andy Smith,
who left Stuto Collego to como to Pcnn. Now thnt tho Crimson has decided that
Meunlx is eligible to compete for the track team. It is likely that squabbling over
eligibility technicalities Will bo eliminated. Incidentally, it might be well to add
that Mcunlx was picked for tho All-Amerlcnn trade team und is recognized us tho
most consistent huj'dler In the game, particularly liUO and 440 yards,
W "Ringers" in Colleges Are No More
HILK there Is llffto doubt that virtually every college fostering athletics makes
nn effort to induce scholastic stars to mutriculate. it Is generally believed that
tho dily of tlio "ringer" and tramp nthloto has passed. Tho broader view now taken
by some of tho leading colleges should Improve the caliber of the teams without
lowering tho eligibility slumlord. So long ns tho freshman rulo Is enforced and
there Is a faculty committee on athletics to keep close tubs on tho scholastic
standing of athletes, there Is no sense in preventing u man from playing for four
years, providing ho takes a postgrnduato courso culling for a satisfactory amount
of scholastic woik.
Doubt Concerning Lcs Darcy's Ability
Bon 13DOI1EN, of the New York World. Is beginning to wonder whether Darcy
boat McOoorty and Clubby because of his own ability or tho lack of condition
nnd slowing down of the American mlddloweights. Otheis are doing the same
hlng since leading u tetter from tin AUstmHan promoter t- an American boxer.
In this letter the promoter says tbit Mclloorty and Clubby have retired from the
ring becnuso they find It Impossible to tiln or get hack in condition. If McOoorty
nnd Ciabby have como to this conclusion so soon ufter meeting Darcy. perhaps they
wcro In 'lie husbecn class when the Australian beat them. Surely It Is not reason
able to Mpposo thai McOoorty und Ciabby collapsed ufter their bout with Durcy.
partlcu"y ns Clubby was nut punished severely und was only shaded In twenty
rounds. ,
Australian lias No Right to Choose Opponents
ACCORDING to Darcy's press agents, the Australian lias Issued un open challenge
XX to Al McCoy, recognized champion of the world by virtuo of Ills knockout
victory- ovor Chip, which Is sold to liavo bcon due to n lu kv punch. Wo might ask
what right Darcy bus to pick his own opponents before lie bus convinced tho
American public thut ho Is a real champion. Also, why lie Is entitled to a chance
nt the world's championship tltlo. held by an American, before hu bus fought und
defeated somo of tho lending American boxers Boxing experts nie unanimous
In the opinion thut McCoy won tho cliampioiwhlp cm a iluko, but nt the same time
be has the title, and Americans doBlrlng a chance at tho tltlo are compelled to go
through fie field with flying colors beforo tlioy nro even considered.
Jennings Trying to Strengthen Pitching SlafT
HUGllHY JBNNINUS.Is making a strenuous ofTort to stienglheu his pitching
(.tnlT for the 1S17 rucu. Tho Detroit mnnugor realizes thut his veteran team.
With the wonderful Cobb lending Its unusual, attutk, Is not going to last forever, and
lie wants to win one moro championship beforo the machine begins to go buck.
Jennings has had an offeni-o ttrong enough to have won tho pennunt for the last
two seasons, but poor pitching eliminated tlio Tlgeis. Many baseball osperts aro
of the opinion that Jennings does not Jmndlo his pitchers proporly or ho would win
the pennant with ease. It Is true , that Jonntngs nevor lias . developed u high
class twirier. In the days when the Tigers wore winning pennunu Jennings lmd
r sUff of veterans who were stars before lolnlng the Tigers. Hince thut time
nilnor league sensations have gone to pieces after pitching for tho Tigers fqr a
tune. None of the reorulU has Improved as one would expect with tlio benefit of
major league coaching. Jennings will take fifteen pitchers to tcie sprtug training
CttflJP.
IT IS rumored that "Dutch" Sommer, former Penii star and one of tha most sue.
oeful coaches in tha Bast, is being serioufcly considered by I,afnyetto. It is no
sure thin" l'18 n"! Crowell will not handle the scmad again, but rumor lias It tlwt
thetflrmer Swarthmwa star will confine all his time to the post of athletic director
Mul that a new coach will be named. It was said that By Dickson had Iwn
seJutfeil-to succeed Crowell; but it Is known that Sommer lias an excellent ohnnce
to 18,111 the position, providing he does not return to the Michigan Aggleu,

.Jasper in Korm
The Jasper team last nlRht was in ex

veteran Harry Hough was still out of tho
Ruiae. McflrcKor, who toolc Ills place, did
fairly well Individually and played ns well
as could lie desired with his teammates
Tho Individual honors of tlTb evening went
to little Harney Sedran, who lllttcd around
the small race la due uhniio, dodginc bli;
Freddie Oelir atid the other Tienton players
with ridiculous ease.
Just after the beginning of tha keennd

enmiilelels in the air by Its speedy, ho-
wiluetliig passes and Its fast dribbling.
Kjjr fnllv live minutes tlio Trenton men did

ITU tho advent of I.es Darcy In Amer
ica it was predicted that tlio boxing
g.uno in thla country would tako on a new
nnd livelier aspect. It has been nlmoat
unanimously udmittcd that 1910 virtually
was a "dead" season puglllsticnlly. While
stoiics to this effect aro being published
in papers in tho I'nlted States, Australian
journals possess columns of matter Btatlng
tho samo tiling will occur In the Antipodes
because of Darcy's dcpartuio. Darcy,
tho novvepapers tay, "killed tho gamo" in
Australlu; that is, ho was tho only boxer
who would draw, und matches composed
of other boxers "fell flat." So it, is ap
parent that both Australia and America
will benefit by Darcy's clandestine de
parture from tho kangaroo country.
