MICHIGAN ATHLETIC BOARD
HITS ANN ARBOR LEAGUE
Refuses To Allow Students To
Play in City Baseball League
May Disrupt 1t

ANN ARBoR. May 1.-THE board
in control of Athletics at the university
struck the City Baseball league a
severe blow when II declined to allow
students who expect TO take part in
university athletics either on class or
varsity teams, to play on any OF the
teams in the league. Each of the six
teams in the league has five non-resi-
dent student players on its list, and
the action of the board may disrupt
the league.
j Professor Whitney stated that the
board felt that II was best for the uni
versity to enforce the strict eligibility
rules which govern the play OF the
various varsity teams Prior TO the
action OF the board students were al
lowed to play In the City league under
the same eligibility rules which gov
ern competition In the university.
Under this rule any student who did
not have more than one ICON" could
play, hut under the present ruling
some OF the most promising baseball
players in college will be barred from
the City league.
Since none OF the players receive
compensation and no admission TO
the games is charged, II Is believed the
board has established a record for en-
forcement Of eligibility rules.

Its opposition to all forms of selishness
that causes contention and confii
among men and nations. plutocrats an
proletariats. politicians and people. is TIE
character of Christ. The religion of Jesus
rises and falls with the character Of it's
founder. In this Christianity is unique.
The prophet has given TO us a wonderful
description of the life of our Lord. whose
birth the nations of the earth will soon
celebrate. Looking down the centuries
Isaiah saw the character OF our Master.
In the seventh chapter he gave a vague
vision of the child that was to be born
to virgin and be called Emmanuel God
with us)-a title of Jesus that tells ex-
actly His divine-human personality.
Nearly $50 years before His advent the
prophet saw the entrance Of God into
human life.
Christs entrance into the life Of men
revealed not only the Father to men,
but the infinite value of men, The life
that He lived, SO that He has been called
Wonderful Counselor" Mighty God"
Everlasting Father and prince of
Peace" has revealed to men the fact
that man is the child Of God. The key
to the solution of the problem OF social
justice, economic freedom and the de-
struction forever Of the war god among
men depends upon all men following the
example of Christ, who emptied Himself
of His glory to take the form of q serv-
ant. AS the poet puts It:
This is the Gospel of Labor-ring Il, - bsns Ct
the kirk:
The Lord OF love
Came down from above
To live with the men who work.
There is no ascent of life from the lower
to the higher In biology. sociology or
theology unless the lower Is touched by
the life from above. Self-sacrifice, sub
jugation and surrender is the path TO
permanent peace, progress and power
No theory for the salvation of society can
ever work but for the realization Of their
hopes unless it is based upon the truths
taught by the incarnation of the Son of
God into humanity. Power intoxicates
and brutalizes no less when IL Is hal
lowed by the name of religion than when,
as in modern materialism, II Is blindly
interpreted by physical force" Only the
people who have first learned to know
their Deity intimately in the private af-
fairs of life, where heart touches heart,
lean share IN extending the kingdom OF
heaven among men," we have seen In
our study.
The character of Jesus forbids His
classification among men. We are with
out excuse If We do not line up with
Him in seeking to extend the power OF
the Prince of Peace as the Savior. servant
and sovereign of the world. We cannot
fulfill our obligation to men and our duty
to God unless we become members of
His kingdom by taking our stand for
Him. We must be either for or against
Him.
