Supervising principals and boys from
schools In every section Of the Dis
trict are today discussing with I'M
wonted enthusiasm healthy athletics
and as a result there promises TO be
thoroughly organized forms Of exercise

The activity is the direct result OF the
move inaugurated at a luncheon at the

Of proposed school teams were the
guests Of the managers Of the Federal
games
The charge has been made that the
Federal games are conducted wholly as
a money making affair, without regard
to the encouragement Of athletics in
any particular institution The feel

was openly claimed that the two local
universities as well as the high schools
would place a ban on the games This
was however, found 70 be untrue and
the indications now are that the games

Nothing the managers Of the Federal
games have ever done has proven as
praiseworthy as the meeting yesterday.
IL really marked the inauEura ticn- Of a
campaign for the announcements Of
athletics among the younger boys OF
this city. Between the playground time
and the entrance into the high schools.
the boys OF this city have been left
practically to themselves so far as
legitimate sport was concerned. but now
that the Y VI. c. A, through the Fed

those who would see proper athletics
