CORNELL'S NEW RULING Students Must Secure Faculty Permis- sion to Participate in Sports Other Than College Games. Tthaca, Dec. 26,—In an official effort to curb the evil of summer baseball, Cornell has made a radical change in the eligibility rules for the coming year. Under the hew rule, which goes into effect on January 1, | permission from the university faculty, committee on student affairs is re- quired before a student may play in haseball contest at which admis- sion is charged to the field or stand, except as a member of the college team. A violation of this will be taken as prima facie evidence that remunera- tion was received, and the student be- comes ineligible to represent the uni- versity. If, however, a sufficient reason for failure to obtain the re- quired permission is presented the committee on student affairs student’s elegibility may be restored, The rules governing freshmen have also been made to conform to this principle. s SEEK MORE ENOWLEDGE.
