His first object will be to ouat William M. In glls, paid euperintendent of the Seattle Athletlo club, from the position of sec retary and chairman of the regiatra- xion commiuee oi (ne pacino jorin weet association. With the aid of the director of the P. N. A., who favor amateurism in all athletlo relatione, Morgan does not anticipate nard work. It le believed that Inglls will are the falsity of his position and immediately tender his resignation when the matter la put up to him. However, the dl rec to re nave the wnip nana and n ne doea not succumb to a little talk ha will be summarily thrown out Inglla may think .that since he was lectea. even tnougn it wae irregular) y done, he atlll controls enough votes to retain tne ornce ana win nave nis friends come to his rescue. In that event the pe refit organisation will step in, 'take complete charge of affalra, thoroughly - reorganise the association and blacklist the professionals and the ciuDa wnicn winx at protessionai metn ods.

Should the same condition continue-much longer under Inglls' sanction, amateur boxing and wrestling bouta will fall into dis repute. It is a notorious fact that box era and wrestlers have been Imported by the Spokane and Seattle Athletlo clubs to unhold tha "honor" of clubs. Just as soon as the profeaalonal ap peared in the ring and there are tew I who deny thaf aome of the entries reeked . with nrofessionalism. aouabbles commenced to arise. , Spokane reports contained accounts of a disgraceful scene enacted in the SDOkane Athletic club ring recently, in which two al leged professionals are said to have (grabbed chaira and started a rough thouse. Shortly previous an Ill-tempered attle Athletlo club boxer made a vicious pass at an- unprepared referee 'ho had given a decision against, the nugereni.

Amona 'Other thins: a asked for by Sullivan Is the elimination , of the Vancouver club. - the exnulslon of all professionals and the increasing of tha umber of cluba in the district PuJli- van wouia lane every ciut and college of stability within the fold and thua encourage and perpetuate amateurism to every portion of tha northwest.

The athletic council today decided to accept the proposition of the Oregon Agricultural college- to play the annual football gam In Portland this fall.

The 1109 gam will b played In ttugane. ., . , Portland follower of th great col lege gam will be-glad to learn of th decision of th University of Oregon athletlo council to consent to a game on th local checkerboard, uregon Agri cultural college and University of Ore- fon are the two largest Institutions in he state and it is fitting that the rams should b played in the metropo lis, which Is within easy distance of each college town. Th first gam will be entirely an experiment Oregon stipulates In the agreement that the gams the following Sear must be played in Kugene, out tils is probably to safeguard the uni versity's interest in the event that the game doea not prov th attraction It ahould be. However, football paid well in Port land laat season, collegiate, club and acholaatio team making good money. Oregon cleared about 11,000 on the game with the Untveralty of Idaho, the city school league team in th aggre gate made about $500 off tha season, atid the Multnomah club cleared over IS, 000 on Its gamea and grounds. From a financial standpoint the game should prove a success, but money does not always enter into collegiate ath letics. The campus gam arouses col lege spirit as no other means can. and the varsity's argument in favor of the retention of the former plan was a good one.
