status that college athletes are to hold in
amateur athletics in the future.

two places, their colleges and the homes
of their parents or guardians. An attempt
was made to confine college athletes to
their colleges, but the delegates, believing
that this change was altogether too dras-
tic, the resolution was amended to include
their homes.

elected president of the union, and Major
John ]. Dixon was continued In the posi-
ton OF secretary and treasurer.
