Any doubt as to the eligibility Of BERNARD J.
Wefers, tho international s%printinR champion,
was set at rest by II certificate from the faculty
Of Georgetown University. A similar docu-
mcnt was not forthcoming in the case Of
Thomas +. Burke. the International and
Olympic champion, entered from Boston Uni
versity. Pending the receipt OF the requisite
formal certificate Burke must run under
protest, but the committee seemed to think lie
was all right. Barclay of Lafayette was pro-
tested on professional charges and he will also
compete under protest.
The three Columbia wheelmen referred to in
THE SrN of yesterday AS riding at Manhattan
Beach under protest. and w. q. Douglass, Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania against whom charges
have been pending, were pronounced eligible
for their respective events.

drew the entry OF K. Is. hoffman,. The latter
was protested by the University of Rochester.
but the L.. OF =. men withdrew him before the
anidavits in the case were submitted The
pennsylvania representative explained thap
HoffmRn's entry was cancelled by the fac ulty,
as he was behind in his studies.
There was IA long debate on the eligibility"
question raised in the various protests. Tho
points discussed referred to the absences OF stu
dents touring on football. baseball. cycling. and
athletic teams, and the following resolution was
adopted:
While the Executive Committee is unanimously
opposed to the custom existing In some cob
leses in the association of permitting men 10
represent them after such men have left tho
than illness. they do not fcel justified in changing
the construction of Artcle IT. to render these men In.
eligible if the faculties OF the go ieges are willing to
certify thai such men have been In gooi aui r"guiar
The meeting adjourned to June IN, when all
the Executive Committee hope to handle ali
cases. where evidence IL forthcoming. on the
grounds to-day and Tomorrow.
After the nd adjournment Derr. Jamison and
Capt. Garrett of Princeton. were protested by
Georgetown. They will DO allowed to compete
subject to subsequent inquiry. .iainison and
Garrett were absent for some weeks on tho
Olympic campaign, and the foregoing resolu-
tion probably lets them out.
The rival teams from a distance were snugly
located in their city quarters last night. The
usual. patroniZed the Windsor; tho Cornell
combination put up at the New VI. A. G., while
the u. of p. team ensconced themselves at the
savoy.
