New York, February 26.-Therc was
a lively discussion over the summer
| baseball question at the meeting OF
the 1nterschoiastic Association at the
waldorr-Astoria to-day. When the
regular business was finished and
! Pennsylvania had secured the honor OF

i ships for the year. and Syracuse had
1 been promised the meet for 1911, w. n.
Il Golden, the physical director of Penn
sylvania State College. arose and asked
that Pennsylvania State be admitted
! to membership. This Immediately
i brought on row over baseball, for
Mr.. Golden admitted that Pennsylvania
State boys played ball during the vaca-
ton period for money. So well did he
defend this custom that Pennsylvania
state was unanimously admitted to
membership.
The first question fred at Mr.. Golden
was by Mr.. Kirby. of Columbia. 1t
was: isn't 1t true you allow your men
to play summer professionally base
ball?"
Yes replied Mr.. Golden, 1--WE allow
our men to play summer basebali.
You know and T know that college
man who plays baseball plays 1t for
the love of the game, and we throw
nothing in the way of his playing
summer baseball il he plays 1t well
enough to play it for professional pur-
poses for whatever he can get out OF
lit in the summer. And we intend TO
allow our baseball men to play sum-
mer baseball. l know of three of the
colleges of the so-called big six now
represented here who have played
summer baseball with our men. We
| try to be on the level and on the
I square and to play in the open at
Pennsylvania State-that' all. You can
rest assured that we will not permit
any of our, baseball men who play base
| ball to go on the track
