COLLEGE BOYS SPLIT
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION HAS TROUBLE
U. S. c. and Chaffey College Withdraw
The Apparently Innocent Word
"West" the Bone

! The Southern California Intercollegiate
Athletic association met yesterday morning
in the parlors of the Y. NJ. c. a. building. a
lively session was held, and before it closed
Chaifey college and the University of South
ern California Withdrew from the organl-
cation. This action leaves Pomona and Oc-
cidental colleges alone in the association,
and will possibly result in its complete col
lapse. The meeting was opened at III o clock
with President G. f. ID. Ballou OF u. 5. Z.
| in the chair. The other officers present were
| C.. A. Phillips of Chaffey college, vice presi-
dent; f. NJ Strobridge of Pomona, secre-
tary; Dwight Chaplin of Occidental, treas
urer; F. c. Wright, IT, S. c., business mana
ger. Occidental was represented by ID. Is.
Cromwell, Pomona by F. p. Stetfa, Chaffey
by c. A. Phillips and the university by G.
j. Hinman.
An amendment to the constitution was
adopted providing that the business mana
ger should receive as compensation for his
services per cent of the gross gate receipts,
nsead of 10 per cent of the net receipts, as
at present.
Then the T. S. G. delegate started the trou-
BILE that caused the withdrawal of his col
ege and Chatfey. Mr.. Hinman moved the
| adoption of am amendment striking out the
word west" from the second article of the
constitution. This article reads: 1.-The asso-
ciation shall be composed of Pomona, Chat
few and Occidental colleges and the depart
ments of the University of Southern Caifor-
MIA located at West Los Angeles" The effect
of the amendment would be to permit the
! u. S. c. men to select members of their
track team from the students Of the medi-
cal and dental departments of the univer-
sitv, which are barred out by the present
wording of the article. A hot discussion en-
sued, and the motion was lost Mr.. Hinman
then Withdrew the University of Southern
California from membership in the associa-
ton stating that he acted under instructions
from the athletic association of the univer-
sity.
President Ballou and Manager Wright
presented their designations, which were ac-
cepted Tt was moved to make the Pomona
team permanent owners of the trophy cup
now in their possession. Pomona has won
| the cup five times in the six field days and
tied for first place the sixth time. The
Chaffey and Pomona delegates voted in the
affirmative, but the Occidental man asked
for time to learn the will of his constitu-
ents.
Mr.. Phillips created CONSERVATION in the
meeting by announcing that under instruc-
tions from his local association he withdrew
the membership of Chaffey college. This
action proved too much for Pomona and Oc-
cdenta, and they adjourned what was left
of the organization.
As result of the action of the university
| onJ (fha Ga,r ool1ona fha annual fold dav cot
for the 22d of February will probably fall
through.
The Pomona college association has ap-
piled for membership in the Stanford-C
fornia association, and desires to enter a
team in their spring meet. If this effort is
failure, they will in the near future en-
