...following is an abstract of the new regulations at Princeton concerning athletics. As will be seen, playing base-ball games with professionals is not directly prohibited; but, as only eight days of touring are allowed, and the time for games in Princeton even is limited, it will hardly be possible to keep up the old method of practice games with professionals: Lists of all foot-ball and base-ball teams allowed to play out of town shall be filed in the registrar's office; and each member must also file the written consent of his parent or guardian...
