The r.ew system provides for the following regulation of athletics ar William and Mary: The At: Association shall sti'l exist though its powers and duties will be some? what changed hythe introduction o' a governing body called the At: Council. This council shall consis* of six members, two professors, elected by the students, two students. one elected by the students, other appointed by the faculty. two other student members, one the president ot the Athletic Associa? tion and thc otker the er of the athletic team then carrying on its activities.

The ccunc'. eral supervision of athletics. Tts powers will be erurr.erated and in corporated in the cc Athletic Assoc* amended considerably. The solr idea and purpose of the committee is to work out a svstem of athletics lt iam and Marv which will rd cr rd it cr. thr ? | tatum, and it la hors with a desire to do nothing rad? ical but simply to cleave to idea? conceived by athletic authorities at other colleres and as applied to their system of athletics. At the r.rx* meeting of the Athlrtic Assor'atior the committee will have a full re? port to make. Intercollegiate Association. Dr. J. S. Wilson represented Wil? liam and Mary at the meeting of the representatives of the Virginia In? tercollegiate Association, Friday, in Richmond. The following is a brief account of the meeting published in next day's Times-Dispatch: "Representatives of the Vin Intercollegiate Association met last night at the Richmond Hotel. The constitution of the league was modi? fied and improved, conditions for clean athletics were taken up and passed. "Those present from their respect? ive institutions were C. P. Miles, Virginia Polytechnic Institute; Dr. Hall Canter and P. W. Buhrman. of Randolph-Macon; J. S. Wilson, William and Mary; Dr. W. L. Fous hee and Professor W. P. Dickey, of Richmond College; J. H. C. Win? ston, of Hampden-Sidney. "This meeting was of interest here lince Richmond College has consid? ered a withdrawal from the associa ion unless steps were taken in the lirection of a revision of several of te mks of tbe league." J The basketball team returned Sun dav afternoon in good shape after hard fight with the strong Vir ^ team. The following is the account of the game published in the Times-Dispatch: Charlottesville. Va.. January 16? Virginia's basketball team opered the season auspiciously tonight by defeating the strong William and Mary College quint 25 to 19. From the tap of the gong in the second half the plav was fast and furious. The Williamsburg players showed a complete reversal of form, and after ten minutes of play had come within four points of tieing the score. The visitors were at a disadvan? tage, in that they had not played under intercollegiate rules, which al? low dribbling. Altogether, the amsburg quint showed clever team work, in which their signals played an important part. Line up: Virginia. Position. W. & M. May R. F Di Cocttrar. I- P Hughes Savant Center Hal! R.

Dr. Rogers, minute ha. - Under the heading of "Wants I," the fol ap D Sunday's Times-Dispatch gard to Richmond College ? from the Eastern Collegiate Association: "Richmond College Ar ? sociation will hold a special meeting next Wednesday in the college chap? el to determine whether it shall v. draw from the Eastern Collegiate Association of the smaller colleges of :he State. At a mee* was proposed that a withdrawal be con iidered and any definite action be rostponed until a later date. The le favor * the students and was hrought ver. ely to pass. *e reasons were given : appears that the local ins* ion expects to be out of the cl ^_es in the league rth the coming growth and rebuild ~?. by which the J rams will be placed in the rank ot ie larger colleges of the State. decision can hardly come ny too soon, as the schedules are ompleted for the remainder of the eason and the football rates wi!! oon be taken under consideration *>r next fall. A withdrawal would also mean ie loss of the interesting champion lip contests that have drawn a Dod following in this city, and hich have been noted for their ean playing and good spirit." The article states that no definite asons have been given for the ove, but that Richmond College rpects to be placed in the rank of e larger institutions. Richmond is ot course a perfect right so far I we know, to withdraw from the ague, but we do not see where any 'finite reasons for doing so can be ven. A backward look into its story in athletics certainly does >t seem to warrant any such a lange. In fact during the past w years, judging by the scores in e games with the smaller colleges, would seem that Richmond has id all that it could do to maintain position among these srnilier col- j jes. We cannot see whv R?cn- j *>nd expects to be out of the class the smaller colleges, but it may j that there are some reasons which - I fail to see, and it mav be chmond will be rated in the rank ' larger institutions, out. in wisn ; her all luck should such a change * effected, we ted constrained r.
