In discussing the attitude OF tho A. A. U. on
tho amateur baseball question. as defined by
Chairman Sullivan OF tho Registration Commit

few games with outsiders, and even then only
with out.oftown schools. 1t is my impression
that rather than register tho schools will simply
play among themselves. The subject of regis

OF the Executive Committee. and 1t was finally

to the colleges and find out how they stand on
the question, 30 that the two associations might
cooperate II necessary II 1t was found agreeable.
In THE SUN of last Friday Mr.. Sullivan outlines
tho policy OF the A. A. U. as it will affect tho
colleges. and II the same policy is followed out

there will DO no fault found"
