teur Athletes Of America held its thirty
fourth annual convention at the Waldorf.
Astoria yesterday, and along with the cleo
tlon Of oficers for the ensuing season hey-
eral vital matters touching on college sport
In the East were discussed. One OF the most
important OF these was the selection Of a
location for the annual track and field meet
this spring. and after due deliberation the
stadium at Harvard was selected. IL was
the feeling OF those present that Pennsyl-
vania shall have the meet again In 1910.

answered the roll call were as follows:

ton were read and adopted the chairman

of three colleges for membership in the
association. They were the University
OF Virginia, Bowdoln College and Massa-
chpsetts Institute of Technology. The
letter from Virginia asking for admission
created some amusement among those
present and was original and harmless.

ton Of some Of the delegates around the
room 1t was learned that Virginia also had
some good quarter milers and a relay team
that took the measure of Pennsylvania
at one OF the indoor meets recently. On |

Virginia was admitted. So Jim Rector |

seconded by II, +. Hall, Columbia. Massa-
ohusetts Institute Of Technology was elected.
q. 4. Burns of Dartmouth moved that Bow
doln be admitted. and there being no dis
senting voice the Maine institution was
duly elected. Bowdoin held membership
in the association some years ago. II
There was no objection to Harvard
getting the track and field meet this year
and Pennsylvania having II in 1910. IL
