nent college quintets were disquali-
fed by the A. A. U. for playing the
unregistered Crescent Club, of Brook
Ign.
Through their playing with an I'M
registered and disqualified team, the
st. Lawrence University five, last
Saturday night the basketball team of
New York University has paved the
way for its disqualification by the
registration committee of the Metro
politan Association of the A. A. u,
which has yet to take action on the
case.
st. Lawrence was suspended from
further competition with registered
teams on December 9 by order of the
chairman of the committee, who
warned all clubs and teams aligned
with the union that by their par
ticipation with such teams they would
open themselves to disqualification.
