...change which was made in the rules of the Inter-Collegiate Foot-Ball Association on Saturday, by a majority vote of the members of the league, is the most important move that has been made in relation to foot-ball for years. Its object is of course to leave no ground for the breaking of the rules in regard to the eligibility of players to positions on the teams of the various universities and colleges.

This system, however, was prohibited by the Inter-state Commerce Act. The framers of this act showed no conception of the relation of railroad practices. They forbade reductions and then proceeded to forbid also the pooling system, which was the only thing that had shown itself capable of putting a stop to those reductions.
