JlJN-3 1916 -^ ^/ CONFERENCE CODE Historical Note q^HE INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE grew out -^ of a meeting of the presidents of seven universities of the Middle West, held in Chicago, on January 11, 1895, for the purpose of considering the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. The first meeting of the present Conference was held on February 8, 1896. At the time of its organization, it was composed of seven members, as follows : The University of Chicago. The University of Illinois. The University of Michigan. The University of Minnesota. Northwestern University. Purdue University. The University of Wisconsin. On December 1, 1899, the University of Indiana and the University of Iowa were admitted to membership. On January 14, 1900, the University of Michigan withdrew from the Conference. Ohio State University was admitted to membership in 1912. CONFERENCE CODE Method of Procedure npHE CONFERENCE has no written constitution, but is -■■ governed by precedent and by various rules and resolu- tions passed from time to time. The annual meeting is held in Chicago early in December, and other meetings are held as necessity arises. Each insti- tution is entitled to one representative and to one vote. All micetings of the Conference are held in executive session. A majorit}^ vote of the representatives is sufficient to pass any measure, but all Conference legislation must be sub- mitted to the faculties of the constituent mem.bers for ap- proval. If one or more of the faculties rejects any measure within sixty *days from the date the report of said measure, is mailed to said member by the Secretary of the Con- ference, that measure must; be reconsidered at the next meeting of the Conference".' -If, at such subsequent meeting, the measure passes by a h-Vajority vote of the Conference, it then becomes a Conference rule, non-observance of which results in suspension.

It shall then be the duty of the Athletic Committee of such institution to investigate at once the status of the matter at issue and report, through its chair- man, the results of its investigation to the Athletic Com- mittee of the complaining institution. If this finding is not satisfactory to the committee making the complaint, an appeal may be had to the Conference Committee on Eligi- bility. 2. In determining the amateur standing of any student, athletic boards and faculty committees are not restricted to the consideration of positive evidence, but are at liberty to consider the circumstances of the case and common report as a basis of action. The Conference, at any annual meeting, for good cause may reinstate any student who has been declared ineligible. 3. The chairman of any Athletic Committee may bring before the Conference any charges of irregularity against the athletic committee of any other institution, and a full investigation in which both institutions are represented shall be made by the Conference, and the finding shall then be reported to the faculties of each institution concerned. 4. It is the sentiment of the Conference that information submitted under the rules governing Faculty Athletic Com- mittees and Boards of Control should be as conclusive as 10 CONFERENCE CODE possible, should be submitted at the earliest date practicable, and the institution concerned should have three weeks* time in which to make its investigation and report its decision. 5. Prior to the opening of the season of each sport, each chairman of a Board of Control shall mail to every other chairman a list of all the candidates for the respec- tive teams. This list shall be as complete as possible, and shall give the full name, residence, class and course of study of each candidate, as well as the number of years of par- ticipation in athletics. Such lists shall be made out on blank forms approved by the Conference and furnished by its sec- retary. In cases of migrant athletes, the institutions from which they came shall be designated. 6.

No concessions which are under the control of the athletic authorities shall be awarded to students.

Examination Periods. — "Resolved, That we recommend that all intercollegiate dual contests, and all Conference meets, if practicable, be scheduled upon such dates as will not conflict with the schedule of examination periods in that of competing Conference institutions."

These officials shall be responsible for commencing their respective events and for their continuance without unneces- sary delays. They shall excuse a contestant from a field event in which he is taking part for a period long enough to contest in a track event, and allow said contestant to take his missed turn or turns in said field event within a reasonable time after the track event. They shall see that reasonable opportunities are given to contestants who desire to try in two field events that are being contested at the same time. To the end that there be no unnecessary delay, each competitor shall take his trial or turn when called upon to so do by the field judge having charge of the contest; and if, in the opinion of such field judge, the competitor unreasonably delays to do so, such judge may, in his discretion, forfeit such trial and have the same tallied against the competitor as one miss or failure. The field judges shall see that no weight is used in any of the weight competitions which has not been approved as conforming to the rules. VII. Timekeepers. — There shall be three timekeepers for each track event. In case two watches agree, and the third disagrees, the time marked by the two shall be the official time.

The names of the men composing the winning relay teams shall also be noted. He shall notify the starter before the beginning of the last lap in each distance race, at which time a signal by bell or pistol shot shall be given the competitors. The assistants shall do such portions of his work as he may assign to them. X. Starter. — The starter shall have entire control of the competitors at the marks, except as above provided for in the duties of the clerk of the course, and shall be the sole judge of fact as to whether or not any man has gone over his mark. He shall be responsible for starting the track events promptly after the men have been given their positions by the clerk of the course. He shall also be responsible for any unnecessary delay in the continuance of said events. He CONFER ENCE CODE 31 shall give a signal by pistol shot or bell at the beginning of the last lap in each distance race. XI. Competitors. — Immediately on arriving at the grounds each competitor shall report to the clerk of the course and obtain his number for the event in w^hich he is entered.

All races on a circular track shall be run with the left hand toward the inside of the track. XVIII. Change of Course. — In all races other than on a straight track, a competitor may change toward the inside whenever he is two strides ahead of the man whose path he crosses, with the exception that, after rounding the last turn into the straightaway before reaching the finish, the competitor must keep a straight course to the finish line and not cross either to the outside or to the inside in front of any of his opponents, if in so doing he interferes with any of them. XIX. Fouling. — An}' competitor may be disqualified by the referee for jostling, running across, or in any way im- peding another and all the competitors representing a team in any one event may be disqualified by the referee by the act of any one of such competitors in jostling, running across or in any way impeding another. CONFERENCE CODE S3 Any runner in the mile or two mile runs who has been lapped by a competitor may be disqualified by the referee should his presence interfere in any way with the conduct of the race, provided, however, that this rule shall not be enforced w^hen the result would be to leave less than six runners in the race. The referee shall disqualify from further participation in the meet and report to the Com- mittee any contestant competing solely to coach or to pace other competitors. The referee shall have the power of allowing a competitor who has been fouled in a preliminary heat to start in the next heat of the race.

A competitor who willfully trails his leg or foot alongside any hurdle shall be disqualified in that event. Any competitor who runs over a hurdle not in his flight or runs around a hurdle shall be disqualified in that event. For short indoor hurdle races, the hurdles shall be placed as for outdoors. XXII. Jumping. — No weights or artificial aid will be al- lowed in any jumping contest except by special agreement or announcement. When weights are allowed, there shall be no restrictions as to size, shape or material. Going over the bar by diving, handspring or somersault shall be counted a trial, but is not a jump. If the head and shoulders of a competitor in the high jump are at any part of the jump below an imaginary horizontal plane passed through his feet the trial shall be considered a dive or illegal jump. Holding the bar in place with any CONFERENCE CODE 35 part of the body while jumping shall not be allowed and the trial shall be forfeited. XXIII. Running High Jump and Pole Vault. — The jump and the vault shall be made over a bar resting on smooth pins of uniform thickness projecting at right angles not more than three inches from the uprights. The bar shall be placed at right angles to the path and shall project approxi- mately six inches beyond the pegs.

Each com- petitor shall make one attempt in the order of his name on the program; then those who have failed (if any) shall have a second trial in regular order. A competitor may omit his trials at any height, but if he fail at the next height he shall not be allowed to go back and try the height he omitted. After making one or more unsuccessful trials at any height, a competitor must take the remainder of his trials at that height, unless he clears the bar. Each com- petitor shall be credited with the best of all his jumps or vaults. High Jump. — A line, to be known as the balk line, shall be drawn three feet in front of the bar and parallel there- with and stepping over such a line, in any attempt, shall count as a balk. Two balks shall count as a "trial." Dis- placing the bar shall count as a ''trial."

Passing over the scratch line or scratch line produced so as to mark the ground shall be no jump, but shall count as a ''trial." Each competitor shall be al- low^ed three trials, and the best five men shall have three more trials each. Each competitor shall be credited with the best of all his jumps. The measurement shall be from the nearest break of the ground made by any part of his person at right angles to the scratch line or the scratch line produced. A line shall be drawn six feet in front of the scratch line, and stepping over such a line in an attempt shall count as a balk; two balks count as a "trial." CONFERENCE CODE ^ XXV. Putting the Shot.— The shot shall be a metal sphere weighing sixteen pounds. It shall be put from the shoulder with one hand, and during the attempt it shall not pass behind nor below the shoulder.

The distance between the iron point and the center of gravity shall be between 2.95 and 3.60 feet. The javelin shall be thrown from behind a scratch line marked on the ground or formed by a board three inches wide and twelve feet long, sunk flush with the ground. Should the javelin break in the air the throw is not counted as a trial. Each competitor shall be allowed three throws and the best five men shall have three more. Each competitor shall be credited with the best of all his throws. The throw is measured from the place where the point of the javelin first strikes the ground perpendicularly to the scratch line or to the scratch line produced. Should the point of the javelin not strike the ground before any part of the shaft the throw shall be considered a foul and shall be counted as a trial without being measured. It shall also count as a trial without being measured if the 40 CONFERENCE CODE competitor touches or crosses the scratch line before his throw is marked. XXIX.

Official Diving Board. — ^The official diving board shall be about 12 or 13 feet long, about 20 inches wide, and shall project at least 2 feet beyond the edge of the pool. The height of the board from the surface of the water shall be between 2 feet 6 inches and 4 feet. The fulcrum shall be- placed at least one-third the length of the board from the free end. Use of other than official diving boards shall be only with the consent of the committee. 3. Depth of Water.— The minimum depth of water in all diving competitions shall be 7 feet. 4. Jack-Knife Limit. — A piece of yarn shall be stretched across the pool 6 feet from the end of the board and at right angles to the board, resting on the curbing of the pool. Contestants when executing a jack-knife dive must enter the water between the yarn and the diving board. If the diver touches the yarn without breaking it the dive shall be allowed, but if he breaks the j^arn or enters the water beyond it the dive shall be scored as an unsuccessful attempt. " CONFERENCE CODE 51 5. Competitor's Written List of Dives. — A written list of voluntary dives shall be submitted by each competitor to the judges before the beginning of the competition. Changes in this list shall not be permitted. No competitor shall be permitted to repeat any dive. XII. METHOD OF SCORING DIVES 1. Number of Fancy Diving Judges. — There shall be not less than three judges, w^ho shall, independently and without consulting each other, award points, and, if necessary, half points, up to the maximum of 10 for each dive, according to the following scale : Diving Judges' Scale of Points. — Unsuccessful attempt Poor dive 3 Fair dive 6 Good dive 8 Excellent dive 10 2. Correct Diving Form. — For information as to correct form in diving, judges and contestants are referred to the special article following. 3. Scoring Voluntary Dives. — In the case of voluntary dives, before adding up his points and placing the com- petitors, each judge shall multiply the points which he has awarded for each dive by the value given in the list of fancy dives according to Rule XI, and shall add the products so obtained. The maximum for each required dive shall be 10 points without addition for degree of difficulty. 4. Execution of Dives Alone Considered. — When judging voluntary dives, on no account shall the maximum for any particular dive be raised, or shall the judge take into con- sideration the difficulty of the dive done, but points shall be awarded for execution alone. An unsuccessful attempt is 52 CONFERENCE CODE one in which the competitor has failed to perform the dive nominated. 5. Determining Winners of Diving. — At the finish of the contest, each judge shall add up his points and place the competitors, 1, 2, 3, etc., in the order thus established. Should two or more competitors receive equal points from any judge, they shall each be awarded the same placing figures, but the next competitors in order must be placed in the posi- tions w^hich they otherwise would have obtained. 6. Tie Scores in Diving. — The placing figures of each judge shall be added together, and the competitor whose aggre- gate is the lowest shall be the winner. In the event of a tie for any position, the total points of the three judges shall be added together, and such position awarded to the competitor having the highest number. CONFERENCE CODE 53 Instructions to Divers and Judges of Fancy Diving GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL DIVES All dives, running or standing, plain or fancy, should be executed with the utmost possible energy. Endeavor to get as high in the air as possible. Always stand momentarily at attention before taking off or com- mencmg to run. A dive is considered to be finished as soon as the whole of the body has disappeared beneath the water. No points are given for return to the surface. Faults to Be Avoided. — Faults to be avoided in dives, running or standing, are as follows: falling outwards when taking off instead of springing outwards and upwards, ducking the head or throwing it too far back, and unnatural rigidity of the body which renders the dive stiff and awkward; hesitation; legs apart; feet fiat; fingers spread in- stead of being together; legs throwing over on entering the water; hands apart in the case of a swallow dive; too much hollow to the back; fingers clenched, and arms too far back in the swallow. Correct Form and Take-off for Running Dives. — In all running dives take a run the full length of the board, but always stand at attention momentarily before commencing. The run must be strong, quick, and natural, and the spring should be taken from both feet; avoid leaning forward, or the legs will be thrown up too far, but try to take the spring with the body vertical. Throw the arms into position simul- taneously with the spring. Correct Position On Board in Standing Dives. — In all standing dives take a position at the end of the board, heels touching, abdomen well in, chest out, head erect — not stretched nor strained — arms held straight to the sides, with fingers loosely clenched and thumbs to the front; the whole position should be easy and graceful. Before taking off, the arms may be raised momentarily in front of, and at right angles to, the body, fingers stretched, forefingers touching and palms down- ward. Correct Position of Body AVhile in the Air. — After turns, somersaults, twists, or jack-knives are completed, the whole body in its passage through the air should form an easy straight line, the head neither ducked nor thrown back, but just in an erect position in relation to the body, the thighs and back well braced, knees straight, toes pointed, and a slight natural hollow to the back. This position must be main- tained until the dive is completed by the toes disappearing below the water. Plain Front Dive. — In the plain front dive simultaneously with the spring, the arms should be swung into position either above the head with forefingers touching and palms downward, or at right angles laterally to the body as in the so-called swallow dive. Swallow Dive. — In the swallow dive the arms must be brought into position above the head just before entering the water. The entry into the water should be at an angle of about 50 or 60 degrees, and 54 CONFERENCE CODE with as little splash as possible. Judges, when judging this part of the dive, should carefully note whether the splash is caused by the body entering the water at an incorrect angle, by the legs throwing over, by the feet being flat, or by the build of the performer. It stands to reason that a heavily built person will make more splash than one of slighter build, therefore the entry into the water must be judged, not by the amount of splash made, but by the angle of entry and correct- ness of position. Back Dive. — Assume position of attention on low end of the board; walk full length of board in graceful manner; stand on balls of the feet on the extreme edge of the free end of the board with back to- wards the water, arms extended at sides or hands placed on hips; spring upward and slightly backward, keeping the hands in either of these positions until the body has reached its highest point in the air, at which time the hands must be fully extended beyond the head before entering the water. Front Jack-Knife Dive. — Running or standing, spring from the board as high as possible. At top of spring, bend forward at the hips and touch the toes, which must be pointed. Maintain this position until the last possible moment, straighten out and enter the water head first with arms above the head. The entry into the water must be made within 6 feet from the end of the board. Back Jack-Knife Dive. — Stand on the balls of the feet on the extreme edge of the board, back to water, obtain a good balance (the arms may be stretched in front of the body before taking off), avoid lean- ing forward, take a strong backward spring upwards and outwards, bending at the hips at the same time until the fingers touch the toes. This position is maintained and entry into the water made as in the front jack-knife dive. Hand Balance Dive. — In all hand balance dives, the balance must be held for an appreciable time. Somersault Dives. — In the front or back dives with more than one somersault, the somersault movements may be executed with the body in either of the following positions: (a) Tucking the body as far as possible into the shape of a ball by drawing knees well up in front, and bending head and shoulders forward as far as possible, with hands gripping the legs below the knees. Straighten the body smartly before entering the water. (b) Bending at hips as in jack-knife dive. In all front or back single somersaults the movement is made with body in "layout" position — i. e., keeping the body erect with arms fully extended sidewise on a line with the shoulders. Dives with Twists. — In all somersaults and in jack-knife dives with twists, the somersaults or jack-knife must be completed before twisting. Feet First Dives. — When entering the water feet first, the body should be vertical, back slightly hollowed, legs straight, toes pointed, head drawn back, arms extended by the sides. Position of the Head Important. — The position of the head is of great importance in plain and fancy diving. In a plain dive, if the head be ducked, there is a tendency to throw the legs over, and if held too far back, a tendency to come flat. In fancy dives, the position of the head goes a long way towards regulating the movement of the body. CONFERENCE CODE 55 Cross Country Running A cross country run shall be held annually under the man- agement of the Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Associa- tion. The time and place of conducting the same shall be determined by the Conference. The distance shall be approximately five miles. Each in- stitution may enter not less than five nor more than six contestants; the score of the first five of such contestants shall be taken as the team score. Unless five men of a team finish the race, all the men comprising that team shall be disqualified. An entry fee of $10 is charged for each team. Tennis A tennis tournament shall be held each year under the management of the Intercollegiate Conference Athletic As- sociation, on the last Thursday, Friday and Saturday of May, unless otherwise changed by the Board of Dire'ctors. The place for holding such tournament shall be determined by the Conference. Such tournament shall be conducted under the rules of the National Tennis Association. An entry fee of $10 is charged for each team. Conference Medal To encourage a high standard of excellence in scholarship and athletics, the Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Asso- ciation in 1915 founded the Conference Medal. Under the provisions of this foundation a medal is presented to the man in each of the nine Conference institutions who, in the opinion of the faculty of each university, most successfully has combined high scholarship with athletic prowess during his four years in college. The first awards were made in the Spring of 1915. 56 CONFERENCE CODE The winners of 1915 Conference medals for excellence in athletics and scholarship were : University of Chicago F. T. Ward University of Illinois Edward Allen Williford University of Indiana Matthew Winters University of Iowa Herman L. von Lackum University of Minnesota Boles Albert Rosenthal Northwestern University Howard Grinnell Osborn Ohio State University Arthur S. Kiefer Purdue University Harry Benjamin Routh University of Wisconsin Martin Thomas Kennedy CONFERENCE CODE 57 The Western Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association n^HIS ASSOCIATION was organized by Dr. J. C Elsom -■- of the University of Wisconsin in 1902, when the first regular intercollegiate gymnastic meet in the West was held. Wisconsin and Grinnell were represented by teams, and Wisconsin won first place. Teams representing Minnesota, Wisconsin, Grinnell, and Chicago competed in the second meet, which was held at Minnesota in 1903. The.champion- ship was won by Minnesota, with Wisconsin second. The Championships were held in Bartlett Gymnasium at the Univ-ersity of Chicago in 1905. Wisconsin was first; Ne- braska, second. Illinois was represented for the first time and took third place. There was no meet in 1906. The meet in 1907, held at Chicago, was won by Minnesota; Wis- consin, second; Nebraska, third; and Chicago, fourth. Wis- consin won the championship in 1908 in the meet which was held at Madison; Chicago, second. Wrestling was added to the list of events in this meet. Up to 1909 the basis of scoring was as in track meets ; i. e., first, second, and third places in each event counted five, three, and one, respectively. In the meet held this year at the University of Nebraska, however, the team scores were calculated on the basis of the'number of points award- ed by the judges in each exercise in each event. This meet was won by Chicago; Minnesota, second. Washington Uni- versity of St. Louis entered the meet this year for the first time. Competition was held in three classes of wrestling — light, middle, and heavy weights ; and foil fencing was added to the program. 58 CONFERENCE CODE Rules Governing I.

Rule 3. — The contestants in each weapon shall fight a round-robin contest. Rule 4. — Section 1. The individual championship shall be awarded to the contestant with each weapon who wins the C O NFERENCE CODE 61 greatest number of bouts with that weapon. In case two contestants are tied in number of bouts won, the decision shall be based upon the number of points made by each fencer in all his contests with that weapon. Sec. 2. The team championship shall be awarded to the team which has scored the largest number of points, touches, and cuts in all contests with both weapons. Rule 5. — Contests with the foils will be governed by the Intercollegiate foil fencing rules, as amended by the West- ern Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association. Contests with the broadswords will be governed by the Amateur Fencers' League of America, broadsword rules, as amended by the Western Intercollegiate Gymnastic Asso- ciation. Foil Fencing Rules A team shall consist of not more than three men, and no college shall have more than this number taking part in the match at the same time. Any college may, however, replace any man on its team by a substitute at any time between bouts, provided that a man so replaced shall not again fence in that match. Rule 1. — Eligibility for competition is decided by the Con- ference rules. Rule 2. — The officials of each bout in competitions shall be one director, three, five, or seven judges, and one time- keeper. Rule 3. — The director shall be in charge of each bout, shall start the assault, shall immediately stop a corps-a-corps, shall bring the contestants back to the middle of the mat after each touch or four before recommencing the engage- ment, shall receive the slips of the judges, compare them, and render the decision, after which he shall carefully retain 62 CONFERENCE CODE the slips, turning them over to the Secretary of the Asso- ciation at the end of the match. Rule 4. — The judges shall be experienced fencers, not con- nected with any of the competing institutions, and their de- cision shall be final and without appeal. Rule 5. — Each judge shall make his award independently and without consulting his fellow-judges, and shall keep ac- count of all touches made and all offenses against form on the official judge's slip, which shall be furnished by the Secretary. In the touches column, opposite the names, shall be re- corded the number of touches made by the man, and in the form column the number of points his opponent forfeits for offenses against form, as provided elsewhere in these rules, so that when the horizontal column be added, the man having the most number of points is declared the winner. Judges must write the name of the winner and sign the slips. The form of this slip shall be as follows : Judge's Slip. Western Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association. Name Touches Form Mr Mr , Winner Rule 6. — The majority vote of the judges shall decide the winner of the assault, and the team of which he is a member shall be given one point. In case the majority give no de- cision and the other judge or judges give the decision in favor of one man, the bout shall be called a tie and fought off according to rules. CONFERENCE CODE 63 Rule 7. — The timekeeper shall take time out at the com- mand of the director, shall call "change over" at the end of the second minute of assault, and "time" at the end of the second minute after changing over. In case of a tie, "change over" shall be called at the end of the first minute and "time" at the end of the second minute. Rule 8. — Each bout shall consist of four minutes' actual fencing. Contestants shall change positions after two min- utes' fencing. Contestants shall come on guard in the middle of the space at the command of the director. In case the judges cannot decide, contestants shall meet for an extra assault of tw^o minutes' duration, changing sides at the end of one minute. Rule 9. — Contestants shall fence vv^ithin a marked space twenty feet long and thirty-six inches wide; a mark shall plainly indicate the middle. When a contestant oversteps these limits, it shall be considered a point against form and the director shall stop the bout. All the judges shall place a point in the form column opposite the name of the opponent of the man so overstepping these limits, provided, however, the engagement was started in the middle of the mat. Rule 10. — Clean touches shall count only when made upon the body wnthin the space bounded by a line running from the base of the collar along the crest of the right shoulder, along the crest of the shoulder and under the arm to the posterior limit of the arm pit, down to the waist line, along the waist line to the left side of the body, up to the posterior limit of the left arm pit, up and around to the crest of the left shoulder, along the crest of the left shoulder to the base of the collar and around the base of the collar to the crest of the right shoulder. Rule 11. — A touch made outside the space where touches count may be counted by a judge, provided, in his opinion, it 64 CONFERENCE CODE would have been good if the contestant upon whom the touch was made, had not taken an irregular position or made an improper movement. Rule 12. — Turning, ducking, dodging, or moving in any manner during an attack so that the opponent's point falls on a part of the body other than that on which it should have fallen had not the movement been made, shall be con- sidered as illegitimate movements; but the backward lunge shall not be considered illegitmate, provided the left leg (or right, if the contestant be left-handed), is fully extended and straight. Rule 13. — Should a fencer unduly cover his body wuth the arm or head and receive a touch on either, which otherwise would have been on the body, it shall be counted as good. Rule 14. — A clean touch made outside the space where touches count shall be considered a foul, and the contestants must go on guard again in the middle of the mat. Rule 15. — The beginning of the assault is marked by the" contact of the blades, which is called the engagement. After the engagement, an appreciable interval must elapse before an attack is made. Rule 16. — After the engagement, either fencer has the right to attack. The full extension of the arm in the direction of the opponent's body is a necessary preliminary of an attack. A movement of preparation which is made without the full extension of the arm, such as ,a beat or pressure, a change of engagement, a feint made with the arm bent, or a single advance, does not constitute an attack. Rule 17. If both fencers commence an attack at the same moment and both are touched, whether on the target or not, neither touch counts. But if only one is touched on the target and the other is untouched, the touch is valid. C O N F E R E N C E CODE 65 Rule 18. — The competitor attacked should parry. If a stop thrust is made, it shall count in favor of the one who makes it, provided he be not touched at all. Backw^ard lunge, ex- tension of arm and extension of the back leg upon opponent's attack shall be judged according to the rules governing an ordinary stop thrust. Rule 19. — The Stop Thrust is a counter-attack made either on the opponent's preparation to attack, or upon his advan- cing or making feints with the arms bent or wide of the target. If the fencer who attempts to make a stop thrust touches his opponent and is himself absolutely untouched, or if he touches his opponent obviously before he is himself touched, the touch is in his favor. If he is touched simul- taneously, either on the target or elsewhere, the stop thrust is not valid, and the touch, if on the target, is in favor of his opponent; if not on the target, neither touch is valid. If one fencer makes several feints, and the other, after trying to parry the first feint, makes a stop touch, the re- sulting touches, if simultaneous, are invalid. Rule 20. — The Time Thrust is a counter-attack made with opposition upon the opponent's attack in such a way that it parries the attack on which it is made. Hence it follows that a touch made by a time thrust is valid only if the fencer who attempts it is absolutely untouched, and in case of mutual touches, the touch is in favor of the fencer who delivers the attack or riposte. Rule 21. — When a fencer is attacked, it is only after he has parried successfully that he acquires the right to attack, (except by a time thrust). The attack after a parry is called a riposte. The riposte must in like manner be par- ried before a third attack (counter-riposte) can be made, and so on. A touch made on riposte counts two points. 66 CONFERENCE CODE Rule 22. — A touch, whether fair or foul, invalidates the riposte. Rule 23. — A passe shall be considered a foul touch. Rule 24. — A touch is of no value when the point is twisted on to the body after the slap of the foil. Rule 25. — A remise is a renewal of the attack made in the same line as the original attack. The redoublement d'attaque is a renewal of the attack made with a change of line. The remise or redoublement made on a fencer who ripostes immediately after a parry must be made with suf- ficient opposition to parry the riposte in such a way that the fencer who attempts it is absolutely untouched. In the event of mutual touches, the riposte only is valid. If after a parry there is a distinct pause followed by a riposte (riposte a temps perdu) and remise or redoublement d'attaque delivered simultaneously, the resulting touches are both invalid. If the remise or redoublement is made before the riposte a temps perdu, the remise or redoublement only is valid; if after the riposte, the riposte only is valid. If the riposte is composed of several feints or of feints made with the arm bent or wide of the target, the remise or redoublement to be valid must be delivered before the final. Rule 26. — A touch made from a thrust started with the elbow behind the body (jab thrust), shall not count, and shall be considered an offense against form. Rule 27. — A disarmament is of no value. A touch immedi- ately following a disarmament counts. Rule 28. — Contestants must acknowledge all touches, fair or foul, in a clear, audible voice. If a contestant persistently fails to acknowledge touches, he shall be warned twice by the director, and on the third warning disqualified, and forfeit the bout. CONFERENCE CODE 67 Rule 29. — Each competitor shall fence with the same hand throughout the bout. Rule 30. — Competitors shall wear plain white, unglazed jackets at the championships, and the boundaries wherein touches count shall be outlined wuth narrow black braid. Rule 31. — Foil blades shall not exceed thirty-four inches in length. The guard of the foil shall not exceed four inches in any dimension. Tips shall be made of white tape or white string, and shall not exceed three-eighths of an inch in diameter. Rule 32. — Before all competitions, the judges shall inspect the weapons and costumes of all contestants, and disqualify those whose equipment violates any of the rules. Rule 33. — At the conclusion of the bout, a judge may award one point for form to the fencer he thinks superior in that respect, basing his decision on the general bearing and form in defense and attack during the bout. Broadsword Fencing Rules Rule 1. — The officials of each bout in competitions shall be three, five or seven judges, and one timekeeper. Rule 2. — Specifications for weapons shall be those estab- lished by the Amateur Fencers' League of America. Rule 3. — All contests shall be for a majority of touches, cuts, or points, made during a four-minute bout, two minutes each way. Rule 4. — A touch made by a parry and riposte shall count two points. Rule 5. — A competitor not parrying or returning after be- ing touched, whether fairly or foully, shall be penalized one point. Rule 6. — A cut or thrust on any part of the body above the hip shall count. CONFERENCE CODE Rule 7.. — Contestants shall touch blades and retreat one step after each touch, whether valid or not. A contestant failing to comply with this rule, will be penalized half a point for each offense. Rule 8. — A touch made with the flat of the blade shall not count. Wrestling Rules The Western Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association is opposed to all unnecessar}^ roughness, such as certain face, body, and head holds, and holds for punishment only. The officials in charge of wrestling matches are instructed to interpret the following rules accordingly. Rule L — Section 1. All intercollegiate wrestling compe- titions shall be governed by Conference eligibility rules. Rule 2. — Section 1. An institution shall be represented by only one contestant in each class. Rule 3. — Section 1. The weights of the various classes are to be : Special 125 pounds and under. Light 135 pounds and under. Welter 145 pounds and under. Middle 158 pounds and under. Light-Heav}^ 175 pounds and under. Heavy 175 pounds and over. Sec. 2. Contestants shall be weighed not earlier than 11:00 o'clock a. m. on the day of the contest, and any contestant being over weight shall be rejected in that class. Rule 4. — Section 1. Immediatel}^ before the competition, each competitor who has weighed in shall draw in person his number and compete according to the drawings made by the Bagnall-Wilde system, viz.: When the number of competitors is 4, 8, 16, or any higher CONFERENCE CODE 69 power of 2, they shall meet in pairs in accordance with the system shown by the following diagram: Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 A B C D E F G H When the number of competitors is not a power of 2, there shall be byes in the first round. The number of byes shall be equal to the difference between the number of com- petitors, and the next higher power of 2, and the number of pairs that shall meet in the first round shall be equal to the difference between the number of competitors and the next lower power of 2. The byes, if even in number, shall be divided, as the names are drawn, in equal proportions at the top and bottom of the list, above and below the pairs. If uneven in number, there shall be one more bye at the bottom than at the top. Thus : Five to Eight Contestants. Round 1 B. C. Round 2 A (a bye) D (a bye) E (a bye) Round 3 70 CONFERENCE CODE With 6, there will be one bye at the top, and 1 bye at the bottom. With 7, 1 bye at the bottom. With 8, no byes. Rule 5. — Section 1. The wrestlers shall compete in noth- ing heavier than light rubber-soled gymnasium slippers or shoes, without heels, and laced with eyelets only; a well- fitting supporter; full tights; and sleeveless jersey. The wrestlers will be allowed to go stripped to the waist during the time of actual work on the mat, but must wear bath- robe or sweater, until called to the mat. The referee shall see that the contestant's finger-nails are trimmed short, and that the contestant has nothing on his hands or body likely to cause distress or injury to his opponent. Sec. 2. Any wrestler using oily rub shall be immediately ruled out of competition. Sec. 3. Each contestant shall be entitled to the assistance of one second only, and no advice or coaching shall be given to any competitor by his second, or by any person, during the progress of any bout. Any violation of this rule, or of Rule 7, Sec. 3, by any contestant, or the refusal of any contestant to break any hold when so ordered by the ref- eree, may be punished by the referee by the loss of the bout to the offender, and by exclusion from further com- petition. Rule 6. — Section 1. Preliminary bouts shall be started not later than 3:00 P. M., or 8:00 P. M., on the afternoon or evening of the day, immediately before the day of the gym- nastic meet. Sec. 2. The duration of bouts shall be ten minutes. Sec. 3. If in the preliminary bouts, no fall has been ob- tained by either contestant after the expiration of ten minutes, the referee may award the bout to the contestant having shown the best qualities, or who evidently has acted mostly upon the offensive (it is the consensus of opinion that CONFERENCE CODE 71 a decision should not be made by the referee unless the contestants have gone to the mat). If the referee does not make a decision at the expiration of ten minutes, two periods of three minutes each, with one minute intermis- sion between periods, shall be wrestled, with the contes- tants down on the mat. The referee shall toss a coin to determine which contestant shall go on top at the begin- ning of the first three-minute period. The contestant who started underneath in the first period shall start on top at the beginning of the second period. If at the end of the second three-minute period the referee is unable to decide the winner, extra double three-minute periods shall continue at the discretion of the referee. Sec. 4. The final bout to decide third place shall not be more than thirteen minutes long. If, in the final bouts, a fall has not been obtained at the expiration of ten minutes, another bout of ten minutes shall be ordered. If at the expiration of this second bout, a fall has not resulted, the referee shall flip a coin and proceed as after the first ten minutes in the preliminary bouts. Sec. 5. A rest of not less than five minutes nor more than ten minutes shall be allowed between final bouts. Rule 7. — Section 1. Both shoulders momentarily pinned to the mat shall constitute a fall. A fall with any part of the body ofY the mat shall not count unless in the opinion of the referee the loser was not put at a disadvantage by having a part of his body off the mat. Flying and rolling falls shall not count. (Note. — By "momentarily pinned" is meant pinned for the referee's count of three seconds.) Sec. 2. — When contestants are down on the mat, and any part of the body of either contestant is off the mat, thereby making it impossible for him to defend himself, the referee 72 CONFERENCE CODE shall use his discretion in ordering the contestants to re- turn to the center of the mat. Sec. 3.— Any hold, grip, lock or trip allowed, except the full hammer-lock, full Nelson, strangling and holds over mouth and face and where lingers or toes are bent or twist- ed for punishment. (Note. Hammer-lock to small of back is allowed.) Sec. 4. — No striking, kickirlg, gouging, hair-pulling, butting, strangling, or anything that endangers life and limb, shall be allowed. Rule 8. — Section 1. The winner of the final bout in each class shall be awarded the first prize, and the contestant who has last been defeated by the winner shall receive second prize, and all who have been defeated by the winners of either first or second place shall be entitled to compete for third place, and the rule governing duration of pre- liminary bouts shall prevail. Sec. 2. — Scoring shall be as follows : First place on a fall shall count six points for the team; and on a decision shall count five points. Second place shall count four points. Third place on a fall shall count two points; and on a deci- sion, one point. The institution having the largest number of points shall be the winner of the wrestling meet. Sec- 3. — The team trophy shall be a suitable plaque, or banner; cost not to exceed ten dollars. Sec. 4. — Individual awards shall be gold, silver and bronze medals for first, second and third place, respectively, in each event. Rule 9. — Section 1. The referee shall have full control of the competition, and his decisions shall be final and without appeal. Sec. 2. A timekeeper shall be appointed. Rule 10. — Section 1. In all competitions the mat shall be not less than one and one-half inches and not more than two inches thick, and at least fifteen feet square. (Note. — It is permissible to enlarge a mat less than fifteen feet square by fastening same to smaller mats and covering all with a cotton flannel cover.)
