the following games and pastimes and
yet retain their amateur status: Cricket
rugby football, association football, base
ball. hockey, lacrosse, lawn tennis and
tennis.
In golf. boxing. wrestling or fencing
an amateur may compete against pro-
fessional in friendly competition only
provided no prizes are offered or COM
peted for or no gate money taken, ex-
ceptlon only being made In byes for
wrestling, boxing and fencing competi-
tions. But In all cases professionals in
each sport shall be considered profes-
sionals in swimming. Billiards or SINH
lar indoor amusements shall not be con-
sidered athletic games or exercises"
