...Committee of the I. C. A. A. A. A. in regard to the registration demands of the A. A. U. brings the question of the registration of college athletes to a climax, and we believe clearly defines college feeling. From the beginning a rule making it necessary for an amateur athlete recognized as such by the I. C. A. A. A.

U., that college athletes in good standing must be provided with its amateur certificates before competing in games held under its auspices has caused much dissatisfaction in the I. C. A. A. A. A. The objections were that the fee of one dollar was enough to keep many novices from competing and, more important, that it seemed absurd for amateurs approved by college athletic committees to be forced...
