At a conference of representatives from the athletic committees of the principal American universities, held at Brown College on February 18, 1898, a sub-committee was appointed to investigate and report on general intercollegiate competion. This committee was composed of representatives from Brown, California, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Harvard. The report recently made states that at present athletics receive a disproportionate amount of attention in many universities. Summer practice is regarded with disfavor and it is suggested that it would be better to give up the two weeks preparatory practice before the regular opening of the colleges. Any communication with athletes in the preparatory schools is condemned and it is further stated that gate-money receipts should be reduced to the lowest possible minimum by intercollegiate agreement.
Accompanying the report are a set of rules, intended to shut out professionalism in any way, if possible, from intercollegiate sport. Most of the rules are already in force in the majority of the American colleges, and the committee aims to have them soon adopted by the remainder.
