Meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Intercollegiate Football Association.

The graduate advisory committee of the intercollegiate football association met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, on Saturday evening. The following men were present: R. M. Hodge, of Princeton, chairman; W. S. Camp, of Yale; H. H. Beatty, of Wesleyan; and W. S. Harvey, of Pennsylvania. Harvard was not represented. The championship for 1888 was awarded to Yale without protest

Several rules were discussed, particularly the one giving the referee power to disqualify players for foul tackling or roughness. The term "unnecessary roughness" was interpreted as including jumping on a prostrate player with the knees. The cases of Cowan and Wurtemburg in the Yale-Princeton game were brought up and their disqualification was declared unnecessary as they did not break the rule so interpreted.

There will be a meeting of the committee in March to draw up a new set of rules which will be acted upon at the April convention of the association.
