tunately large percentage OF those in power

mark that, if correct. the sooner We return
to the days when no athletic legislator was

ever, there is no doubt that many men of in
fuence, rank and social standing hold aloof
from athletic government nowadays. My
correspondent attributes this state of affairs
to the mixed state of present day amateur
athletics. and there is deal Of truth in his
contention. There must be some reason
