Page Four Referee’s Decision In Mat Bouts Under Trial—Dr. Clapp Although admitting that "the remarkable improvement in the quulity of wrestling shown during 1938 was due largely to the elimination of time piece decisions,” Dr. R. G. Clapp of Nebraska, chairman of the National Collegiate Athletic Association wrestling rules committee, said that the present rule calling for referee decisions has not yet been thoroughly tested. The chief objection raised last year against the time-advantage decis ions was that the -wrestler who had the time with him would stall, mak ing the bout dull and boring. Under the 1938 rules, wrestlers had no clock to guide them. and the committee thus hoped to eliminate stalling. The East-is 100 per cent in favor of retaining the 1938 rules governing decisions while the Oklahoma teams of the Middle Valley League, led by the national champion team, Okla homa A & M, are strongly opposed to this plan, advocating in its place a point system as adopted by the Big Ten. The point system, as used by the IBig Ten, decides matches not ending in a fall by adding figures to the wrestlers as they maneuovre on the mat. Points are awarded the grnp pler as he successfully executes re verses, take downs, near falls, es- I.F.C. Adopts Revised System For Rushing (Continued From Page One) •fraternities may sign them Tuesday. On Wednesday the regular date pe riods begin and continue for the rest of the week. Under the new code there are three dates a day, a break fast date from ? a. m. to 10 a. m., a luncheon date from 11 a. m. to 4 p. m. t and a dinner date from 5 p. m. to 10 p. m. Open Rubbing Begins Earlier On Sunday, September 18,: there will be a second open house, followed by a silent period which ends'.when pledging begins at 6 p. m. Monday afternoon. Fraternities may not contact fresh men outside the house until 8 o’clock Monday night, when open rushing be gins for the vest of the school year. Under the old code, fraternities had to wait 30 days before they began open rushing. Enforcement Committee Established The code provides for an enforce ment committee consisting of three, faculty men belonging to fraternities which do not have chapters here. They shall investigate violations re ported to them, and v also -Investigate on their own initiative from time to time. Each committee member shall be paid an amount not exceeding $15.00 from the Interfraternity treasury for his services. . ‘Upon finding a fraternity’ guilty of any violation, the’* committee is obliged to impose a mandatory pen alty on the house. The penalty is the postponement of the pledging of freshmen by one day, with the silent period ending* at that time instead of on Monday. ' The committee which' drew up the code consists of Moore, Clifford L. Cramer '3B, .Raymond S. Coskcry ’3O; Howard S. Pennypacker ’38,-Victor C. Saiidhani, Jr. ’39, Lewis W. ?Shol- Icnberger -’3O, and Charles' Hv-Toller ’3B. ; . . capes, etc. “If the point system, after addi tional experiment, can serve as a fur ther aid to prevent stalling and in crease action and spectator interest, il believe it will be seriously consid ered by th erules committee,” Dr. Clapp said. The only major diversion in tiic 1939 rules is the abolishing, of the 118-pound class for the 121-pound class; iSubscquently, to maintain the difference. between weights, the .126 class was' moved up to' 128-pounds and the 135-pound class was put up one pound. The other weights will remain the same. (Because there are but few college boys who naturally weigh 118-pounds, the rules committee felt it necessary to raise the lower weight class to “protect the health of the college wrestler/’ They also '-recommended that “weight reduction shall be strictly hands of-the college physician and that a periodical medical exam ination shall be made during the sea son and particularly before a •■meet.” Bus-Hike Trip Planned To Resettlement Lot A :bus has been obtained for the bus-hike planned to the College Re settlement 'Area Sunday -afternoon, Ray iConger announced today., The bus transporting the hikers to the hike area will leave College ave nue and Frazier street at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Peel, Student Board Battle At Meetings (Continued From Page One) PoelCharges Coercion Peel charged that Student Board was composed chiefly of men who were interested in a Campus victory and that the delay in inquiring into his reasons'for the late appointment were planned to embarrass him at a critical time!'* iPcel claimed that the situation arising from the cutting of the comp list last spring should have been brought to his attention sooner. The Board, on the other hand, cit ed the situation as one unusual and unique in college history and one that created the use of an unfair political practice. John D. Kcnnon, chairman of the Board, said, “I don’t care who wins the election, but I am interested in eliminating''unfair advantages.” Campus, whose candidate is Stan Brown, was,.represented in the dis cussion hy~Ray Coskcry, a junior. Two tongue-lashing sessions were ■held, the second of which Peel, a member, did not attend. It was at this meeting that the Board drafted its statement.
