Berkeley High Is Out

Given Its Release by the Gov

Athletics

The withdrawal of Berkeley high
school from the Amateur athletic
league was accepted last night at a
special meeting OF the league in Low
ell hight school. The acceptance did
not take place without an, outbreak of
criticism of Berkeley highs athletic
methods. Several delegates made caus-
tic comment upon Berkeley's alleged
unfairness. The letter of withdrawal
was as follows:
r. A. Balzari. Secretary A. A. L.
Dear Sir: The pupils of the Berkeley high
school have decided to take part in the sched-
ules of the A. A. l. this year and they request
that you give notice Of their withdrawal to the
association II there are any dues fines as
yet unpaid, please TO give notice at your
earliest convenience Yours truly,
NJ. c. JAMES. Principal Berkeley High.
The withdrawal was not unexpected.
but there was a tendency on the part Of
the league officials to withhold action
until later j. c. Boobar of Cogswell
polytechnic school, an active delegate
pressed the acceptance and without q
dissenting vote Berkeley high was
given its release.
The proposed revision of the A. A. l..
constitution providing for subleagues
and practically a complete reorganiza-
ton Of the A A. l.. was discussed, and
after considerable debate it was re-
ferred to the constitution committee
viii govern action. The fear was ex-
pressed that the revised constitution
would legislate the A A. /. out of ex-
istence by giving into the hands of the
subleagues the reins of athletic govern
ment
A resolution aiming to protect league
schools in athletic contests against
schools of lower scholarship standing
and nonleague schools was defeated
after lengthy discussion. The reso-
luton proposed to prevent the league
president from sanctioning games with
outside schools which did not come up
