the college to get Trinity out OF the
Southern intercollegiate Athletic as
ISOLATION. and to get into some asso-
citation that would enable the college
team to compete with the various col

Trinity's effort to get out OF this asso-
citation IL based on two reasons. first,
the student body ~ DESTROYS that the
college pull out, and there In a strong
sentiment here in favor Of the move;
second, the probability OF forming q
State association that would keep out
and thus enable Trim
ity and other colleges TO compete on
an equal footing.
The sentiment Of the student body
is almost unanimous in favor Of the
withdrawal. There has been for a
number of years an undercurrent of
thought among the students Of the
college that Trinity was not gaining
anything by holding membership in
thu association. The intents and pur-
poses of the 8. l.. A. A. In to pre-
vent any tinge OF professionalism in
