In addition to this, he must have the approval of the Faculty Board in Control of Athletics. A monogram is awarded to a member of the baseball team who has the ap­ proval of the Faculty Board and who has taken part in at least one-half of the regularly scheduled contests. The total time of his participation must equal at least one-fourth of the total time of the playing season. This applies to all members of the squad except the pitcher and catcher, who may earn a monogram by participating in one-half of the time required for the other members. Students inclined toward track can earn a monogram by scoring 12 points in indoor and outdoor competition; placing in the National Collegiate meet; or by running on a winning relay team in a meet of importance. Basketball is similar to baseball in its monogram requirements, requiring a player to participate in one-half of the total regularly scheduled contests.
