: No eredit bg given the athlete for parti ol patine in daily two hour practice drills
on the football field, or for playing in a regularly scheduled contest. But if he ‘
should go down town and play any competitive game with an outside tean, even without
remuneration, he would automatically become ineligible. If the wihies should
referee an intramural game of any kind for the seme amount éP sionee that the singer
receives for his one hour's work, the athlete immediately becomes a professional

It is thinkable that you could take athletic coaching by correspondence and maybe |
- you could get.a job at some fine school, but it is improbable. By earning a varsity
letter you: feel that you have filled one of the laboratory requirementse If you
desired to teach history or chemistry, you could carry the minimum the school re-
quired and you could take as long as you desired to complete the coursee But if you
care to participate in intercollegiate athletics you must possess 28 hours of academic
credit the two piecstes semesters before you can paher the game laboratory of ath-

A recent survey was. conducted in one of our co-educational mid-western universities
to determine what porecutese of the male student body was eligible for athletic compe=
tition under the present ruling of 28 hours of passing work the two preceding semesterse
The findings were interesting. Out of a total.enrollment of 2700 men students, 1240
were ere and 1460 were ineligibles a little less than 467, eligible for athletic
participation bectropehad, had the Soi iity and desire for varsity athletic competitione
Undeniably it is unjust to we athlete ao Renal attention upon ‘the undesirable

reflection that he brings upon his school, when his Slass grades render him ineligible

for intercollegiate competition.
