Freshmen Rule May Be Changed In Conference
Denver December 17 There will be no one year rule in force in the Tri-State Intercollegiate Athletic Conference during the season of 1918 as colleges propose to remove the restriction for the war emergency. War department blanks request complete information on every football squad player for aviation service. Many athletes plan to enlist, and some will come under draft provisions. If the one year rule remains, it will be impossible to field foot ball squads in the third division. The conference may suspend the rule for wartime, with no new varsity freshmen playing, while veterans are scarce. The decision will affect athletic competition and college sports policy during the war period.
