COLLEGE ATHLETES
. GRANTED RIGHT TO
COMPETE IN A. A. j.
South Atlantic Association
Removes Bars at Meet
ing in Baltimore.

At the annual meeting Of the South
Atlantic Association OF the Amateur
Athletic Union In Baltimore last night,
vote was carried whereby all college
athletes will be allowed TO participate
in games held under the sanctions Of
that association
Heretofore It has been against the
rules of the organization to allow ath-
letes who run on university teams to
enter the games over which the Ath-
letic Union has control.
The reason given for the rejection OF
these athletes was that they are in
many cases professionals. and SO the
college athletes as a whole were dis
eliminated against
This new ruling will undoubtedly
have tendency to strengthen the
Athletic Union by the addition of
many sprtnters, runners, and Jump
ers. The South Atlantic Association
only Is affected by this privilege.
At the instance Of a motion made by
Mr.. Thatcher. of the Washington Y.
NJ. c. A. II was voted that the next
annual meeting be held in Washing
ton. The local clubs that were repre-
sented were outnumbered by two to
one at last nights meeting by organi-
cations from Baltimore, but in spite

view Of the fact that the Marion hos

be proper to place him in the Staun-

The estimate, 1t Is understood. pro-
vides $4,000 for beginning work on the

propriation for these brildings.
Consideration also will be given In the
conference to the amount of the appro-
priations for the negro schools, which

between the Commissioners and the
Board Of Education, each alleging that
the elimination Of q certain item fol
schools for negro pupils In the estim-
mates for the present fiscal year was
due to the fault Of the other. Accord

peared in the collectors office and set

amounting to $4S.0l. representing five

money was Forthcoming, sufficient 10
