Church Athletes With
Basketball League Help
to Religious Unity

An athletic novelty entirely new
in Harrisburg was fully organized
last night. namely, the Sunday School
League, which will include ten clubs
from progressive religious activities,
irrespective of creed. Clergymen of
Harrisburg expressed the opinion to-
cay that this movement, so unexpect-
ed and unusual, might mean great
deal for religious unity.
The election last evening resulted
in William Winn being chosen presi-
dent. with Emory Lutz, secretary and
treasurer. The president announced
that there were now ten churches in
the league and that five managers,
who would not be personally con-
cerned, would make all decisions that
were appealed.
The churches now represented are:
Stevens Memorial, Market Square
Presbyterian, Christ Lutheran. Hick-
AThrift, Methodist Club. Covenant
