AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION


 New York, Nov 1S.-After q long at its annual meeting to- oay, the Amateur Athletic union final " decided on the status that college athletes are to hold in amateur atb- letics in the future.
 By the resolution which was flnollv passed 1t Is decreed that college ath- letes may only register with the pninn rom two places, their colleges and the homes of their parents or guardians An attempt was made to confine eo,- lege athletes to their colleges, but the delegates believing that this chaure was also altogether too drastic. sne resolution was amended to include their homes. This action will, how ever, prevent college athletes fran representing athletic clubs and small summer resorts during the summer vacations.
 James E. Sullivan was unanimously reelected president of the union. and Major John J. Dixon was continued Tn the position of secretary and treas urer John J. O'Connor Fl. G. Penni- man, Dr. George Orton and Everett C. Brown were elected vice presidents
 The session ended with banouet at the New York Athletic club thist evening at which were present a num- Der of men prominent in athletic con trol and where several speeches were made.
 President Sullivan in his annual ad- dress advocated dealing with college athletes In liberal spirit: We want to place the college men in the right position" he said. We must not crit lclze the entire athletic structure. we want the cooperation of college men, and their good will, for on the whole college sports are wholesome and honest. IA few college men probably receive benefits, but that can all be adjusted bf the various registration committees.
 The men in control of college ath- letics we know to be honest and capa- ble, and we know they are striving for the betterment of athletics"
 In regard to the skating situation, President Sullivan said:
 The amateur athletic union was un- consciously drawn into row with the skating association last year. and as result we had a disturbance in the amateur skating ranks Out of the row has come a new organization. the International Skating union. and be- lieve we ought to recognize and atfil- fate with that body"
 Athletic championships at exposi- tions were commendedby the president and he particularly recommended fav- orable action on the proposition of the Pacific Northwest division, advanced by delegates A A. Goldsmith in rela- ton to sports at the Yukon, Alaska, exposition at Seattle in 1909
 Registration committees of the var- ious divisions wereswarned by the pres- fdent that on them rested the funda- mental principles of the entire union and they were enjoined to keep ath- letics in their sections free from pro- fessionalism by strict and summary action in the cases of offenders against the unions rules. Tn regard to the Olympic games which will be held in London in 1908, MT. Sullivan said that the American committee was now at work on the plan for complete Am erican team for that event on a re- quest from Lord Desbrough, who is handling the English end of the game.
