EMORY STUDENTS
RESUME FIGHT
FOR ATHLETICS
(By Cranston Williams.)

(By Cranston Williams.)
Emory College. Oxford, Ca, Nov. Is.
Keen interest among the Emory col
lege students is felt in the campaign
being waged by the students of Trinity
College, the prominent North Carolina
Methodist institution, to arouse inte.-I
collegiate football because of the SIM
ilarity of conditions at the two colleges
and the likeness of the campaigns
Trinity is carrying on to the plans
used by the Emory students last
spring.
The board of trustees of Emory re-
fused to allow the students to partic;-
pate in intercollegiate athletics by al
vote of Is to IA, and even before the
outcome had become generally known
the retiring chairman of the student
committee, J. E. Mathews, of vidalia,
had appointed new committee 10
serve through 1914, and carry on
the campaign.
Since the last annual meeting of the
trustees in June two new members
have been added to the board. They
are ], B. Wight, OF Fort Valley, and
Thomas Whipple Conally, of Atlanta.
The latter is the alumni trustee, being
selected after vote by the alumni as
sociation. 1t is not known what their
views are on the question.
The students committee that now has
the work in charge is composed Of
Harold Saxon, of Gainesville, Grams
ton Williams, of Greensboro, H. c. So
wells, of Lake Park, Walton Stroller,
o. Savannah, and B. c. Kitchens, of
Oxford. The last named committee
man has withdrawn from college, but
his place will be filled before the &C
rive work begins.
The Emory students are also watch
ing the approaching session of the
North Georgia Conference, at Elberton
on November Oath, as it is thought
the question of intercollegiate athlet-
les will be brought up. 1t has been
taken up by almost every district con-
ference in the state, some of which
went on record as being opposed to in
tercollegiate athletics, while others re-
fused to take action which was con-
sidered by the students as another vic
tory.
Emory College is the joint property
of the North and South Georgia, and
Florida conferences, and it is very like
ly that the intercollegiate athletic sit
uation will come up before them at
their session this fall.
The conditions at Trinity and Emory
are very similar, they both being Meth
odist institutions, and have prominent
benefactors some of whom are opposed
to the proposed system of athletics,
while others heartily favor it.
Both sides of the question have strong
champions among the alumni of En-
DRY, the friends of the college and the
ministers who compose the three cor
ferences which own the college.
The Emory students are living in
stronger hopes of their cause because
of the general agitation of the ques- +
ton, which has involved much COM
ment among the ministers and been
freely discussed in some of the church
organs.
