REGULATIONS OF FACULTY COMMITTEE ON ATHLETICS.

1. "Training Tables" for football, baseball and track teams are hereby abolished.

2. No student of this university shall be eligible for any athletic team who shall
have played upon, or been a member or substitute member of any of the professional
or league teams named in Classes A, B, C, and D, in the publication of the American
Sports Company.

To the list of professional teams thus prescribed shall be added all league teams
in any state or states, which the leading university of such state or states declares
professional and from which it debars its own players.

3. The term "college" as used in the Faculty Regulations concerning athletics
is hereby interpreted to mean any college named in Table 28 of the Report of the
U. S. Commissioner of Education of 1902, which has not less than 150 male students
of at least collegiate grade recorded in the catalogue of the institution in question
as students of the session preceding the applicant's entrance into this University.

In case such faculty fails to distinguish between students of collegiate and preparatory
grade, the president of the college concerned shall be requested to render
or to authorize an official decision of the members belonging to each head.

4. The term "substitute" is interpreted to mean a student who has taken part in
an intercollegiate contest.

5. The term "general conformity," as used in the faculty regulations, is interpreted
by the faculty to mean conformity in regard to period of residence, maximum period
of eligibility and amateur standing.

6. The maximum period of eligibility for baseball and football shall be four years.
In estimating the period of eligibility the years of baseball and football shall both
be taken into account; but in no case shall a player be charged with four years'
athletic work, unless at least four calendar years have elapsed from the time he
entered upon his first intercollegiate contest, omitting from the calculation any sessional
intermission by non-attendance.

In case the player does not participate in either baseball or football during a college
session, such session shall not be counted, but if such player does play on either
the baseball or the football team during any intermediate session, this shall count
as if the player had played on both teams during such session.

College Topics is a semi-weekly newspaper, published under the
auspices of the General Athletic Association, devoted to the interests
of athletics and the university at large.
