Meeting of the Intercollegiate Football Association.

The advisory board of the Intercollegiate Football association met Monday at the request of Harvard to consider a protest against Wagenhurst of the Princeton eleven. As a result of the meeting two resolutions were passed which will clear up a number of troublesome points about those entitled to play in championship games. Following are the resolutions for which Harvard, Yale, and Wesleyan voted in favor, and Princeton against:

Resolved, That no one shall be eligible to take part as a player in any championship game of the association, who is not a bona fide student of the college on whose team he plays; matriculated for the then current year and pursuing a course which requires his attendance upon at least five lectures, or recitations, a week. In case a player's qualifications are questioned he shall furnish to the advisory committee a certificate signed by three members of the faculty, stating that he is a bona fide student; matriculated for the then current college year, and regularly pursuing a course which requires his attendance upon at least five lectures, or recitations, a week. And the player shall further furnish to the advisory committee an affidavit stating that he is a bona fide student, matriculated for the then current college year, and regularly pursing a course which requires his attendance upon at least five lectures, or recitations, a week, and that it is his attention to continue in said courses until the expiration of the then current college year.

Resolved, That to prevent any professionalism or professional spirit, in this association we hereby pass the following resolutions:

Resolved, That no professional athlete shall take part in any contest of the association, nor shall any college player or college be paid, or receive, directly or indirectly, any money, or financial concession, or emolument as a present, or as past compensation for, or as a prior consideration or inducement to playing, whether the same be received for, or paid by, or at the instance of the Football association, Athletic committee, or faculty of such college or university, or any individual whatsoever. And any player who is specially challenged under this section by any member of the association in writing, shall, within five days after the filing of such challenge, file with the secretary of the association, an affidavit, duly verified under oath, showing that he is in no way violating the provisions of this section, and upon his failure to make and file such affidavit he shall be barred from participating in any contest of this association. And in case the sufficiency of such affidavit be questioned by the challenging party, and the committee of appeals be notified thereof, the player challenged shall submit on two days' notice, an oral examination by said challenging party before said committee, who shall then and thereafter decide regarding the eligibility of said challenged player to take part in the contests of the members of the association. The date of such examination shall not be set on the day, and not within forty-eight hours, of the championship match. No challenge or protest shall in any way effect a game which has been played previous to the filing and deciding of such challenge.

There is no mention of Wagenhurst in these resolutions, but if Harvard and Yale challenge him he will be disqualified. Holden and Leeds deserve the credit of being the prime movers of these resolutions for Harvard. The resolutions are in substance what the Athletic committee has been introducing here little by little, and which guided the freshman game last year between Harvard and Yale. As another proof that Harvard was at the bottom of them, Mr. Holden received a letter from Mr. Bolles certifying that the following men were of regular standing:

Johnson, L. S., Johnson, '93, Stickney, Crosby, Moen, Dean, Darling, P. D. Trafford, Fearing, Hallowell, Lee, Campbell, Vail, Pulsifer, Fitzhugh, Greenough, Hutchinson, Goldthwaite, Tilton, Blanchard, Cumnock, Hill, Saxe, Upton, Cranston, B. W. Trafford.

Although none of our men have been challenged, it is reported indirectly that Yale has challenged Wagenhurst.
