AMONG THE LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES


the friction which crops out every year
between various colleges. competitor
whose amateur status is in question could
then have a fair hearing. and if his Of
fense was merely technical he could be
reinstated in good standing as is done
III the national body. As il is today a
body hardly dares TO take part in an ath-
letic contest for fear he may be guilty
of violating a rule that he has never
heard of when he gets into college. These
questions are agitating Harvard and men
of other colleges today and may be
brought prominently forward before long.
District League Meetings.
So few of the delegates to the District
Basketball and Indoor Baseball Leagues
put in an appearance last Tuesday oven
ing at Y. NJ. C. A. building that the meet
inss were postponed to Tuesday next
April %, at same place at o'clock, and
the Importance of attending the meetings
is urged upon all managers and delegates.
The treasurers are desirous of closing
their books and wish at this meeting to
return all club dues and forfeits Don't
fail to be there.
Individual Bowling Tourney.
With the District Bowling League
schedule out of the way, and with chances
in favor of plenty of good bowling wealth
er, it is suggested that members of the
league and others arrange series of in
dividual bowling Journeys such as are
successfully held in other bowling CEN
tres. Such contests would be decidedly
interesting and would serve to bring out
the best work of the contestants, and
would be almost as attractive and inter
esting to followers Of the sport as the
| team contests
Championships could be bowled for. not
as to individuals, but as to teams by the
entries they would respectively make.
Cooked hat, FIVE back, and other small
ball games, too. would make interesting
contests for team prizes.

the Y. VI. c. A. goes steadily forward and

+ Infantry Athletics.
Several of the men entered by the
Light Infantry in Friday night Guard
meet made such good showing that they
will be entered in the Y. NJ c. A May "a
games, where, outdoors, they do even
better work in both track and field events.
The basketball teams representing the
National Basketball League are both to
drop out of the game, notwithstanding the
season closed two weeks ago. Last week
the Infantry and Company A, First Bat
tallion came together again, and put up
a good game. The latter lost, and is no
doubt convinced by this time that the
champions have the superior all-around
team.
The strong rivalry existing between the
Infantry and the Eastern Athletic Club of
last years league and the winners of the
championship then, makes games between
them of unusual interest, and they draw
out large crowds.
The Easterns have not been in the game
this season, but they feel equal to play
ing a series with their former rivals, the
Infantrymen, and Manager Boyd is ar
ranging a set of games to be played in the
near future. The Eastern team will be
made up of Thompson and Dunn forwards;
Moffitt, center; Heffner and Boyd, backs
Athletics at Emerson Institute.
The athletic department OF Emerson In
stitutc includes in its ranks some of the
most promising athletes in local inter
scholastic circles. For several years the
boys have been identified with local
