Wednesday, October 1, 1913 The progressive The One and expansive policies Year Rule encouraged in this col lege for the last de cade, have been especially signific- ant, not only for their intensity, but also for the far reaching effects they have had throughout the state. Hand in hand with the maturing of the institution, our athletics have made rapid strides forward--so rapid, in fact, that to day, in an athletic capacity, we are not in the same - class - with some of our former rivals. In order to make effects of growth and pro gress lasting, however, they must have the proper reception, and per fect environment. What would appear to be more necessary, as an athletic stimulus, than the One Year Rule, which the sister institu tions in our class have already fostered for an appreciable time ? The One Year Rule generally provides:—that all students enter ing an institution shall have at- tained a one year's residence in the same, before they shall be deemed eilgible to play on varsity teams. This bars all freshmen, and all new men from playing on varsity teams for the period of one year. The fact that such institutions as Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Prince ton, Columbia, Pennsylvania, and most of the larger institutions have seen fit to uphold this law, probably speaks, more in its favor than any thing else. The present athletic status of our institution warrants and practically demands,that this rule be adopted— not to go into effect immediately, for that would be too sudden, but to be enforced from the fall of 1914 on. It has been asserted by people who know, that the failure of Penn State to obtain more games with universities and colleges of her class, and to obtain recognition on Camp's All American Team, was due to a great extent, to the absence of the One Year Rule. The ques- tion arises in consequence:—ls it not worth while to enhance our athletic prospects and to better our athletic status by passing such a measure ? Some of the benefits to be deriv ed from such a rule are as fol lows: Criticisms of unfair sportsman ship would be minimized. Games with prominent institu tions would be made more readily possible. A strong freshman team, prepar ing future varsity material, would result. Recognition on the All American Team would be much more likely. The morale of the teams would be strengthened. The reputation of our teams and of the institution would be strength ened. Men would have the opportunity of a one year's acclimation to both scholastic and athletic work. It might be asserted by an op ponent to the One Year Rule, that Penn State is not ready for it—that it has not always succeeded where tried, and that the strength of the teams would be impaired. In ans wer to those statements it might be said that, if we can beat such in stitutions as Cornell and Pennsyl vania, which have this rule, we at least should be ready for the same. The rule has met with failure only in small institutions where the material was very scarce. The strength of the team would not be affected, because the percentage of freshmen on varsity teams is small. At the same time the good men would have a chance to play for three years, or possibly four, after their required residence; those who would not stay longer than one year, are not desirable from an athletic standpoint. If this proposition is seriously considered, it will readily be ap parent that what we need in this institution is the rule which pro vides,f or a one year's residence to obtain eligibility for varsity teams, Last year progressive amendments were passed. Let us this year benefit our Alma Mater by passing the One Year Rule by a unanimous vote. Following the ex- The First ample set last year, Class Scrap the student council has postponed the pushball scrap until next Saturday, and doubtless at some future date will recommend to the student body that a change be made in the rules so that the scrap in the future, as this year, will take place on the third Saturday after the col lege opening instead of the second, as provided for at the present time. The great difficulty which always confronts the freshmen in the scraps is the fact that they are not well enough acquainted to recognize their classmates, and hence are often unable to successfully follow a plan of organized resistance to the experienced sophomores. An extra week of preparation will do much in remedying this difficulty, and the action of the council in postponing the conflict might well be made a permanent feature of the scrap rules.
