BAR COLLEGE ATHLETES.
4. A. L. Would Make Students In
eligible Until After Graduation.

eligible Until After Graduation.
New York, July BIT is now the plan
Of the a. A. L. to SO reform its rules reg
ulaung the competition Of college athletes
for athletic clubs that they will be unable
10 sport club uniforms until a year after
their graduation from college. This was
learned yesterday from one of the powers
in the union, and action along these lines
viii be taken at the November meeting Of
the A. A. L.
An attempt was made by the A. A. T..
to bring about this result in a more grad
ual way, but it failed of its purpose. the
college athletes finding a loophole by
which they could squeeze their way into
competition for the athletic clubs. At the
recent junior championship meet the feel
ing against college men ran very strong
and many protests were made against the
two biggest clubs, the New York Athletic
club and the Irish-American Athletic
Club, both of which are packed with men
who have just been forced to stop running
for their colleges because the institutions
are closed for the summer
The new plan suggested seems 70 he the
most practical offered so far. Last vear's
rule would have been effective had II been
adopted by the college as well as the A
A. l.. but it wasn't. The plan now under
consideration is to make any athlete who
has competed for his college Ineligible to
compete for an athletic club until q Yea
after he has lnft college. This will enable
many Of the athletes in the clubs. who
have not the time 10 train as the col
legians do, to get 9 chance in the cham
pionships. AS it is now, the college bows
have sort of monopoly on every cham
pionship that comes along, except where
they can be entered against such stars as

1905 Travers has been leader in Eastern

He and Graham were photographed as
