after a season Is over the club has no
rights to a player. and hat the ball
tosser should be allowed to do what lac
desires n get as much money as pos
sible. Others hold the opinion that
Barney's action is all right.
There's this much about it, Dreyfus is
entitled to. the best that John Miller,
Camnitz and Hyatt can give him dur

c~ationalS institution plays a club, both
cams must be registered, n when q
team goes out of its class all the play
ers must be registered. For the pur-
pose of making the basketball situation
clear, the basketball committee has di-
yided the basketball teams into several
classes. such as regimental teams, edu-
cational institution teams, Y. M. CA
teams and settlement teams. The regi-
ment class comprise teams representing
regiments, which are members of the
Military Athletic League. The Y. M. c,
A class represents teams of Y. M. C. AS
which are actually members of the Ath-
letic League of North America. The
settlement class is that made up Of
teams representing houses which are
