After a few tempestuous days the

Today there are the usual number Of
developments. but so much has been said
and written that a better comprehension
Of the rules and procedure OF the

aimed by those who were most active
IN both sides Of the controversy.
It now appears that until yesterday
here were many who did not know that
he officers Of the association for this
jurisdiction were elected, that Washing
ton had representation, that annual
meetings were held, that the reg!stra-
ton committee is elected not appointed.
that when a sanction IS obtained by a
college or club It is in the form Of a
contract in which it Is agreed that the
rules of the a A u. viii be upheld at

facts in the constitution and bylaws Of

With the explanation Of the true cJde

world, a light has commenced to dawn
upon the most violent agitctoTs and the
indications now are that the pyrCtecl-

The fact that the a. A. L. has Iegiti-
