THE TWO-SPORT RULE.

In another column this morning we publish the protest of a Senior against the so-called two-sport rule, which, it is claimed, seriously handicapped the swimming team in its recent meet with Yale. Without the services of an experienced swimmer, who had played football during the fall and wished to take part in the more important contests of the spring, the team was undoubtedly at a considerable disadvantage. 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 at any time of year.
