President Sullivan, of A. A. u, Claimed
to Know Nothing of Suspension by
S. A. A.-Cup Held Up.

? PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.-The Penn
sylvania track athletes that journeyed
10 Boston last Saturday 10 compete in
the indoor games held under the aus
pices Of the Boston Athletic Association,
will probably be the last ones to under
take that journey. judging from the ex-
pressions heard at Pennsylvania yester-
day concerning the treatment received
from about every source during the
meet.
First, trouble and a misunderstanding
came about between the mca and the
A. A L. concerning the entry of Has
kins, the Pennsylvania intercollegiate
mile champion, which resulted in the
Quakers not getting the cup for the re-
lay race they won from Dartmouth: sec

Harvard students and graduates while
in the dressing room, and, third. Nc
Culloch, after winning a place in the
finals in the special hurdle race, was
not notified when that event was pulled
of, and it was run without him.
Trouble About Haskins.
Concerning the first Of the troubles,
that in regard to Haskins and the two
mile relay race. Murphy took all the
trouble to notify his manager to have
him wire James L. Sullivan, president
of the \. a. L. concerning the eligi-
bility of Haskins for this race before
going, and Sullivan replied that it was
all right and that Haskins could run.
The reason for this was that Haskins
had been barred for six months by the

had the matter straightened out for the
race and HaSkins ran. a protest. how
ever, preventing Penn from obtaining
the cup they won, the protest being
based on Haskins ineligibility in \. A

Insulted by Harvard Men.
The Draper affair was what hurt the
Quaker most, though it appeared that
everyone was down on them. Draper
went down to the dressing room after
competing in the shot put, where former
Captain Hurley, Of the Harvard foot
ball team, and a number OF Harvard
men had gathered. Hurley proceeded
TO make remarks about Pennsylvania as
