ATHLETICS.
New and interesting features in college athletics are being constantly presented to the public. The latest novelty is the mile running contest with quarter mile relays, which Yale and Harvard participated in on last Saturday, Feb'y 11th, at the Boston Athletic Association. Each man covered a quarter of a mile, when he was replaced by a fresh runner. Yale sent her strongest runners, among whom were Butterworth, Frank Laughlin and Sanford—all athletes of note.
At a recent meeting, in New York City, of the Inter Collegiate foot ball teams of the East, the following resolution was passed:
"No member of a graduate department nor any special student shall be eligible, nor any undergraduate who has registered or attended lectures or recitations at any other University or college, nor any undergraduate who is not pursuing a course requiring for a degree an admittance of at least three years."
It is quite clear that the foregoing resolution has been aimed at the University of Pennsylvania, and quite naturally, and with good cause, the "Old Penn" students are quite indignant about the matter. With persevering energy the University of Pennsylvania has gradually worked itself to the front, and now, when capable of placing a team in the field able to defeat Princeton and put Yale on her mettle, Yale, Princeton and Wesleyan combine and pass a resolution which debars all but collegiate students from playing in the college eleven. Pennsylvania's collegiate department is comparatively small in number of students, and all but two of last year's team are from other than this department. While by this resolution, Yale loses but one of her players and Princeton and Wesleyan, even though they weaken their own teams, will do anything in order to revenge the defeats they last year suffered at the hands of Pennsylvania. The resolution was unjust and contemptible and if it becomes a law will practically shut Pennsylvania out of the Intercollegiate League.
