The "Summer Base Ball" Question A recent issue of "The Daily Princetonian" comments favorably upon the suggestion to make "sum mer ball" players eligible for mem bership on the 'Varsity nine, and the College publication of the Uni versity of Virginia, along with many others, has fallen in line with this most sensible idea. "The Daily Princetonian" editorial in entirety is as follows : "The new baseball ruling which is proposed at Cornell, whereby members of the 'Varsity team are allowed to play summer baseball for compensation, except with a major league team, or with a New York State league team, although a radical step, is one which is well worthy of the consideration of the Athletic Ad visory Committees of other universi ties. From this, we are led to infer that the playing with a hotel or with any other semi-professional team is legitimate at Cornell. In considera tion of the fact that in conjunction with this new rule, other rules were propcised, the substance of which is almost identical with that of those passed by Princeton, Yale and Har vard a short time ago, it appears to us that Cornell has taken a brave step in the right direction. "Another rule states that a man, in order to be eligible for the team must not in the past have received compensation directly or indirectly as a member of a professional team. The injuries which professional base ball playing does to the average col lege athletes are too numerous to need discussion. The new eligibility code only allows a college athlete three years in which to be a mem ber of the team of his respective college, thus doing away not only with commercialism but also with the possibi ity of a man's entering college for the sole purpose of com peting in athletics. _ "As a result of this new code, THE STATE COLLEGIAN the possibility of even having candi dates for teams, who have at any time played for compensation is re duced to a minimum, and in addi tion to this, the rigid scholastic re quirements which are now necessary for competition in athletics at Prince ton, gives us every reason to believe that this new rule should receive a great deal of attention here. We do not wish to assert ourselves as being in favor of this new ruling, but we do believe that it is a system wor thy of the careful consideration and investigation of the Committee on Outdoor Sports."
