TENNIS LEADERS TAKE

NEW YORK. December rc.---Am"-
teurism, a problem that has made
trouble for .ehnis players ior many
years. was the principal topic of dis

Association opened.
Various committees, one of which
had the amateur question for settle
ment and another the problem of the
seeded draw. were called into con-
ference. Their findings will be sub
mitted TO the executive committee
for final action tomorrow.
In regard to the amateur ruling.
! the officials this year are concerned
with the idea of compelling tennis
stars to forbid the use of their names
in connection with the advertising of
, tennis goods, and barring players
from writing tennis articles. The Off

Inquiries of officials at both univer-

bright for successful conclusion OF
arrangements already begun.

President Albert F. Woods of the
University of Maryland gave out a
formal statement this morning in re-

afternoon papers which indicates that
he regards the athletic situation be-
tween the two universities rather op-
timistically. President Woods state
ment was as follows:
President Goodnow and have
talked informally about the possibil-
