5. The efforts of the Central Board of Officials to uphold the fearless administration of the rules and the maintenance of the highest standards of sportsmanship are heartily endorse.
3. Athletic Schedules
In making the schedules effort shall be made, so far as possible, to arrange contests only with teams representing institutions employing similar standards of eligibility and similar training methods.
4. Athletic Publicity
The matter of publicity shall be subject to constant supervision and study in an effort to lessen undue emphasis upon athletics in general and football in particular.
Under this agreement, Harvard, Yale and Princeton agree to submit to a committee composed of the chairmen of their athletic boards all debatable questions affecting their relations with one another, and through this agreement the three universities hope to improve conditions and to establish intercollegiate athletics more securely in the proper position as valuable elements in a wholesome college life.
In February, 1925, the Committee of the Three Chairmen made the following agreement in regard to the salaries of football coaches:
"Subject to contracts now existing the annual budget for coaching varsity football teams at Harvard. Yale and Princeton, shall not exceed $22,500 after September 1, 1926. As between Yale and Harvard, the salary of the head coach of the varsity football team shall not exceed $10,000 for the coach beginning September 1, 1925, $9,000 for the year beginning September 1 1926, and $8,000 annually thereafter until further action shall be taken.
Though not made a part of the vote it was agreed that the practice of permitting a coach to receive a bonus for alumni, or from other outside sources be forbidden.
