An investigation is to be started i'm
mediately by the South Atlantic Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association to de-
termine the advisability of organizing
"a basket ball league, the league to be
composed of teams representing insti-
tutions composing the organization
Some work was done along this line in
1914, but nothing definite came of it; it
seems though, that the majority of
those connected with the association
are DESTROYS of seeing a league of this
kind put through.
Last night at the annual meeting of
the body in Baltimore there was a de-
cided sentiment in favor of bringing
about definite control and Capitalization
of interest in all athletics in the South
Atlantic section. 1t was felt. too, that
this could be started by initiating some
move to organize basket ball league
A QUESTIONABLE soon is to be forwarded
to all colleges in the section. and ii
will be something of surprise if a
|1919-1920 season.
1t seems to be the sentiment among
most of the schools that athletics should
be carried out with definite programs
as lar as possible curing the "nOle
war. V. p. LIS representative stated
that. with the exception of the Cniver-
sity of Virginia, practically every COL
|lege in Virginia expected to continue
its athletics. Virginia Military Insti-
tute made informal application for

before the next annual meeting. All
members Of the association are In good
standing, and the association now is
composed of University of Virginia.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Rich
mond College, Washington and Lee Uni
versity, Maryland State College. John
Hopkins University, st. Johns College,
University of North Carolina, George
town University, Catholic University.
George Washington University and
Georgia Tech.
This afternoon at Homewood Field in
Baltimore the annual track and field
games are to be held. The affair. owing
to Withdrawals of two schools that had
entered and the inability of others to
take part. has developed into a dual
meet between Hopkins and George
town.
Following are the officers elected for
the ensuing year: H. c. Byrd of Mary
land State. president: Charles V. Ber-
nier of Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
first vice president: Charles r. Cox of
Georgetown, second vice president; c.
T. Leber of Johns Hopkins, secretary
