REFORMS IN COLLEGE
SPORTS AGREED upon
Close of the |. A. A. A. Annual
Meeting in New York.
A Combination to Include Yale,
Harvard, and Pennsylvania.
Keith Donaldson, of Princeton,
Elected President - Hut Few
Changes in the Bylaws.

New York, Feb. 25.-Reform was the
at the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate
A. A A., held in the Fifth Avenue Hotel
this evening. The situation, badly mixed
as it was at the end of the executive and
advisory committee meeting Friday night,
was cleared up at an extra session held
this morning, at which Harvard insisted
for some time on the amendments present
ed by her representatives.
After long discussion concessions were
made by the trainers of the University Of
Pennsylvania amendments and a combina-
ton formed, including Harvard, Yale, and
Pennsylvania, by which a majority Of dele
gates were brought into line on the princi-
pal subjects involved. ]. P. B. Duffy and
J. Z. Milligan represented Georgetown at
the conference.
After the minutes of the previous annual
meeting were read Hamilton College was
elected 10 membership and her representa-
tives allowed to vote. The following insti-
tutions, In arrears with their dues, were
dropped from the roll: Boston University,
Brown California, Iowa, Lehigh, Leland
Stanford, Michigan, Pennsylvania State
College, Wesleyan, and Wisconsin.
The routine business disposed of, Gus
tavus T. Kirby chairman of the advisory
committee that prepared the amendments
to the constitution, reported the work
done by the committee and submitted the
amendments as altered and recommended
by the executive committee. The first i'm
portant change was an addition to article
z, providing for the appointment of a fac
ulty committee. The idea met with gen
eral favor, and was agreed to withou: dis
cussion in the following form:
The president OF the association, Immediately
after his election, shall appoint faculty com
mittee Of four, member being designated from
its faculty by each OF the four universities or
colleges making the highest scores in points at
the previous annual field meeting.
The rule curtailing the privileges en-
joyed by alumni provoked the first opposi-
ton. Harvard wanted everyone except
students barred from future meetings of
the association unless called in for advice
by two-thirds vote Of the association. II
was agreed that any member or former
member of an executive or advisory COM
mittee or any former officer shall be al
lowed to enter into discussion, but not to

Of the governors action:
"It is peculiarly Rooseveltian 1t is
most impudent, unjustified and unWar-
