...HAA has approached this scheme with reluctant support. In spite of its similarity to the House set-up and the welcome it has received among the participants, it does not have the same advantages as the House League. Although the HAA supplies equipment and referees as it does for the Houses, and Intramural Director Samborski contributes his help, there is no provision for trophies or managers' salaries. House athletic secretaries receive $150 per year and their assistants, $50, from the HAA. The freshman secretary's salary is paid from spare Union funds, and the team managers receive nothing.

Even Mr. Norris has failed to mention all the technicalities; for instance, in cross-country, the first three places in the H-Y-P meet receive major letters. It is also true that Mr. Bingham and his staff are currently aware of the problem, but they have been aware...
