SOCCER MEN PICKED FOR TEAM

At the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Soccer Association at Columbia University last Saturday, Pennsylvania fared the best in the selection of the all-American intercollegiate soccer eleven. Four of the Quakers were designated for the honor. Princeton placed three players on this imaginary team, Haverford got two and Yale and Harvard each one man. Cornell failed to have a member of her team named for the honor.

The eleven is picked according to the traditional system in intercollegiate soccer football. Each manager nominates from three to five men and the vote is then taken for the different positions. Hoskins of Princeton, who was selected for centre half, and Mohr of Pennsylvania, were also members of the 1915 all-American eleven.

N. D. McClure of Yale was elected president of the association for next year and N. M. Willard, the Cornell delegate, will be the new vice-president. Robert Barrie, Jr., of Haverford, is the secretary-treasurer elect as the result of Saturday's vote.

Status of Columbia Undecided.

After some discussion the status of Columbia University as a member of the league was left undecided. Because of the return of the American football game to Columbia during the last two years soccer football has been denied a practice field. In 1915 the season was completed, but last fall it was decided not to establish a team in the intercollegiate association. Columbia athletic authorities, however, hope for an improvement within a few years in athletic field resources, and S. C. Merrill, the manager, yesterday asked that permission be granted to Columbia to re-enter the association on an active basis whenever soccer football was re-adopted at Morningside Heights. This was voted.

Freshmen Barred from Teams.

A ruling was passed debarring freshmen from university elevens. The legislation, although expected to be instituted several years ago, has been deferred because of a strong opposition at the last two annual conventions of the league delegates and yesterday's measure means that soccer football is one of the last of the minor sports at the Eastern universities to fall in line for more standard eligibility regulations for university teams.

Tentative Schedule Adopted.

The league schedule for next year was adopted in tentative form, but will have to be approved by each university before it will be accepted as official. Six teams will again compose the league, excluding Columbia. They are Pennsylvania, Haverford, Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Cornell.

The following was announced as the official standing of the teams at the end of the season just passed:   Won  Lost  Drawn  Pts. Pennsylvania,  5  1  0  10 Princeton,  4  1  0  8 Haverford,  3  1  1  7 Harvard,  2  2  1  5 Yale,  1  4  0  2 Cornell,  0  5  0  0
