MONTREAL, June l-(By _tli'e Canadian Pram-The Montreal Amateur Athletic Association has withdrawn from senior football,‘ but the championship teem in the In- terprovincial ltugby Union (the big four) willcoritinue under thaname of the Montreal Football Club. An- nouncement to this effect was made today by the directors of M. A. A. A. The chanse. the directors, stated, was more one of name than. of fact. The Montreal Football Club has long been affiliated with the M. A. A. A. and used that organiza- tion's crest the "Winged Wheel," but it was separately controlled by a group of football enthusiasts and the directors of the M. A. A. A. did not interferowith them or attempt to exercise control. "Although the teem has been successful in winning the Domin- ion. championship during the past year, it had become very clear that the operation of the ‘big four‘ teem had become a tremendous under- taking requiring an immense amount of time and attention end a very substantial expenditure. Un- der , ‘ financial conditions the directors do not feel that the As- sociation should any longer take the risk of sustaining losses. More- over, thaaims of the Association are to "provide healthy sports and recreations zfor its members rather

As to the derivation of the name it is ascribed to one of the track trainers who has en unaffected flair for whimsical expressions and dry wit. Quietly listening to the discus- sion one dsy, when the comment on certain horses was far from com- plimentary, this trainer hum us- ly interrupted the debate with the remark "Ibis stand is becoming a knockers roost" and as Knockers Roost it has been known ever since. But be not deceived by the un- derlying note of sarcasm, because those who are accepted members of the little circle of which Knock- ers Itoost is the headquarters, are men wise in the ways of horseflesh.
