High School Athletics
BY Herbert HauSer

President Al Cloud Of the academic athletic
league has called su important meeting Of the
league for Saturday night at the Lowell high
school The matter Of the extension OF the
league will be gone into thoroughly by the man
ayers The Withdrawal OF the Berkeley high
school and committee reports will probably come
up for discussion.
Oakland high school intends 10 bring up the
matter OF competition with Berkeley high school,
For years these two have been great rivals
and their dual games have been the means OF
supporting their treasures to a great extent; in
fact. these games often draw larger crowds than
the final league events. II the league should pre-
vent them meeting il would mean big deficit in
Oakland's finances. Rumors have aroused the
fears of the Oakland athletes and there is con-
siderable talk OF Withdrawing from the league
II the academic officials decide TO take this stand
Football Manager Salingcr will appeal 10 the Pa
eife athletic association all of the athletes Of
these schools registered in the association and
the boys do not why they should not be al
lowed 20 compete.
According 10 the writer's interDreta tiou of the
rules, he can not see how the academic athletic
league can prevent such competition long as
all the contestants register in the Pacific athletic
association. Berkeley has not violated any ANA
teur rules. and far as its amateur standing Is
concerned IL is all right II would have been
different had the school been expelled for any
violation Of rnlcs. but such Is not the case
there is reason whatsoever why the two
schools should not have their annual contests.
League schools compete with Belmont and Bel
mont IS not league member.

dent and EIfey Treasurer

At meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Western Pacific in the Mills
building yesterday s. c. Matthews was
elected vice president and Charles
Elfey treasurer.
Matthews is assistant general au-
ditor of the Denver and Rio Grande,
with headquarters In, New York, but
has been here for few days Elfey
has been acting treasurer of the COM
pany and has his headquarters in this
city. The directors also authorized
the issuance of $25.000.000 second mort
gage bonds, as well as the execution
of contract that would dispose of
enough of those bonds for the COM
pletion of the road. 1t was not stated
how much would be required to fin
ish the road. but the inference is that
some of this money would in all prob
ability be used on branch lines. There
is no change In the presidency. as
that will remain with &c. T. Jeffery,
who is president also of the Denver
