eks u s. Athletic Cooperation Golf Merger Question Still Alive
PADDOCK CASE Will
BE N. C. A. A. TOPIC

ATLANTA, Ga, December 27.-Del-
egates from most Of the major COL
leges are here today for the annual
convention of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association. The sessions
will close late tomorrow and are to
be followed with a meeting Saturday
of foot ball coaches from many lead
ing American educational institu-
tions.
One of the most important matters
expected to come up during the con-
ventfon Of the collegiate association
is the case of Charlie Paddock. Pad
dock. champion sprinter. has been
barred from the American team for
the Olympic games at Paris by the
Amateur Athletic Union and the n.
Z. A. A. has named him as one of the
prospective participants.
The following are among the speak
ers listed on today's program:
Gen. Palmer E. Pierce. president OF
the association; James r. Angel,
president of Yale University; {: w.
Savage, president OF Oberlin College.
and George l.. Dawson, president of
the international Y. NJ. c. A. College.
The report of the secretary and
treasurer and reports Of district COM
mittee chairmen were other matters
expected to be reached during the
first day.
1t was not believed that the conven-
tion would hear the reports of stand
ing committees before the opening
of the second day of the sessions.
Election of officers and new bus
mess were listed toward the end of
the program.
Those to make reports from the
various districts are: first district:
Prof. c. w. Mendell, Yale Univer-
sity; second district. Prof II. y. Lin
dali, Rutgers College: third district.

One would have to be skilled in such
elements of debate as sophistry, ter
giVersation and other evasive factors
to prove this contention erroneous
L. s. G. A. does represent Uncle Sam
at the court of st. Andrew; or. to put
it more clearly. the voice OF the L. s.
@. A. is the voice that speaks to Eng
land.
Dominated by British.
And here would seem to be the
strongest brief that the western golf
organization holds against the other
body. the claim being that in the
politics of international play we are
dominated by the English. Such tech
n1cal matters as the stymie. out-of-
bounds regulations and putters and
punched and ribbed clubs and the like
are held as evidence proving this fact.
IL the westerners cannot break this
entente between the L. S. G.. A. and
England by sniping tactics, they
might through amalgamation of the
two bodies. Thus, the point OF this
merger talk is made clear. What will
happen in this regard, If anything
will be made clear at the Hotel Astor
in this city on January 4-5.
An interesting factor in the situa-
tion is the fact that the executive
committee Of the United States Golf
Association just now contains a ma
jority of members affiliated with
western and southern clubs. II this
committee sponsors the amalgama-
tion, as is predicted will be the case,
then the annual meeting should de-
velop into a major engagement.
Those who are deeply concerned in
the complete NATURALIZATION OF
American golf will undoubtedly stand
back of any project designed to make
this ambition a matter of fact as
well as matter of name.
At the same time no one can say
aught of the governing authorities
of the l.. S. c. A. than that they
have been self sacrificing. kindly and
benevolent. This being so, there Will
be sympathy for any fight the old
guard makes in behalf of the tntes-
rity of the organization at the an
nual meeting-even though unanl-
nous support be lacking.

The Philippine Federation in scope
