 I. A. A. MEETING.
 The annual meeting of the Intercol- leSiate Association of Track Athletes of America will be held on Saturday, February 26, at 2:30 o'clock in the Fifth Avenue hotel. New York city. The number of important amendments to the constitution and bylaws to be con- sidered make this meeting one of spec ial interest. The proposed changes are those submitted by the executive com mittee who recently held a meeting to its report. The committee consists of Henry w. Howe, Harvard; Oliver Shi- ras, Cornell: G. T. Kirby, Columbia, and s. K. Girard, Yale.
 The most important amendment pro- posed provides that every athlete pay the same amount for board at the training table as he was paying before taken to it. This rule has long been in vogue both at Yale and Harvard. Another amendment to be considered is
 the substitution of the three-mile run for the one mile walk.
 An amendment of the section in the constitution regarding the awarding of the championship cup has been pro-
 posed, to read as follows: 'In bicycle as well as field events, points shall be distributed as follows: A first place shall count five points, a second place shall count three points, a third place shall count two points, and fourth place shall count one point. There shall
 however, be no prize for fourth place." Another change provides that there
 shall be no pace makers in any of the bicycle races. Furthermore, it is pro-
 posed that the one-mile race shall fol-
 low the quarter-mile run, instead of preceding it. Several minor changes concerning the wording of the constitu- tion and bylaws will also be submit ted The question of the advisability of having a third-mile track built out side of the regular track at Berkeley Oval has also been discussed by the executive committee.
