AMATEUR TRACK
MEN TROUBLED
CHARGES OF PROFESSIONAL
ISM ARE MADE
May Interfere with Entries Of Local
clnder Athletes to otanford
Meet on the 23d of
March

A pretty turn of affairs has now
arisen among the amateur track ath-
letes of Southern California, and one
that is sincerely to be regretted, In that
1t may bar local cinder men from COM
petition at the Stanford meet which Is
TO be held March %.
1t appears that certain youngsters of
the various schools hereabouts have
been competing for commercial prizes
at Chutes park. Los Angeles high and
Los Angeles Polytechnic may be most
seriously affected IL disbarment is
made.
Complaint came recently from Stan
ford, where Mcfarland, who has charge
OF the meet, sent local principals a
notice that some of their students were
accused of professionalism, in that they
had taken prizes for open competition.
1t cannot be denied that several local
men ran at Chutes park, though they
claim they were ignorant' of the law
which made such a procedure serious.
Certain high school students believe
that Harvard military academy insti-
tuted the initiative proceedings in an
endeavor to thwart their opponents.
The entire situation is badly mixed,
and only demonstrates further that the
Amateur Athletic union has exceedingly
poor representation in Southern Cali
fornia.
