STATUS OF COLLEGE
ATHLETES DEFINED

John j. Dixon. chairman of the ma
tional registration committee Of the
Amateur Athletic Union Of the United
States, has received during the past
few weeks several inquiries in relation
to the status of college athletes who
have been registered with their clubs
and who have competed for their clubs
during the summer vacation. They all
seem to be anxious to have a clear
definition of the law governing the
right of college athletes to compete.
In answer to all these communica-
tionS. John ]. Dixon has made the fol-
lowing decision: An athlete who has
registered for his club in the district
wherein he resides can neither continue
his registration for his club and COM
pete for 1t In open games while 60
ing to college. or he can transfer his
registration to his college and compete
for that college organization in open
competition if he SO desires. Any ath-
lete. college student, now competing
for and ii member of. an athletic club,
who completes for such athletic club
after the opening of the scholastic year
will thereafter be ineligible to repre-
sent his college in open meetings. But
there is nothing to prevent college
man who has competed for his own
club from continuing to represent his
club in. open competition and his col
lege in collegiate competition. Under
no circumstances, however, can he rep
resent both his college and his club in
open competition
In other words. during the scholastic
year a college student must elect which
organization he will represent in open
competition. He cannot represent both
in open competition, but he can repre-
sent his club in open competition and
his college in competitions closed to
colleges.

TOURIST TRAVEL FROM WEST.
Increase Due to Granting of Re-
duced Summer Rates.

CHICAGO, September 25.-Railroad
traffic officers assert that tourist travel
rom the west to the Atlantic seaboard
was increased from Is to 80 per cent this
summer by the granting for the first
time Of reduced tourist rates.
For the months of June, July, August
and September rates e approximately a
fare and a half for the round trip were
made, and these have now been extended
to cover the dates of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration in New York.
The increased travel to the east is re-
garded by railroad men as particularly
gratifying, as western railroads were at
the same time carrying unprecedentedly
large numbers of passengers on account
of the heavy travel to the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition at Seattle.

abled In the recent bout with Papke. But

consultation with Johnson, informed
ketchell and Britt that the fight would
take place October L., and that if KetchelI
was not ready to go on then Johnson
would receive 5000 forfeit which COT
froth holds. So ketchell will have to

mad plenty OF time to prepare for it and is
making an unreasonable demand for post
pOnement.
Johnson says that he is also tired of
waiting to hear from Jeffries. He de-
clares that If the boilermaker does not
come back from Europe within the next
month he will declare everything off.
Johnson cannot be convinced that Jeffries
means to fight him, and predicts that the

will sign vaudeville contracts that will
carry him through the winter and spring.
