COLLEGE ATHLETICS
WILL Be CONTINUED
Graduate Managers of Fourteen Uni
versities Discuss Present
Conditions.

NEW YORK, May 26.-An informal
conference of graduate managers and
athletic representatives of fourteen
universities and colleges discussed the
present condition of college athletics at
a meeting held here today. While these
representatives had no power to bind
their several institutions, the discus
sion brought out the fact that it was
the sense of those present that college
athletics should be continued. Many
notifications of the usual system were
discussed, although no conclusion was
reached.
1t was decided to request the execu-
tive committee of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association, which has
announced a meeting of that commit
tee to be held at Washington some time
next August to consider these same
matters. to make the meeting a general
one of all members of the association,
because the subject is of such great
Importance that all members should
have an opportunity to present their
opinions. 1t was thought that by Au-
gust, and at such a meeting, much of
interest would doubtless be advanced
and definite policy might be formu-
lated.
