from the union and into strlctly inter-
collegiate associations.
MOVEMENT STARTED HERE.
In Salt Lake Coach Maddox has boon
interesting himself IN the formation OF an
| intercollegiate association on the lines
laid down. and Dr. Plummer ~ the board
| Of regents has also been considering the
matter II is probable that the subject
| will be preached at Denver and Boulder on
| the trip next week and that SINE definite
results will be reached
