THE Y. M. C. A. SPRING MEET

It looks now as if the intercollegiate
Association of American Amateur Ath-
letes will shortly adopt plan long since
found profitable by the National Associa-
tion Of Amateur Oarsmen, and that is to
change from year to year the location of
running off the intercollegiate champion
ships. Adopting such plan would un-
Goubtedly result in great profit to athlct-
les as ii would spread the interest in the
sport.
The annual meet up to this time has al
ways been held in New York city and not
withstanding the magnificent contests, the
attendance has always been disappoint-
ing.
AT a meeting held a year ago the con-
stitution was amended so that the asso-
citation championships could be held
wherever the executive committee de-
cided This year the matter has been left
largely to Manager L. B. Ellis.
Pennsy's Standing Invitation.
Even before the amendment was made
last year the association was invited to
hold its games at Philadelphia en- Frank
lin Field but there was always a howl
about it every time the invitation was
renewed, mainly owing to the suspicious
colleges had that "Pennsy'' was trying to
gain an undue advantage.
Now that Pennsylvania does not occupy
so conspicuous a place in track athletics
the proposition to hold the games on
Franklin Field has met with favor in many
quarters, and especially because of the
poor attendance at the games in New
York
May Change This Year
Remembering the great crowds which
annually attend the relay races at Frank
lin Field the Intercollegiate Association
committee is considering the advisability
of holding the annual championships in
Philadelphia this May instead of at Mott
Haven.
Manager Ellis will do all in his power
TO bring the games to the Quaker City,
and If the games are held there, as is
most probable. the University of Penn
sylvania will entertain the athletes of the
different colleges and the meet will take
on a social character that it has never
before known.
Yale's Interscholastic Meet.
A large number of responses have been
received to the invitations sent out to
over hundred schools and academies in
the Eastern and Middle States and in this
city TO attend meet to be held under
the auspices of the Yale Track Athletic
Association at Yale Field on May q. II
is proposed to form a permanent organi-
zation. to be known as the Yale Inter-
scholastic Track Association which will
have annual meets under Yale athletic
auspices. Gold, silver and bronze medals
will be given for individual honors, and a
cup Will be awarded the school winning
the greatest number of points. The events
Will include the usual dashes, runs, hur-
dies. jumps. hammer throwing, shot put

to be bigger success than its promoters
ever hoped for. This city will send sew
eral entries.
