Montreal, May by vote of 300 to -
the Montreal Amateur Athletic association, the
has decided in favor Of allowing it's members
to play with and compete against professionals
in all sports without losing their standing as
amateurs. 1t Is expected that the decision will
affect athletics not only in Canada, but in the
United States and England as well. The ques-
ton arose as to whether two professional Ia
crosse teams from Ontario would be admitted
into the league in which the M. A. A. A. Is promi-
nently identified, and this was the latter body s
method of answering the question
Those who voted for the somewhat radical
resolution are Of the opinion that it is the
one method by which amateur athletics could
be purified and put upon an honest basis. by
It," stated Sam Baylis, the mover of the
resolution. professionalism will not be intro
duced into the NJ. A. A. A. but banished.
What Is required is wedding out of the pro
fessional amateur The professional will now
become an employee only. Engaged on con-
tract and subject to penalties he will have
no status in the association. If any member OF
the NJ. A. A. A. wishes to play lacrosse, foot
ball, cricket, hockey tennis for money he
may do SO openly and above board, by sending
his resignation to the NJ A. A. A. 1t will no
longer be necessary for him to take his salary
in an underhanded manner while posing as an
amateur
6 For years the paying of stars upon the Ia
crosse and hockey teams has been carried on
and has been winked at by many Of the anna
tour associations, tho the NJ. A. A. A. has held
strenuously to amateur lines.

Ann Arbor, Mich, May with an eastern
game scheduled next year, Michigan's football
proposition is unique one. 1t is not at all
improbable that Coach Yost will build up prac-
tically two big elevens, for the western
games and the other for the eastern struggle.
He will face different conditions in the east
and must prepare for Them. That Pennsy game,
scheduled for Nov. IT, will not be controlled by
the western conference rules.
This means that several of last years stars
who are barred from the western games as a
result of the reform legislation, will be able
to play. AL Barlow, the crack quarterback it
is now hoped. will return in the fall, as he
would be eligible in the east.
