minnesota. got six points and fifth place
in the Amateur Athletic union indoor meet
at Milwaukee Saturday night, Bockman
taking first place in the high hurdles and
third in the low hurdles. Haroldson VINO
entered in the mile run, failed to get
place
Bockman ran tie in the high hurdles
with Schulz of Wisconsin university, who
ran under the colors of the Milwaukee
Athletic club. In the run-of BOckman
crossed the tape a few inches ahead.
That Bockman got only third place In
the low hurdles caused some surprise mere,
for it was believed that the Minnesota
man could beat any hurdler in the west
outside of Noloney, at any distance. 1t
must be considered. however, that Book
man is pre- -eminently a track man, and
has never had much experience In indoor
work. His showing Saturday night does
not in the minds Of competent judges. in
dicate that he will fail to win first in both
hurdle events in all the tarck meets this
spring. It.
The meet was won by the First regiment
"A. A.. team of Chicago, with 35 points.
The Milwaukee Athletic club was a good
second with 81 points. Chicago university
third was 13 and the Central Y. M. &. A.
of Chicago fourth with 9.
Naturally university team is at dis
advantage in competition with an indie
pendent organization, such as the First
regiment or Milwaukee associations. The
Milwaukee a. c.; for instance, had its
pick of all the, Wisconsin track. men. and
in addition had the services of many out
siders.
The distance runs furnished another
proof of the ability as a trainer of Kill
patrick of Wisconsin. Wisconsin univers-
ity (though running for the Milwaukee A
C) captured first and second in the mile
1,1In in the r11arfar and first in
the two mile.
AS a side issue. George R. Gray, in ar
exhibition of putting the 16-pound shot
broke the worlds indoor record Of Al fee1
S inches by throwing the weight As fee1
2 inches. Gray, was not allowed to com
pete at this meeting because he has not

FORM STATE LEAGUE
Bowlers Of the State Are Sum-
moned to Meet in St. Paul,
March is.
Annual Tournaments Will Be Held
II When tho League Is Fairly
Launched.

Y A meeting of bowlers Of the state has
been called for March 16 in st. Paul to dis
cuss plans for the formation, Of a state
league. All the prominent clubs have
been invited to send representatives and
it is expected that delegates will be pres
ent from all parts OF the state.
Although the standard of bowling in
Minnesota is fully as high as in any Of
the northwestern states, the Gophers have
been behind the times in this respect.
Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois all have
state leagues, and annual tournaments
are held every year with great success.
There are now four regularly organized
bowling leagues in Minneapolis, and
similar number in st. Paul. A state league
would do much to increase the interest in
the game not only in the twin cities, but,
in all parts of the state and a state tour
nament in Minneapolis or st. Paul, each
year would draw a large entry list.
That the popularity of bowling in Min
neapolis is not decreasing is shown by
the crowds which throng the alleys every
day and more especially on Saturdays.
At one Of the best known down town es-
tablishments few minutes before
o'clock Sunday morning every alley was
in use, and two parties were waiting for
chance to bowl. isrE.-
A two-man seven-up tournament will be
started at Spears alleys within a week or
two. A dozen teams have already en-
tered for the contest, for which an at
tractive list Of prizes: has been prepared.
The preliminary contests in the inter-
fraternity bowling league Of the university
will probably be finished this week, and
| the two teams winning out in each section
| will compete in the finals, which will be-
gin next week. The standing OF the
| teams follows:

Secretary Ballou of the United States
Golf association has proofs ready Of the
new st. Andrews rules and the interpre-
tations of the American committee. AS
soon as revised by the committee the
rules will be printed lin the year book.
Clubs in a hurry may obtain copies of the
proof, for it is doubtful if the committee
will need to make any changes in the text.
The committee has retained the etiquette
Of golf,'' omitted by the ST.. Andrews COM
rnittee. :s.,t...-s y i rzssltss :
The only change from the former code
lis in section Z. The former section reads:
"Seven-On request being made, a
/ three-ball match must allow 2asss single,
three some or four-s some to pass. Any
match playing a whole round may claim
the right to pass match playing short
er round So
The first part of the section is now SUI
perseded by rule 1, section A, which fixes
by. right what was formerly a matter Of
courtesy. 1t gives a single three-some or
four-some the precedence, over and the
right to pass any other kind of match.
The committee comedies this, but makes
the excellent point that. a three-ball or
four-ball match keeping its place on the
green should be treated as properly
constituted match and match
starting on any tee except the first
tee is defined for the first time by the
American committee. Such d match is
bracketed with one playing a shorter
round. even though the match starting at
| the midway point may intend to go the
| full round at tournaments, to get a larger
field away quickly, the pairs are often
| started from two tees, andxthe committee
| has solved q question Of precedence often
raised when such is the case.
| The new section reads: Any match
| playing a whole round may claim the right
] to paAs match playing a. shorter round
| or a match starting at other than the first
4 tee. While a threeIban or four -bal
match may be passed Grule 1, definition
/ Al, such match Keeping its place On the
green should be treated as a properly con.

MAY CUT OUT FOOTBALL
Harvard Is Seriously Considering
the Abolition Of All Inter-
Collegiate Games.

It is stated that the faculty of Har-S
ward university has seriously considered
the advisabilit of abolishing inter-
collegiate football at Harvard and that it
has referred the matter to the Harvard
athletic committee for consideration and
advice" The athletic committee is now
in a position where it must investigate
and render a decision.
A motion that the game be abolished
so far as intercollegiate games are con-
cerned was offered at a faculty meeting
last fall before the close Of the 7ootball
season. The advisability of taking such
a radical step was freely discussed at
several faculty meetings and that the
matter ultimately was referred to the
athletic committee (the only body that
can take final action) shows how serious
ly it was considered.
