6. This Association shall not arrange for games or contests within this enclosure with clubs formed wholly or in- part of professional players; provided t h a t either this Association or the college or amateur club with whom it may for the time be in contest, may reinforce its strength by the employment of not more than two professi >nal players upon each side.

The Association may not let or lend these grounds for any purpose, nor use them for any purpose not hereinbefore set forth. 8. In case this Association shall either wilfully, or by neglect, fail to keep and observe the conditions hereinbefore stated, or shall commit or permit any act in the premises which is prejudicial to morality or good order, the Faculty of the University may suspend the privileges herein conferred, until the next meeting of the Board of Trustees: and the Board of Trustees of the University reserves to the University the right to determine the fact of such failure or misuse, and thereupon to reclaim and enter upon the premises aforesaid, and to direct the property of the Association to be removed.
