AMONG AMATEUR ATHLETES
Formation of Southern Inter-COl-
legiate Association Suggested.

League Champions-WOOd Ath-
Ietic CIub-FriendS' school Meet.
From time TO time schedules Of football
and baseball games have been played
which in a way decided the intercollegi-
ate championship of the South
The very successful track and field meet
held last Saturday by Georgetown Uni
versity suggests that the all-around
championship of the South in these lines
of sport be decided by holding a spring
or fall meet. In such meet the Unlver-
sity of Virginia and the various colleges
and academies in that State, and the
same of the Carolinas and Of Georgia,
would be very much interested. Each has
plenty of good material, as is shown by
the competition they hold under their
respective auspices. Georgetown would
be glad to go into such an association.
To increase the interest in these lines
of sport the place of holding such meets
should be changed each season of meet
ing to the respective athletic centres of
the States and cities interested.
The first thing necessary to do would
be to hold meetings of the athletic as
sociatious of the various institutions oil
learning Appoint delegates. say three
each, and decide upon place of meeting
and at such a meeting. having been given
authority to act, agree upon details Tor
deciding a championship: events, date,
and place.
A Southern intercollegiate and Inter
scholastic Athletic Association would
certainly increase the interest in the va
rious ii.lsz If track and field sports in the
various localities of the section which do
not encourage them any too literally. 1t
would draw together more closely the men
of the various colleges, and altogeth-
er increase the good fellowship among
lot of good fellows now practically un-
known in athletics except in their own
locality.
