...former success of the Leiter Cup series leaves little doubt as to the support it will receive this year. One consideration, however, has arisen since the last series: graduate and Law School students are no longer eligible for University teams. Here is a favorable opportunity for them to take part in athletics without much preparation, and we feel sure that they will welcome...
...Faculty and athletic committee insist upon abolishing winter intercollegiate sports, no doubt for the first year an attempt will be made at intracollegiate sport; but such a form of competition has never been a distinct success, for the reason that such victories that might be gained are never satisfying to the healthy-minded undergraduate.

We are inclined to doubt the extent of injury that the rule has done, but here certainly is a specific instance of its harmful possibilities. Our contributor is right in stating that a man's record in his studies, and not his athletic record, should determine his eligibility to compete in any contest...
