FOR ALL SPORTS
South Atlantic Colleges Aim
to Develop Strong Intra-
sectional Competition.
BY n. c. BYRD.

A policy that will make the South
Atlantic intercollegiate Athletic As
sociation a big active organization
or cause it to disband was adopted
last night at a special meeting of
that body. in Richmond. The building
dp of a strong sectional spirit and
concerted action on the part of all
institutions in arrangement of COM
petition, adoption of eligibility rules.
and general oversight over all sports
is the new aim of the organization.
Az the meeting last night six insti-
tutions were represented. and follow
ing the meeting the executive board
of the association got together and
formulated a line of action. In con-
sideration of the attitude of the in
stitutions that had representatives
present and the attitude expressed in
letters by three other institutions un-
able to attend. it appears that the as
sociation should become a power
ful factor in athletics, practically
control collegiate sports in the south
Atlantic states, and develop a CO.
operative spirit of intrasectional COM
petition that has never existed
Plans were worked out for the adop-
league. 1t is too late to do anything

termined also to schedule the track
meets Tar enough in advance to give
the institutions something to look
forward to. The new ARRANGEMENT also
PROVIDES that no one field and school

hered TO. In consideration of the ef-
iorts HOPKINS men. Joe England in

organization going when il appeared
that 1t might founder on the rocks
