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

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.”

Tennis Candidates
Report Today
Freshman and varsity tennis
candidates report to the
varsity courts -at 4 o'clock this
afternoon,.' Manager Robert C.
Brown *3B announced today.
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.
Pec] Issues Reply -
Peel, in a special statement to the
Collegian, answered -the Board’s ac
tion with the following statement:
“The interference of Student
Board into the policies offthe Junior
Class is anTunwarranted political as
sault designed by the Campus Clique
to start ofTJts dirty campaigning.
“To date, I have been criticized for
designing a Junior Blazer that they
say is profit-making in its inception.
The Bookstore originated and push
ed ahead by hard-working, pioneer
ing Independents lias been vigorously
attacked.
“Prejudiced fraternity men are co
ercing their houses into a fraternity
versus nonpaternity showdown. We
have the v ideals that bespeak a co-op
erative student government; but ever
since I went into office I have had to
fight a powerful clique that has been
built on rash promises, unfair tac
tics, and -prejudiced motives. , /
• “I stand.as Junior Class -President
on a record T-that -I. ihvite'any oppof
nont to challenge within the limits',
of honest and constructive criticism..
The Independents have many liberal
minded fraternity .men working with
them; we have pledged ourselves,to a
representative and efficient student
government and we will stand by
that pledge.'
“Win or lose, the Independents will
never give up. In the years to come
the non-fraternity group will be a
vapidly , growing majority—and I
know, that "unless this silly prejudice
of fraterujty versus non-fraternity
