Columbia Athletic
Policy Is Attacked

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Columbia
University is to-day stirred up by
the attack made on the Athletic As
ISOLATION officials by The Spectator,
the college paper. An editorial de-
nounced the policy of the athletic
association as being impracticable
unjust and ineffective.
The Spectator says: I'VE may as
we'll admit that it is impossible to
give a man his moneys worth without
football. 1t is necessary, then, that
the lack of this sport at Columbia be
made up by other advantages given
by membership. A member has no
participation whatever in the affairs
of the Athletic Association. In this
respect the new system of choosing
managers by appointment rather than
election has made matters worse"
