STANFORD TEAM
IS REINSTATED

SAN FRANCISCO. July .. - The
track team of Stanford University
which was suspended by the registra-
ton committee of the Rocky Mountain
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union has been reinstated The news
was conveyed by telegram yesterday
from Major John J. Dixon, chairman
of the national registration commit
tee, and the prompt action Of the au-
thorities in the East on the protest
of the local committee was received
with considerable satisfaction in local
athletic circles.
Stanford was suspended by the
Rocky Mountain Association for parti-
cipating in a dual meet with the Uni
versity of Colorado, in which the Co

which Stanford is a member, enter
ed a formal profess which was sent
to the national committee in which
ii was pointed out that the Rocky
Mountain Association had 10 author
men and that the suspension was not
only unjust but detrimental TO the
cause of athletics on this Coast where
the Stanford men are highly esteem
ed
The removal of the suspension will
enable several members of the team
to participate in the Pacific Athletic
Associations CHAMPIONSHIPS which are
to be held at Los Angeles on We'd
nesday next.
Among those are John o. Miller and
d. p. Crawford, both of whom are
members of the Olympic CLUB and will
compete under the clubs colors.
Miller holds the Coast record of
1857 2-5 for the half mile and is look
ed upon as a sure winner in the south.
He has been running in rare form this
year ana at the conference meet in
Chicago he easily captured the half
mile from the best college runners of
the Middle West. Miller is also a good
quarter miller and has an excellent
chance to capture this championship
| also.
Crawford was Stanford's best man
in the weight events last year. He
won both the hammer throw and the
shot put in the annual dual meet with
| California and also won these events
in the conference meet at Chicago.
Crawford will be opposed to Rose in
the weight events at Los Angeles, but
as both will be competing for the

taking first and second in these events
are good.

Arthur Wellman, now in command
of the camp, reports that the work Of
rebuilding the house has already be

prepared plans for new and stronger
