A. A. L. Indoor Meet

Everything is In readiness for the
big indoor meet of the Academic Ath-
letic league tomorrow night, and los
athletes from IA different schools await
Referee John Elliott's word to start In
the events.
There are II events on the program,
and it is impossible to pick a single
winner in advance, which means some
exceedingly close competition. Many
pick San Jose, winner of a number of
academic meets, last year, as tomor-
row nights winners, but there are so
many new men entered for the first
time that there is sure to be more
than one upset. Napa high, participi-
tating for the first time in league
track meet, is coming down with a
number of fast men. In Harris the
Napa boys claim to have an exceed
ingly fast sprinter and they look to
him to make good. Mission and Com
mercial of this city and Healdsburg
all~ claim to have good teams, while
the entries from Lick, Lowell, Peta-
luna. San Mateo and San Rafael also
figure to be among the point winners.
The winners of last year only re-
ceived ribbon prizes. but this year
silver bars will go to the first place,
men and bronze to second. An effort
is being made to secure cup for the
winning school.
The league hopes to make this
model indoor meet, and for that reason
has selected only experienced officials.

Berkeley high school. following out
suggestions of faculty member, has
voted to withdraw from all athletic
activities where medals or trophies are
offered as reward. This means that
Berkeley must withdraw from the Bay
Counties athletic league and merely
participate IN Qudl COnI0SIS III lHc
future. The matter has created much
dissension in the student body, and
from all accounts it will be difficult for
the college city school to keep its
teams together. The school is not a
member of the A. A. L., so that organ
ization will not be affected in any way,
but it will prove hard blow to the
Bay Counties organization, AS Berkeley
has always been a close second to Oak

The student body of Lick school has
decided to award block LIS inclosed in
circle to all men winning their
events in the weight system schedules.
demic league has notified Secretary
Sydney A.. Tibbets to warn all high
school athletes not to compete in any
of the athletic events Of the Sunday
Schools athletic league until that
organization becomes a member of the
Amateur Athletic union, thereby recog-
nizing organized athletics. President
Cloud is determined to promote clean
sport and to allow his athletes to COM
pete with registered athletes only. This
will cut out of athletics the best ath-
letes that the church organization has,
including William Smeltzer, Wayne
Farrar Ray Tooker, Harold Potter.
Eddie Alvarado and large number of
public school athletes. The Pacific
athletic association is in no way
antagonistic to the Sunday Schools
league, as it's officials were mainly in
strumental in formingthe organiza-
tion, but the rules of the Amateur Ath-
letic union are such that all unattached
amateur athletic bodies must handle
their athletic events according to the
registration regulations.
