"Membership in the LaSalle Athletic Association Is open to all graduates, former students and supporters of the school," Gunther added, "and all money derived from the campaign will be turned over to the school's general fund rather than used to finance sport teams. LaSalle's teams were self-supporting last year and we hope to have receipts meet expenses during the 1937-38 terms." After receiving a report on the recent meeting at which eligibility requirements and other regulations to govern the competition of AUe- gany, LaSalle and Fort Hill for the Chamber of Commerce football, basketball, baseball and track trophies were adopted, the association adopted a resolution approving LaSalle's participation under the rules outlined.
