The feeling against the New York A. G. ut-
| i2ing all the crack college athletes. which has
been growing stronger every day. has culm-
| mated in m ovement on the part OF the smaller
| clubs in the Metropolitan district and caucus
| will be held tonight OF the opponents OF what
| is styled the "graboloGy" policy OF the big
club The meeting will be held with the idea
OF drafting resolutions to be submitted to the
annual meeting OF the Metropolitan Assoca-
ton on Monday. suggesting amendm ents to
the constitution OF the A. A. U. The spirit
among the smaller clubs Ia decidedly antagon-
istic. and as the New York A. c. representa-
tives are likely to resist any serious encroach-
ment on the privileges they now enjoy. there
is every prospect OF lively legislative tussle
at the annual meeting OF the A. A. L. when the
amendments will come up for discussion.
The success Of the triple meet OF last Sum
day held independently OF the large organza-
tons and the growing consciousness OF the
power Of their votes have made the delegates
holder. and they are more determined than
ever to clip the wings OF the premier club.
Tho principal point OF attack will DO the
clauses Of the constitution which exempt un.
dergraduates from nearly every one Of the
conditions OF competition.
Under these clauses the New York A. c. has
had the right to enroll among its members all
the crack college athletes and by this m cans
have swept the board OF nearly all the cham.
plonships held this year. The other clubs In
the Metropolitan district are particularly IN
censed over the feature OF this exemption that
allows undergraduates not members Of the
district to compete for association champion
