ST. CLOUD A WINNER

St Cloud. Newton Bennington's two
year-old that disappointed his trainer last
week. made amends at New Orleans yes
terday afternoon by winning the Sd race
a the Crescent City Jockey clubs track.
He beat a good field of youngsters In a
gallop.
There was no doubt about the result
from the beginning of the race, and the
New Workers who had backed him heav-
lily from to 8 to 10 knew they were
safe after the first furlong. Little Wanda
was the early pacemaker. She displayed Il
remarkable burst OF speed In the first
furlong. She broke eleven In the field OF
fourteen contestants, but caught her
stride so quickly and had so much foot
that she went 20 the front with rush,
and was soon leading the pack by half
length. ST. Cloud easily held her and at
the stretch drew clear and won in a gall
lop by two lengths before Miss Custus.

DELEGATE UNHAMPERED

At a meeting held yesterday at Phila-
delphina by the university committee on
athletics of the University OF Pennsyl-
vania Il was decided not TO hamper John
{. Bell, the universtys representative
on the football rules committee. with in
structions on the question OF the amalga-
nation of the old rules committee with
the rules committee appointed by the ma
tional intercollegiate football conference
although IL was the sense OF the univer-
sity that its delegate should favor the
newly organized body. The commfftee
nevertheless, expressed the fear that any
material enlargement of the rules commit
tee might. result in irreconcilable differ
ences OF opinion and the defeat of the ul-
Innate object, the preservation and inn
provement o fthe game.
The committee further expressed the
opinion that while the actual playing rules
might be left TO any representative COM
mittee OF experts. the larger questions Of
the ethics of the sport. such as eligibility
and the athletic relations of one institu-
tion to another, should properly be dealt
with by faculty committees.
The university committee surprised the
student body by refusing 10 ratify the
election OF Vincent H. Stevenson OF Lex
