COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

It would seem that the colleges
in the West are having trouble with
professionals in intercollegiate
baseball, with the result that several
of the larger institutions in that
section have adopted resolutions to
abolish the games, and to confine
the activities of the athletes to
games between classes.
While there is good to come from
these intercollegiate games, If pro-
perly safe-guarded, we are of the
opinion that it is next to impossible
to keep away from professionalism,
and that the institutions named have
acted wisely.
Because these sports are COM
mendable, they should be kept
clean; because they are productive
of development, mentally and ply
sically, they should be participated
in by the entire student body, and
this will come nearer accomplish
ment when the games are between
classes than when the games are be-
tween institutions. =.
