There already is a rule against
colleges paying for campus visits
until a boy has finished high
school competition. The coaches
thought even the allowable visit*
by boys through alumni or friends
of the school should also be dis-
couraged. '
All coaches, athletic directors
and business managers of athlet-
ics met today to draft more rec-
ommendations to the faculty com-
mittee. I
The committee meets this after-
loon and tonight. Here were
prospects its session might be con-

Saturday as in the past.'

At this time the member schools
do not abide by the 18-week lay-
