eitard ruling in relation to our track meet i would not be responsible isible for copying anything reflecting upon him when to the best of my und ind belief belia you nor bro da day have bave no ight

for lie he says t tj bro cooper regarding the ruling allowing one nian to enter in two contests would woul d say that tha 1 t this is is ill an arbri tary r ruling of your committee and alie there i r 0 is is no athletic law to warrant it lie he ulso also says basket ball should not no be counted in as a field sport in ill this you won sixteen points which you had no right to I 1 will not say hogged thein them but bro day turns liko liki tile the weather vun van and says says but after talking r with lawn hinckley it seems to nie me ta the ruling is an exec excellent one wily why does lie thus reverse himself and infers that lawn hinckley Hin ekley is is responsible for the backward turn which A lie has made ili abc now if bro hinesley Hin ekley has ex pres pressed sd himself by any language conveying the idea that tile the young and should not be required to compete with the star athletes I 1 ani am of this opinion myself but bro ro days datys nor anine mine nor pros pres Mack loys does not govern in our track tra alc meets it may ho be considered lie necessary ess ary to have our athletic sports classified so aali athlete can compete hia bis hwn grade but this is no reason that bro 11 Hinck leys name naine should allive been used in tho the way it lias has been I 1 have too much respect for bro Uin ekley to copy his name to please bro day or finlinson as 3 1 said before without his hie consent now bro Finlinson this is tut a small matter but it will give us an experience which is valuable if we make it a proper use use of it if my friends point ouch auto nie me my
