NEW YORK, Jan IS - Is the
Amateur Athletic union becoming
mere fgurehead in amateur athletic
affairs in the United States2
The general impression always
has been that the A a L. is the
governing body in athletic affairs in
the United States: That its rules
are the standard laws; that all am
ateur bodies must be governed by
its dictate.
But such is not the case. The
golfng and tennis associations make
their own laws. overriding those Of
the A. A. U. as they please: the
college authorities make theirs. All
Of them practically ignore the A. A.
L. in the drafting Of it's laws
The A. A. u. rules are, in the OPP
inion Of the collegiate. tennis and
gOldng authorities. too narrow" So
they have drafted rules that are
broader. and by so doing have taken
issue with the A. A. L.
\. \. Us Definition
Article 10 of the A A. u. rules
reads as follows:
An athlete becomes n profession
al if ne enters competition open to
a professional or knowingly COM
petes against a professional
Further along there is this line:
"A single professional on a team
makes that team a professional"

other amateur golfers nave competed

In the fall OF 1915 he was assigned

The A. A. L. rule says that "a sin

Therefore. the Trinity team became
a professional OUTFIT. The rules
states that an athlete becomes a pro-

team that played Trinity must have
been aware of the fact that Brick

that team a professional one and
that its action in playing against

Informal Inquiries
The Russian, French and Spanish
ambassadors inquired personally at
the state department during the day as
to just what action had been taken by
this country. Secretary Lansing ex-
planned that while the interests Of the
Belgian government at Berlin were
represented by Spain. the United
States, particularly the American re-

interest in the Belgian people. While
no formal protest had been sent to Ger

with the idea Of suggesting unofficially
any possible amelioration of the condi.,

"2-If it is constitutional what does
it mean?
Opinions have been expressed by
prominent authorities that the law is
unconstitutional and there are con-
flicting opinions as to how the law if
constitutional, should be applied.
Therefore, the railroads must, as
matter Of duty, ask the courts if the
law is within the power of Congress.
1t is a duty they owe not alone to the
owners of these properties, but also
the public that provides the revenues
for the payment of wages.
IF the law is declared constitution
al it is expected that the courts will
make clear it's meaning. and the rail-
ways it is unnecessary to say, will
faithfully follow the instructions of
the courts. In bringing these suits
throughout the country the railroads
have no desire to delay action or to
resort to technicalities. The railroads
are anxious to have a speedy decision
on the points at issue. These separate
suits are necessary to protect the in
dividual roads. A single suit would
