PLAN FOR SCHOOL SPORTS.
Colored Public Schools Athletic
League Expects Successful Season.

Plans for an active year are now being
made by the officers of the Colored Public
Schools Athletic League, which was or
Sanzed last year. The officers will en-
courage intraschcol and intraclass
athletics this year more than interschool
and intereiass athletes. This is in direct
line with the policy of a large number of
the school authorities and members of
the board OF education, who believe that
more ultimate good viii result from
games and sports between members of
the same school or same class rather
than between members of different schools
or different classes.
One of the features which is said to be
brought out by the intraschool system
of athletes is the participation of a
large number of children in the various
sports. whereas in the interschool sys-
tenn only limited number are able to
participate. Also it is claimed that the
spirit of rivalry between contestants is
more friendly when the games are be-
tween members of the same school or
same class. The school athletic league
was declared a success at the end of last
YEAR but the officials of the league de-
clare that the prospects for greater sue
cess this year are very good.
