represented the U. of Ga.and Johns
Hopkins University. Tin* delegates
immediately got down to work and
drew up the constitution in regard
to inter collegiate athletic games.
The organization was called the
Southern Iliter-collegiate Athletic.
Association, and elected Mr. W. L
Dudley, President; Mr. It. R Mc-
Millan, Vice President, and Dr. C.

An executive committee, was elected,
consisting of the three above otti-
eers. The constitution will be sub
mitted to the different Southern col
leges for their approval, and as soon
as that is done, a schedule of games
will be HxeJ upon for the coining
fool ball and base ball season.
There is no doubt that the result of
ibis convention will mean much for
the improvement of Athletics in
Southern colleges.
