of their banishment from organized

leader in the infamous deal of 1919, is
another possible member OF the new

South amateur golf championship in
the play-off at eighteen holes this at
ternoon. Merriman's card was rs to
AdaT's 76. Both Adair and Merriman
won their second round matches in the

they may meet again for the champion
ship, as they are in different brackets
IN the match play.
Adair started in the aIay-of with a
brilliant 3 at the first hole, where he
hit two wooden shots 20 within Two
feet of the pin. AIernman got level
on the third Dy getting a birdie 8 to

mans two. Each took at the twelfth
and at the thirteenth Merriman picked

soft sand twenty yards off the green.
Young Adair finished strong, picking
up shot at the fourteenth. seven

70 sink 6-foot putt on the home green
to prevent Adair squaring with him.
The victor's second shot was way be-
yond the green and so close to the
clubhouse that he could not swing com
fortably at the ball. and ran his third
20 yards beyond the green. His fourth
left him the putt. Adair was dead"

". Y. U. Breaks Of
All athletic Ties
With Steuens Teams
CAPTAIN HENRY G. HATH.

4 CAPTAIN HENRY G. HATHA-
WAY. director of athletics Mt
New York University, announced
yesterday afternoon that the Violet
college has severed athletic rela-
tions with Stevens Institute. This
action resulted from long line of
disagreements between the two in
stitutions and was precipitated by
the breaking of two-year basket
ball agreement by the athletic au-
thorities at the Institute. The ath-
letic directors at N. Y. L. voted at
meeting yesterday to break off
relations
The \. Y. L. students were dis
pleased with TIE action of the Ste
vens team in the basketball dispute
and acted as body in the decision
to end intercollegiate competition.
They put the matter before the ath-
letic council. The baseball game
and the track meet scheduled this
spring will be Cancelled. The track
meet, which was to be triangular
affair with Amherst, will be rear
ranged and Haverford probably will
be invited to take the place of
Stevens.
With the New Workers off their
schedule Stevens finds itself with
out rival in the metropolitan dis
trict. Fordham was first to sever
relations and in 1919 Columbia
dropped the Institute. City College
has never encountered the Hoboken
athletes.

TORONTO, April THE executive
committee of the Canadian Association
Of Amateur Oarsmen announced to-day
it had been decided to hold the annual

on July 20 and 80.
1t was said that, while the Canadian
association realized that these dates
conficted with the United States titu-
lar regatta to be held at Buffalo on the
same days, it had been found almost
impossible TO change the dates, owing
to arrangements previously made by
oarsmen to race at the end of July.
