little doubt but that it will be grant
ed He has been offered a desirable
position with the Spalding Sporting
Goods Company. with whom he was

The committee that engineered the

together in a meeting last night, but
officials who are prominent in the
association say that if he wants his
release no effort will be made to
retain him.
This leaves Alex Cunningham the
