"In some quarters," said President Bowen, "amateurism Is looked upon aa petav Insistence on details to the extent of Injuring sport." Discussing the college practice of scout Ing, or recruiting athletes, Mr. Bowen said that In the east athletes are re cruited often without the knowledge of the school authorities. "In the west," he said, "the practice la sometimes open, or with tacit approval. "An amateur athlete la one who par tlclpates In competitive physical sports only for the pleasure and physical, men tal, moral and social benefits directly derived therefrom." This definition was offered to the Athletic Research society by a committee which since Ml has con sidered the exact meaning of the word "amateur." Brawa's He pert. The report presented by John Brown, Jr., of New York, listed three ways In which an athlete might bar himself from tha ranks of amateurs. First, by teach ing or coaching professional athletea for pay! second, by competing under salary or fee, and third, by competing for a cash prise or for a stake bet. A middle position for those not strictly professional athletea was suggested by the committee, which classed aa "non competing amateurs" those who have 'maintained their status aa amateurs ex cept having been engaged for pay aa In structors In amateur athletics. Coaches In high schools, colleges, clubs and Toung Men's Christian association playgrounds were classed under the head, "non-competing amateurs" by the committee. Late Bowling Scores Hooater Leasee.

Mr. Mitchell said that In the schedule of compensation 664 per cent la not too high. When the operation of the law has settled to a firm basis of administration he said it will entail little or no added burden upon the Industries of the state.
