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 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 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
and 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.
